PM Terminal Configuration 2/18/93
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.
NOTE: Hardware Handshaking (CTS/RTS) was chosen as this
is the most effective handshaking method for a
multiprocessing system such as OS/2 2.0.
