 ACCESS SCREEN

 Upon Startup, the program will display
 a screen consisting of a graphic
 underneath a box with four buttons.

 This is the ACCESS SCREEN where the
 user can request to CONNECT or to QUIT
 the network, ask for HELP or access the
 TERMINAL SETUP screen.

**[1][1]
 GETTING HELP

 At any time, the user may access this
 HELP program by pressing ALT-F1.  A
 menu will appear with one or more of
 the following choices:

      (H)elp
      (Q)uit Terminal
      (D)isconnect

 To choose (H)elp, press H on your
 keyboard, highlight that selection
 and press ENTER or click on that
 selection with your mouse pointer.

**[1][2]
 HELP WINDOW 1

 The HELP window has four buttons
 with three boxes labeling the
 buttons' functions above them.

 The button below DONE will always
 read ESC.  Pushing the ESC key on
 your keyboard allows you to exit
 the HELP program.

 When viewing the HELP PAGES after
 making a menu selection, the buttons
 below BROWSE will read PG UP and PG DN.
 You may then use the PG UP and PG DN
 keys on your keyboard to browse through
 the screens of information related to
 your HELP CATEGORY choice.  When there
 are no more screens available, you
 will be returned to the menu.

**[1][3]
 HELP WINDOW 2

 The button below PREV MENU will read
 HOME when you have the option of
 returning to a previous menu.  In this
 case, press the HOME key on your
 keyboard to exit the menu or HELP PAGE
 you are viewing and return to the
 previous menu.

 When accessing HELP, you will be shown
 a menu screen from which to choose a
 HELP CATEGORY.  After making your
 selection, you will be shown a second
 menu screen from which to choose a
 HELP PAGE.  This choice will take you
 to a HELP PAGE of information.  You may
 use the PG UP and PG DOWN to view the
 other HELP PAGES for the HELP CATEGORY
 you have chosen.

**[1][4]
 FILES AND DIRECTORIES

 The network requires all of the files
 from your access software program to
 operate.  DO NOT DELETE any files from
 the directory on your hard drive that
 contains the access software program
 files.
**[1][5]
 DISCONNECTING

 At any time after CONNECT has been
 selected, the user may press ALT-F1
 to access a menu which allows them to
 QUIT or DISCONNECT.

 If for some reason, the connection
 to the network has been lost after
 a successful connection, ALT-F1 may
 fail to do anything, so the user
 should press ALT-END or CTRL-END
 to cause a FORCED DISCONNECT.
#*[1]

**[2][0]
 TERMINAL SETUP OPTIONS

 When you select SETUP in the ACCESS
 screen, a menu is shown:

   (D)ONE
   (S)ELECT DESIRED SETUP
   (C)REATE NEW SETUP
   (M)ODIFY SELECTED SETUP
   (R)EMOVE SELECTED SETUP

 The ENTRY DESCRIPTION or name of the
 SETUP configuration that is currently
 selected is shown in the box at the
 top of the screen.

 For more information about this
 screen, choose TERMINAL SETUP
 OPTIONS 2 from this menu or PAGE DOWN
 to the end of this section.

**[2][1]
 ENTRY DESCRIPTION

 This field is used to name the setup
 configuration.

 The name should be unique.  You may
 wish to include the baud speed and
 other information, so you will be
 able to recognize it in the TERMINAL
 SETUP directory.

 To cancel any changes to this field,
 press ESC before moving to another field.

**[2][2]
 USER ID/PASSWORD

 The USER ID and PASSWORD may be
 saved in SETUP.  If both entries are
 not saved here, you will be asked for
 each when you choose CONNECT.

 For your security, the password is
 shown on the screen as a sequence of *
 characters.  However, if both the USER
 ID and PASSWORD are saved on the SETUP
 screen, anyone can access the network
 from your computer, so we recommend
 that you leave one or the other blank.

 To change either entry, backspace the
 existing entry and type the new entry.
 To cancel any changes to this field,
 press ESC before moving to another
 field.

**[2][3]
 BAUD RATE

 The terminal currently supports two
 data transmission speeds, 2400 bps and
 9600 bps.  You must choose the speed
 that is appropriate for your modem.
 To do this, click on or select the
 baud speed button with the up and down
 arrows and press the ENTER key.

 A menu will appear.  Select the
 appropriate rate or press ESC to leave
 it as shown on the button.

**[2][4]
 COM PORT

 Enter the number of the serial port
 to which your modem is connected or
 the serial port number of your
 internal modem.

 Ports COM1 through COM4 are
 supported by this program.

 If your computer does not follow the
 standard base address and interrupt
 conventions, you should use the
 ADVANCED SETUP features to configure
 them for your port.

 To change an existing entry, you must
 backspace.  To cancel any changes to
 this field, press ESC once before
 moving to another field.

**[2][5]
 CONNECT MEANS

 Clicking the mouse pointer on or
 pressing the ENTER key while this
 button is highlighted will display
 the following menu:

    DIRECT DIAL
    DIAL X25 NETWORK
    NULL MODEM

 DIRECT DIAL dials directly into the
  Host computer.  This option is not
  available on all services.
 DIAL X25 NETWORK dials into a packet
  switching node and allows you to use
  the access phone numbers in the
  directory sent with your software.
 NULL MODEM is only used for in house
  network development.
**[2][6]
 PHONE #

 Enter the number for your modem speed
 and city from the phone directory
 provided with your software.

 If you have Call Waiting, consult your
 local telephone directory for how to
 disable it.  To create a pause for a
 second dial tone, enter one or two
 commas in the dialing sequence.  (With
 a HAYES 'AT' compatible modem, 1 comma
 will give you a 1 second delay.)

 Enter the dialing sequence (up to 26
 characters) with or without hyphens.

 To cancel any changes to this field,
 press ESC before moving to another
 field.
**[2][7]
 DIALING METHOD

 Clicking the mouse pointer on or
 pressing the ENTER key while this

**[2][A]
 HARDWARE FLOW CONTROL

 Clicking the mouse pointer on or
 Pressing the ENTER key while this
 button is highlighted will toggle the
 hardware flow control method between
 ON and OFF.

 Flow control prevents the terminal from
 writing to the modem faster than it can
 transmit.  Hardware flow control ON
 should be used for baud rates of 9600
 and up.  Hardware Flow Control should
 be OFF for most 2400 bps modems.
**[2][B]
 PORT BASE ADDRESS

 For most PC compatibles, the port
 BASE ADDRESS is properly setup for the
 COM PORT you have entered and should
 not need to be changed.

 Clicking the mouse pointer on or
 pressing the ENTER key while this
 button is highlighted will show a menu
 of address choices.

 If the required address is not shown,
 choose the USER option and enter the
 required HEXIDECIMAL address.
**[2][C]
 PORT INTERRUPT

 For most PC compatibles, the port
 INTERRUPT is properly setup for the
 COM PORT you have entered and should
 not need to be changed.

 If you need to change the setup
 value, enter 4,3,2 or 5.

 To cancel any changes to this field,
 press ESC once before moving to another
 field.
**[2][D]
 MODEM INIT STRING

 Most 2400 bps modems require no entry.
 If you have problems connecting, when
 the MODEM INIT CMD is blank, enter a
 single '?' (question mark) for a menu
 of modems and their command strings.

 If your modem is not listed, consult
 your modem manual for the commands
 that will:  set DTR to normal, set
 carrier detect to normal, turn error
 correction off (including MNP and
 V.32), turn data compression off,
 turn hardware flow control off
 for 2400 bps and on for 9600 bps.

 To cancel changes to this field, press
 ESC before moving to another field.
**[2][E]

 pressing the ENTER key while this
 button is highlighted will show a
 menu of available X25 Networks.
 Consult your Access Phone Directory
 for the correct choice.
**[2][F]

 The X25 HOST, ID and X25 PASSWORD are
 preprogrammed into SETUP for you.  If,
 for any reason, these entries are
 changed, please call Customer Service
 for assistance.

 For your security, the X25 PASSWORD is
 shown on screen as a sequence of '*'
 characters.

 To cancel any changes to this field,
 press ESC once before moving to another
 field.

 shown a FILE SELECTOR from which
 to choose the file to send.
**[8][2]
 DOWNLOAD

 Wherever there is a DOWNLOAD button,
 you can transfer a file from the
 service to your computer.  The
 service will define a path and file
 name with the option for the user to
 say YES or NO.  If NO, a dialog box
 will appear for the user to define
 the filename and path.

 If the filename is found on the
 user's computer, they will be asked
 whether to overwrite it.  If there
 is not enough room on the drive
 defined by the filename, the
 download will fail and the user
 must select another drive.
