Operating DW Host
-----------------
If the DW Host drive/directory is the current default, and your modem
is turned on, simply enter the following command to run:
DWHost (or HOST if employing batch file)
The complete syntax of DW Host is as follows:
DWHost [ L|[ C|T ] [ S ] ] [ O ]
The C and T are optional parameters which invoke the callback mode or
triggered callback mode (but only if the callback mode had been
configured during the setup of DWCONFIG). If the S parm is specified
alone or appended to another parm such as C or T, the "slow" BIOS
screen write method will be used for writing to the host system
screens. Otherwise, fast screen writing methods are used. If running
under a multi-tasker such as Omniview or DoubleDOS, some bleed through
may be noted if DW Host is operating in a background partition. In
such cases, specifying the S parm clears up that problem. Examples:
DWHost T or DWHost CS or DWHost S
(or HOST C or HOST TS or HOST S if employing batch file)
The L parm specifies local mode (no communication with a modem) as
mentioned in an earlier section. The O parm is used only when
employing the batch file option to recycle the code externally.
DW Host invoked with the O disconnects the caller and exits back to
the batch file. When used the O parm must be the only command line
parm.
To terminate DW Host operation from the host console, hit F1 or F2. If
a caller is logged on to the system and currently operating at the DOS
level, DOORWAY COM1 or DOORWAY COM2 in effect, a more drastic means is
necessary to terminate DW Host (i.e., the power switch).
As the caller who has successfully logged on to the system, you may
log off in an orderly manner by entering EXIT from any directory.
If you are using either of the callback modes and awaiting the
callback, you may answer DW Host's call to your location in one of
several different ways:
- Set up to receive a call per your modem and/or communications
program documentation, or
- If using one of the communications programs which, in terminal mode
before a connect leaves the Hayes compatible modem in command state
(e.g., PibTerm, Qmodem, or ProComm), you may type the command
ATA when the onscreen report of RING is received from your modem,
or
- You may setup your modem before or during the session to
Auto-Answer mode by entering ATS0=1 or including ATS0=1 in the
modem initialization string. If your modem has indicator lights,
the AA light will be lit after that command takes effect.
When operating in the callback security mode, DW Host makes the call
using the baud rate established during the initial call into DW Host.
Upon successful connect at your location, you are immediately granted
access to the host machine (just as though you had entered the correct
password in normal mode).
When calling out under "Triggered Callback" operation, the baud rate
specified in the configuration file DWCONFIG is used. Upon successful
connect you are presented the configurable one-line greeting that
normally is presented to callers when DW Host answers a call. Entry
of the correct password is required before dropping to DOS on the host
machine.
