- 2 · Introduction / Features
- ╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- PowerCID is a simple little utility for FrontDoor/InterMail Mailers and
- for RemoteAccess BBS Software which will import the CallerID Name and
- Number into your RA.LOG file.
-
- PWR-CID.EXE reads your specified mailer log file and searches for the
- following two lines:
-
- DFRS: NMBR = 4075696568
- DFRS: NAME = DOE JIM
-
- PWR-CID.EXE will import these lines into your specified RemoteAccess LOG
- file properly, such as:
-
- ---------- Mon 08 Apr 96, RA 2.50.bD+ line #1
- > 18:55:01 Jim Doe on-line at 33600 BPS
- > 18:55:04 Security level 50, 47 mins today, 0 mins this session
- > 18:55:40 Home #: 407-555-5555, Data #: 407-569-6568
- > 18:55:49 PowerCID Info: NAME = DOE JIM
- > 18:55:49 PowerCID Info: NUMBER = 407-569-6568
- > 18:56:05 User requested to terminate the call
- > 18:56:06 User off-line
-
- It will import the CallerID Name first and then the CallerID Number, after
- it's been reformatted with the dashes.

- 3 · Installation/Configuration (PCIDCFG.EXE)
- ╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Installation of PowerCID is quite simple. Just follow these step:
-
- 1.) Create a directory called \RA\PWR-CID (or one of your choice)
- 2.) Unzip PWRCID10.ZIP into the \RA\PWR-CID directory
- 3.) Run PCIDCFG.EXE and then define the path and filenames for the logs:
-
- ╔═════════════════════════════ PowerCID v1.0 ═══════════════════════════════╗
- ║FD Log File: C:\LOGS\FD.LOG∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ║
- ║RA Log File: C:\LOGS\RA.LOG∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ║
- ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- o Define the path and filename for the FrontDoor LOG.
- o Define the path and filename for the RemoteAccess LOG.
-
- 4.) Create a batch file called PWR-CID.BAT which looks like:
-
- @Echo Off
- cd\ra\pwr-cid
- pwr-cid.exe
- exit
-
- 5.) Go into the RemoteAccess Menu Editor, and edit your TOP.MNU.
-
- Add the two commands to the top of your TOP.MNU in this order:
-
- Display : ;
- MenuCmnd: 47 (Make an entry in the system log)
- Opt Data: Home: ^FE, Data: ^FD (^F refers to CTRL-P, CTRL-F)
- AutoExec: YES
-
- Display : ;
- MenuCmnd: 7 (Run an external door)
- Opt Data: *C /c c:\path\pwr-cid.bat *M
- AutoExec: YES
-
- 6.) That's it! You are done with the installation. Get someone to logon
- and then check your RA.LOG file!

- 4 · Multinode Operations
- ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- You have two options to run this program multinode:
-
- o METHOD ONE: Copying the CFG to .1, .2, and back again.
-
- - Make 1 CFG file for your Node 1 defaults, and then rename it to
- PWR-CID.1.
-
- - Run PCIDCFG.EXE again and this time configure it for your Node 2
- defaults. Exit and then rename this to PWR-CID.2.
-
- - Do so for the remaining number of nodes that you have that support
- CallerID.
-
- - The menu command which calls the batch file from the TOP.MNU should
- read something like this:
-
- Display : ;
- MenuCmnd: 7 (Run external door)
- Opt Data: *C /c c:\path\pwr-cid.bat *N *M
- AutoExec: YES
-
- The Batch File should read:
-
- @Echo Off
- cd\ra\pwr-cid
- copy pwr-cid.%1 pwr-cid.cfg
- pwr-cid.exe
- exit
-
- o METHOD TWO: Install the Program for as many nodes as you have.
-
- - Simply create \RA\PWR-CID1, \RA\PWR-CID2, \RA\PWR-CID3, etc..
- - Then follow the instructions from Chapter 2.
