Trumpet (we suggest you obtain the current version of Trumpet,
======= which is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.techsmith.com)
Overview
To use Trumpet Winsock to connect to a Foray PPP Server, you must
first install Trumpet Winsock, configure your network protocol
parameters and communication port, and then modify a dialing
script. The following notes apply for Windows and Windows for
Workgroups systems and Trumpet Winsock version 2.0c or later.
Install Trumpet Winsock
The following steps describe the installation of Trumpet Winsock.
1. Make a Trumpet Winsock directory: mkdir C:\TRUMPET
2. Copy the Trumpet Winsock distribution to the Trumpet Winsock
directory: copy A:\*.* C:\TRUMPET
3. Change to the Trumpet Winsock directory: cd C:\TRUMPET
4. Execute the self extracting Trumpet Winsock archives (answer
Y to any overwriting prompts): execute TWSK20f.EXE and
WINAPPS2.EXE (for version 2.0f)
5. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include C:\TRUMPET: add the
line SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\TRUMPET to the end of AUTOEXEC.BAT
6. Reboot your system to have the AUTOEXEC.BAT modification take
effect.
Configure Protocol and Port Usage
The following steps describe the network protocol and
communication port configuration.
1. Attach your modem to your communications port
2. Start Windows or Windows For Workgroups
3. In the Program Manager, select File/Run and execute the
command C:\TRUMPET\TCPMAN. Note that it may be more
convenient to create a program group for Trumpet Winsock and
program items for C:\TRUMPET\TCPMAN and utilities like
C:\TRUMPET\PINGW, instead of using File/Run.
4. Leave the IP address, Netmask, and Default Gateway configured
to 0.0.0.0
5. Fill in your Name Server IP address (you may need to ask your
Foray PPP Server administrator for the IP address of the Name
Server)
6. Leave the Time Server and Domain Suffix fields empty
7. In most cases you can use the default values for the following
parameters: Packet Vector (00), MTU (1500), TCPRWIN (4096),
TCP MSS (1460), Demand Load Timeout (5), TCP RTO MAX (60).
However, in most cases, setting TCPRWIN to 6000 will eliminate
"jerky" movement sometimes seen when viewing graphics.
8. Check the Internal PPP box
9. Set the SLIP Port to the communications port number which has
the modem attached
10. Set the communications port Baud Rate. If you have a 28.8
modem, you can probably set the baud rate to 57600, as long as
you have an internal modem or 16550 UART and a 486DX66 or
faster workstation.
11. Check the Hardware Handshake box
12. Leave the Van Jacobson CSLIP compression box clear
13. Select an Online Status Detection method (e.g. None)
14. Click OK
15. Restart Trumpet Winsock if it does not automatically restart
(use Program Manager File/Run to execute the command
C:\TRUMPET\TCPMAN)
Note that the network protocol and communication port can be
reconfigured at any time by selecting File/Settings in the
Trumpet Winsock application window (C:\TRUMPET\TCPMAN).
Modify the Dialing Script and PPP Options
The Foray PPP Server does not require a terminal server login
process. Instead, it uses the PPP Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) to perform automatic user authentication (Foray
Server also supports PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (CHAP), but CHAP is not currently supported by Trumpet
Winsock). Since Foray PPP Server uses PAP, the dialing script
required for Foray PPP Server is much simpler than the default
script (LOGIN.CMD) provided with Trumpet Winsock. The default
dialing script (LOGIN.CMD) is used to connect to a PPP server
when you select Dialler/Login in Trumpet Winsock. The following
steps describe how to configure PAP and modify the default
dialing script to connect to a Foray PPP Server. (The Foray PPP
Server bundle provides a modified LOGIN.CMD file for you to use
with these modifications already made.)
1. In a Command Prompt window, make a backup copy of the default
Trumpet Winsock dialing script: copy C:\TRUMPET\LOGIN.CMD
C:\TRUMPET\LOGIN.BAK.
2. In the Trumpet Winsock application window (C:\TRUMPET\TCPMAN),
select File/PPP Options.
3. Check the Use Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) box.
4. Enter the Username and Password for your account on the Foray
PPP Server if PAP has been enabled.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Trumpet Winsock window, select Dialler/Edit Scripts.
7. Select login.cmd to edit the default dialing script used by
Dialler/Login.
8. In the Notepad editor, delete all lines in the file after the
line wait 30 dcd (e.g. select all the lines after wait 30
dcd with the mouse and then hit the Delete key):
...
# wait till itÆs safe to send because some modemÆs hang up
# if you transmit during the connection phase
#
wait 30 dcd
<<< Delete from here to the end of the file >>>
#
# now prod the terminal server
#
...
display \n
display Connected. Your IP address is \i.\n
end
#
# now we are finished.
#
end
<<< end of file >>>
9. Save the modified login.cmd file by selecting File/Save.
10. Exit Notepad by selecting File/Exit.
The modification to the default dialing script described above is
the minimal required modification for connecting to a Foray PPP
Server in almost all cases. You may want to edit login.cmd
further to customize the modem initialization string for your
particular modem and remove the unnecessary Username and Password
prompts.
Connect to a Foray PPP Server
The following steps describe using Trumpet Winsock to connect to
a Foray PPP Server.
1. In Trumpet Winsock, select Dialler/Login.
2. When prompted, enter the phone number for the Foray PPP Server.
3. When prompted for a Username and Password, just click OK (they
are not used for a Foray PPP Server login). Note that you can
remove the Username and Password prompt by editing login.cmd
and removing the corresponding sections of the dialing script.
4. At this point, you should see the modem dial commands and
response followed by a successful PPP login:
...
atz
OK
atdt 5551212
CONNECT 9600/V32...
Script completed
PPP ENABLED
Accepted:Welcome!
My Ip address = 192.1.1.197
...
5. Test your Foray PPP Server connection using C:\TRUMPET\PINGW
to ping the IP address of a system accessible via the Foray
Server (e.g. a Name Server, FTP Server, or WWW Server).
6. Select Dialler/Bye in Trumpet Winsock to hang up the
connection to the Foray PPP Server.
