- PM TERMINAL CONFIGURATION
-
-
- OVERVIEW
-
- PM TERMINAL is based on an object oriented system. The session you
- select from the main menu is composed of Terminal, System
- Environment, Connection Path, Modem, Telephone Network and File
- Transfer objects. A session has one of each object. Once the low
- level objects (i.e Modem) are created, a session profile is easily
- created. This document will give a step by step procedure for
- creating a standard 2400 Hayes Compatible Session.

- III. CompuServ Session Procedure
-
- There is a problem downloading files from any communication
- session which is not a default of eight data bits, one stop
- bit and no parity (8N1). CompuServ Information Service (CIS)
- is an example of such a session. This is the work around for
- the problem:
-
- 1. First we need to create a special Terminal Profile for
- CIS. We will name this CIS Terminal.
- 2. Using the Left Mouse Button (LMB), select the Session
- menu bar.
- 3. Select Setup Profiles from the menu choices with the LMB.
- 4. Select TERMINAL with the LMB.
- 5. Select ADD with the LMB.
- 6. Click with the LMB on the List Box button (arrow) to
- display choices.
- 7. Select IBM ANSI from the choices listed by clicking once
- with the LMB.
- 8. Select the OK button using the LMB.
- 9. Select the OPERATING MODE choice by clicking once with
- the LMB.
- 10. Select the CHANGE button using the LMB.
- 11. Select "7 Bit Operating Mode" using the LMB.
- 12. Select the OK button using the LMB.
- 13. Select the SAVE AS button using the LMB.
- 14. Enter the name CIS TERMINAL for the name.
- 15. Select the SAVE button using the LMB.
- 16. Select the CLOSE Button using the LMB.
- 17. Select the CLOSE button using the LMB.
- 18. Either select the CIS session which is supplied with PM
- Terminal or use one you created using the steps defined
- above in step one. If you are using a custom session,
- remember that the communication session MUST BE defined
- for eight data bits, one stop bit and no parity (8N1).
- For this example, we will use the predefined CIS Session.
- 19. Select the CIS session by clicking once with the LMB.
- 20. Using the Left Mouse Button (LMB), select the Session
- menu bar.
- 21. Select the CHANGE menu option using the LMB.
- 22. Under the TERMINAL EMULATION PROFILE, click with the LMB
- on the List Box button (arrow) to display choices.
- 23. Select CIS TERMINAL from the select displayed using the
- LMB.
- 24. Under the CONNECTION PROFILE, click with the LMB on the
- List Box button (arrow) to display choices.
- 25. Select a Connection Profile which uses 8 data bits, one
- stop bit and no parity. This could be the custom one you
- created in (I) above.
- 26. Select the OK button using the LMB.
- 27. Select the SAVE button using the LMB.
