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.
