---------------------------------
Generic Installation Instructions
---------------------------------
Unless otherwise noted, you can add modem drivers by following these
steps.
1) Stop NetWare MHS and exit.
2) If you are running the Network Edition, re-login as a supervisor
equivalent (necessary to change the MHS configuration and copy
files to the MHS directory).
3) Install your new modem following the manufacturer's instructions.
4) Type "MHS" and press <Enter> twice (to display the main menu)
- Select "Manage Directories"
- Select "Set up this host"
5) Set modem type to the correct driver name (eg 96V32HUB)
- Set Default speed for modem (in this case 9600)
6) Exit to the Directory Manager
- Exit to the main menu
7) Select "Setup Transport Server"
- Set Speed sensing enabled to YES or NO depending on the modem
- Change the modem type to the correct driver name (same as in
step 5)
- Change the modem speed to match that in step 5 (here it's 9600)
8) Make sure that all "hosts which call this host" have a baud rate
compatible with yours in their host definition at this host.
9) Exit MHS, logout, and log MHS back in (for the Personal Edition,
just restart MHS).
General Note concerning high-speed modems:
If you have an older computer or a PC/XT or PC compatible computer -
check the chip used in the serial port. If the chip is an 8250 or 8250B
it will NOT work at high speed. To allow high speed modems to be used,
get an AT serial card that uses a faster version of the 8250 (numbered
as a 82450, 16450, or 16550). An AT serial card WILL work in a PC/XT.
Special Instructions for Each Modem

------------------------------
Modem driver name: PP96-HUB (can be used both to send and receive
calls)
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (Modem does the speed sensing).
NOTE: When using this modem, MHS will sometimes register a "ghost
call" a few minutes after the modem has successfully completed a
call. MHS will report a "failed" call, but there will be no ill
effects. Also, the modem may take up to twenty seconds to shut down the
connection. More recent firmware may have changed this behavior.
E-Tech BulletModem E9696M
-------------------------
Modem driver name: BULLET96 (with MNP) and BULLETEC (without MNP).
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (Modem does the speed sensing).
US Robotics COURIER HST
-----------------------
Modem driver name: HSTD-HUB (for dual standard and V.32 modems with
MNP) and HSTDNMNP (without MNP).
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (Modem does the speed sensing)
NOTE: If you experience some failures when connecting this modem to
another HST Dual Standard modem, change the default speed to 9600.
When using HSTNMNP, the modem runs without MNP (V.42). This will work
for V.32 modes but not HST modes. The files can be mixed with HSTD-HUB
to create special conditions.

Intel 9600EX
------------
Modem driver name: INTELV32
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (modem does the speed sensing)
NOTE: If you are using this modem to talk to a 2400 baud modem, add a
space followed by "s1 after the phone number.
NEC 9631
---------
Modem driver name: NEC9631
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (modem does the speed sensing)
Note: For outgoing calls to some 2400 Non-MNP modems you will need to
code an additional command into the dial string in the hosts entry. When
you enter the phone number for the host enter a space and %B3 after the
phone number.
Example:
1,2065551212 %B3
You may also need to change the baud rate in the Host Table for the host
to 2400.
Important Note: You must use the phone cord supplied with the NEC 9631
modem to ensure proper operation. Use of a standard phone cord may cause
errors such as: NO DIALTONE or NO ANSWER. Also, do NOT use the NEC9632
modem driver with this modem. Doing so may have unpredictable
consequences.
NEC 9632
---------
Modem driver name: NEC9632
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (modem does the speed sensing)
Notes: For outgoing calls to some 2400 Non-MNP modems you will need to
code an additional command into the dial string in the hosts entry. When
you enter the phone number for the host enter a space and %B3 after the
phone number.
Example:
1,2065551212 %B3
You may also need to change the baud rate in the Host Table for the host
to 2400.
The I9632E Dual Modem is the NEC rack-mount (intelligent chassis). You
must perform the following operations to the chassis itself:

Important Note: Do NOT use the NEC9631 driver with this modem. Doing so
will cause problems with the 9632 and may cause problems with MHS as
well.
Hayes V-Series ULTRA Smartmodem 9600
------------------------------------
Modem driver name: 96V32 (for sending only), 96V32HUB (for sending
and receiving)
Default speed: 9600
Speed sensing enabled: NO (this driver does not support speed sensing)
NOTE: This driver has been made obsolete by the HULTRA driver. It is
still fully supported by Novell.
Hayes V-Series ULTRA Smartmodem 9600
------------------------------------
Modem driver name: HULTRA
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (the modem does the speed sensing)
Important Note: Hayes V-Series Modems REQUIRE RTS (pin 4) to be connected
when the modem is connected at 9600 or the modem will not TRANSMIT data
to the REMOTE modem. Some pre-made serial cables do not connect RTS to
the computer. Please check that your cable connects the following lines
from the modem to the computer: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, 22. The pins
these lines connect to on the computer side depends on the style of
computer. For example:
o AT 9 Pin Connectors (Modem Pin Number is the FIRST Number)
(Connector on Computer will be a 9 pin MALE (PINS) )
2-3, 3-2, 4-7, 5-8, 6-6, 7-5, 8-1, 20-4, 22-9
o PC/AT 25 Pin Connectors (Modem Pin Number is the FIRST Number)
(Connector on Computer will be a 25 pin MALE (Pins) )
2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 20-20, 22-22
ALL LINES LISTED ARE REQUIRED ON BOTH STYLES.
Also note that A 25 pin FEMALE is a PARALLEL PORT connector. Connecting
the modem to a PARALLEL PORT *WILL* DAMAGE the PARALLEL PORT.

to connect to a hub using the Intel EX modem.
Motorola UDS V.3224/3225 and Codex 1133
---------------------------------------
Modem driver name: UDS322X
Default speed: 19200
Speed sensing enabled: NO (modem does the speed sensing)
NOTE: When using this modem, MHS will sometimes register a "ghost call"
a few minutes after the modem has successfully completed a call. MHS will
report a "failed" call, but there will be no ill effects.
Modems Bundled with the Compaq LTE
----------------------------------
Modem driver name: CMPQLTEB or 2400B-CE
Default speed: 2400
Speed sensing enabled: YES
Note: There have been two different modems bundled with the Compaq LTE.
Try CMPQLTEB first. If you get port off-line messages or other errors,
try 2400B-CE.
A call from the LTE to a hub with the Codex 3260 modem will have a smaller
chance of success than a call to other high-speed modems using speed sensing.
