This screen controls the settings that permit WinNET Mail to
operate your modem to communicate with the WinNET system.
The defaults will work for most modems, but please check:
o CWI Internet Service Telephone Number. If you are
local to San Francisco, you will need to change this.
You may also need to change it if there are additional
codes for dialing an outside line, international
calling, etc. (see below)
o Port Assignment. Is this correct for your modem?
After your system is setup, you may want to re-run setup and
increase the Interface speed if your modem and machine can
support faster speeds.
Fields:
1. CWI Internet Service Telephone Number. WinNET Mail
communicates with the WinNET server via telephone. The
WinNET server telephone number is:
(415) 752-9360
This is located in San Francisco, California, U.S.A.
You should change the Telephone Number field to contain
whatever number your modem must dial to reach the WinNET
server.
Things to remember:
A. If you are local to San Francisco, you should not
include the area code, just use
752-9360
B. Some business lines require that you get an outside
line first. Often by dialing a 9, or an 8 first.
Example:
9,,1-415-752-9360
For most modems a comma means pause for 2 seconds.
C. For international callers:
Country Code: 1, City Code: 415, phone: 752-9360
2. Interface Speed. This is the speed at which your
computer will talk with your modem. This speed should
be as fast as your modem will support. Please check
your modem manual. Here are some typical speeds
supported by modems.
Modem Type Fastest Interface Speed
300 Baud/BPS 1200 (Should work!)
1200 BPS 1200
2400 BPS 2400
2400 BPS, MNP-5 4800
2400 BPS, v.42bis 9600
9600 BPS, 9600
9600 BPS, MNP-5 19200
9600 BPS, v.42bis 38400
14400 BPS, v.42bis 57600
3. Port Assignment. Choose the Communication (COM) port
that your modem uses: COM 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If you are not sure, it is best to exit WinNET setup and
use the Windows Terminal program to test different ports.
From the Terminal program select menu "Setup", sub menu
"Communications...". "Connector" is the COM port.
"Baud Rate" corresponds to Interface speed for WinNET.
When you have set up Terminal correctly, you should be
able to type "AT" followed by Enter on the main
Terminal screen and get back "OK" from the modem.
4. Packet Window Size. Normally, the default (5)
setting is OK for this. Higher settings will tend to
improve performance where there are good quality phone
connections or you are using error correcting modems.
Lower settings are better when there are noisier line
conditions.
5. Set Factory Default AT Command. This is the modem
command to reset your modem. The default, ATZ, will
work for most modems setting the modem to either the
factory defaults or to the user saved profile. On many
modems, AT&F, will set the modem to factory defaults.
6. Modem Setup AT Command. These commands initialize your
modem with important settings for WinNET. You must use
either the:
V1 - English result codes, or
V0 - Numeric result codes
in this command. You may also want to turn off the
speaker by changing the default M1 command to M0.
7. CPU Utilization. Lower settings cause WinNET to be
more cooperative in sharing computing resources with
other applications. A higher setting can improve
performance somewhat.
8. Dialing. If you phone system does not support
Touch-Tone dialing, select Pulse (rotary).
