Modem Connection Setup

Direct Connection Setup

The setup described in this section applies only to Windows 95.
Use the built-in Dial-Up Networking feature to define the dial-up connection.
Use the following dial-up connection parameters (Properties):
In the Main window, enter the telephone number of the MCU's Modem,
•
and the Operator's modem type.
In the Server Type window, select the PPP: Windows 95, Windows NT
•
and check only the Enter the Network and the TCP/IP options.
In the TCP/IP definitions window, enter only the Operator's IP address.
•
Select the Server Assigned Name server address (you don't need to
specify the MCU IP address). Check the two options at the bottom (IP
compression and Use default gateway).
In order to activate the connection, double-click the Dial-Up-Networking
icon created previously, enter the User name, Password and the Phone
number, and then select Connect. As soon as the connection is established,
the MGC Manager software can run and communicate with the MCU.
Use the built-in Dial-Up Networking feature to define the dial-up connection
(as in modem connection setup).
To set a direct connection, you need to install a Null Modem driver.
To install the Null Modem driver, follow the instructions described in the
following Web site: http://www.kevin-wells.com/net/
This site contains the following information (with some modifications) from
May 14, 1997. It is recommended to check the page again for updates and
changes.
1. Download the file mdmcbx.inf, which is needed for all direct
connections. There are different versions listed on the Web page. If
Windows 95 will not install the above file, try an earlier version. This
problem may occur especially with non-US versions of Windows 95.
