- Appendix A GETTING STARTED
- *****************************************
-
-
- This chapter details the steps necessary to install the EZX-TALK
- system on your computer. Prior to this, you should have installed
- the computer equipment, and verified that it is operating properly.
-
- Please refer to your Computer Users Manual, and your modem manual.
-
-
- *** MAKING A SUBDIRECTORY FOR EZX-TALK
-
- The installation procedures here assume that your computer is
- equipped with a hard-disk capable of creating Sub-Directories.
-
- Sub-Directories are sections of the disk that are separated from
- other sections, allowing you to organize the information stored there
- more efficiently.
-
- You must choose a name for the directory. The most likely name is
- obviously EZX-TALK.
-
- At the DOS level (you will see C>) type MD \EZX-TALK. Unless an
- error message appears, the directory will be created.
-
- If an error message appears, the directory was probably already
- created, and you can proceed to the next step.
-
-
- *** COPYING FILES TO THE SUBDIRECTORY
-
- This section will explain how to copy the EZX-TALK files to the
- directory created in the last step.
-
- The computer has 2 or 3 disk drives with designations of Drive A:
- (Drive B:) and Drive C:. Drive C: will always be the hard disk and
- the others will be floppy disk drives. You will be copying from a
- floppy drive to the hard disk.
-
- Step 1. Put the EZX-TALK distribution diskette into the A: drive
- and close the door.
-
- Step 2. At the DOS level (C>) type CD \EZX-TALK.
-
- Step 3. Type COPY A:*.* C:
-
- The disk light on Drive A: will go on and you will see a message
- like:
-
- Copying EZXT.COM (EZXT-VLU.COM for Valueware(tm) version.)
- Copying EZXTINST.COM
- Copying EZX-TALK.CNF
- Copying EZX-TALK.KEY
- .
- .
- .
- etc., until all the files have been copied.
-
-
- The copy process has been completed. If no error messages resulted,
- all the EZX-TALK files have been placed on your EZX-TALK
- SubDirectory.
-
- If an error message did appear, likely causes are:
-
- ∙ Drive A: door not closed.
- ∙ Diskette is blank or the wrong one.
- ∙ Diskette drive is defective.
- ∙ Diskette is defective or damaged.
-
- Correct the problem and try again.
-
-

- Appendix B EZX-TALK CONFIGURATION
- *****************************************
-
-
- The EZX-TALK program comes to ready to run, but first it needs to
- know the type of equipment it is running on and other important
- parameters.
-
- Make sure that the computer is in the EZX-TALK subdirectory.
-
- At the DOS level, type EZXTINST. This will start the configuration
- program.
-
- Press [Enter] to start the question and answer process.
-
-
- EZX-TALK needs to know the following information. Please fill in the
- appropriate spaces before answering the questions.
-
- If you do not know an answer to a question, please ask the Technical
- Resource Person at your computer store to help you, refer to your
- modem manual, or call EZX.
-
- What type of Monitor do you have:______________________
- (Choices are Monochrome or Color*)
-
- What Port is the Modem Connected to**:________________
- (Choices are 1 or 2)
-
- Is the top speed of your modem 1200 or 2400 Baud? _____
-
- If your modem is not Hayes compatible, what is the modem
- initialization string?*** _____________________________
-
- Does your modem provide for Carrier Detect Signal Checking? _________
-
- * Machines equipped with a color graphics card and composite monitors
- should be specified as Monochrome to get the best text. Compaq
- Portables should also be specified as monochrome.
-
- ** PORT Refers to the serial communications plug at the back of the
- computer. These are designated COM 1 and COM 2. As a rule, if you
- have both COM 1 and COM 2 installed on your computer, install the
- modem into COM1.
-
- *** Special Initialization Strings
-
- If you answer No to question 5 below, you will be prompted to input a
- specific initialization code string for your mode. We have found that
- although most modems say thay are "Hayes" compatible, the have some
- special requirements. So, use the recommended initailization string
- found in you modem's user manual. At typical initialization string
- for a EasyData(tm) 2400 modem looks like this:
-
- ATQ0X4V0E1M1 (use numeric result codes)
-
- Where the "standard Hayes" initialization string looks like:
-
- ATQV0L1 Again, check your modem manual!
-
- When the configuration program starts, it will ask you questions
- similar to questions below. You must respond with the correct
- choices or EZX-TALK will not operate properly. Below are examples of
- the configuration program prompts and the correct responses.
-
- 1. Will EZX-TALK run on a [C]olor or [M]onochrome monitor?
- (Correct responses are C or M )
-
- 2. Are you running on an IBM AT or Compatible?
- (Correct responses are Y or N )
-
- 3. What port is the modem in?
- (Correct responses are 1 or 2 corresponding to COM 1 or COM 2)
-
- 4. Do you have a [1]200 or [2]400 baud modem?
- (Correct responses are 1 or 2 )
-
- 5. Is it a Hayes compatible modem [Yes] [No]
- (must be 100% compatible to say Yes)
-
- 6. You will be asked if you want DTR signal checking. If it doesn't work
- one way, try the other. (aka Carrier Detect)
-
- 7. You will then be prompted for colors if you answered C to #1.
-
- After you have answered the prompts, the program will begin to write
- the configuration file EZX-TALK.CNF onto your disk. If you noticed
- that one of your responses was incorrect, you may run the EZXTINST
- program again. The installation process is complete. The file
- EZXTALK.CNF must reside on the same drive and subdirectory as the
- EZX-TALK program. A typical EZX-TALK.CNF file follows. It may be
- edited with a simple text editor like DOS's EDLIN, or even EZX-WRITE.
-
- MO=CO7146 (Color codes)
- PN=1 (Serial Port Number 1 or 2)
- ST=1 (Stop bits)
- DA=8 (Startup data bits)
- PA=N (Startup parity)
- BA=1200 (Startup baud rate)
- WA=430 (System timing factor - Do not change!)
- PR=ATDT (Dial string)
- PO=| (Carriage return character)
- MI=ATQV0L1 (Modem initialization string. These are the Hayes values.)
- DT=45 (Delay time for redial after no carrier or busy)
- CD=YES (Carrier detect signal checking.)
-
- If for any reason the EZX-TALK.CNF file is erased or moved, run the
- configuration program again.
-
-
-
