To use IBM communications, you or the application must select it first. See
section 10.1.5 for details of selecting IBM communications via the UTIL
function; see Part 3 for details of selecting IBM communications from an
application.
If you are using an application written especially for the MP2500, it should
select and configure communications automatically. In this case, you won't
be required to intervene.
However, an application might present a menu for you to select from. In this
case, once you've selected the mode you require, it will configure
communications without further action.
If you want to use MP2500 communications from MS-DOS or with an
application that doesn't provide its own communications handling, you must
configure communications first, by using the UTIL utility.
To do this, select MS-DOS command mode and type:
C:\UTIL E E
E E
then select the appropriate communications menu option. This displays the
current configuration for the port. Use the I and J keys to move the
highlight to the options you want to alter, then use G and H to adjust the
displayed value as required.
When you have finished, press E to accept the settings and return to
the previous menu. Press C to return to MS-DOS command mode with the
MP2500 communications package installed and configured as you have
requested.
If you have installed one of the more complex optional protocols, an extra
menu screen will be displayed for you to configure. Full details will be
supplied with the protocol.
If you simply want to examine the configuration, press C without using the
cursor keys.
The individual options will now be described, after a brief overview of
handshaking and protocols. For details of the operation of UTIL, refer to
Chapter 10.
