The system with which you communicate G               is called the remote system. Your system uses one or more C               modems to communicate with a remote system over phone                lines.  F               You can, for example, use VAX PAC to get timely businessG               information from such sources as Dow Jones News/Retrieval E               Service, The SOURCE, or CompuServe. Or, you may want to E               communicate with one of your own remote branch offices. A               In this case, you can use VAX PAC to do work on the A               remote system from the system in your office, or to E               transfer files back and forth. You can communicate with E               any remote system to which you have access that has the G               industry-standard asynchronous RS-232C, RS-422, or RS-423                interfaces.   @               VAX PAC is not, however, a communications network.A               If there are several computers at one site, Digital 1               recommends you use a DECnet system.            Intended Audience   C               This manual is intended for system managers and those E               responsible for setting up and maintaining systems that F               communicate with remote databases.

Backing up thenH               system disk is a standard precaution before installing anyH               VMS layered product. If you are unsure of how to back up aH               system disk, see your VMS system management documentation.  3         1.2.4 Installing in VAXcluster Environmentsc  F               If you have previously installed VAX PAC in a VAXclusterG               environment, you should perform the following steps priorcD               to installing VAX PAC V1.3 if you want to preserve any8               definitions on each member of the cluster.  G               1. Log in to the system manager's account for each systemUR                  in the VAXcluster and locate the file SYS$SYSTEM:COMM$SYSTEM.DAT.  1               2. Rename the file COMM$SYSTEM.DAT:   B                  $ RENAME/LOG SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE[COMM$SYSTEM.DATN                  _To:  SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]COMM$SYSTEM.DAT_'f$getsyi(nodename")  H                  In the above command, 'f$getsyi(nodename") is evaluatedH                  to the actual node name for the system to which you are"                  currently logged.  E               3. You can examine the data in this file later by usingaG                  the logical name COMM$SYSTEM to point to a system filee4                  for a particular node.

This cable must be connected to B               the proper port on your system. Check that the cableA               connecting your modem and system is the proper one.e@               Digital recommends that you use a Digital BC22E orC               BCC04 cable. Your modem installation guide might list                alternatives.   A               Figure 1-1 shows a typical standalone modem and itse@               connections, including the power outlet, telephone=               handset, wall outlet connections, and terminal.           H                                             Installation Procedures 1-19 t  P              E               These connections might differ depending on the type ofeC               modem you are using.

On a system with VAX PAC,rG                  this can interfere with the system's ability to detectr6                  the line speed for the incoming call.  F                  On a VAX PAC system, the modem must be set up so thisF                  feature is disabled. That is, the modem must not sendE                  a message to the system when it receives an incoming                   call.  #               o  Enable autoanswer.   E                  If you allow incoming calls to your system, you must 9                  set up your modem to support autoanswer.t  %               o  Disable the speaker.   D                  Some modems have loudspeakers for monitoring calls.B                  Unlike terminal operation, with VAX PAC the modemB                  is not usually located near the person making theC                  connection. In this case, there is little value in .                  enabling the modem's speaker.  <         C.1.2 Modem Control Signals on the RS-232C Connector  E               In general, VAX PAC requires that modems conform to the (               EIA RS-232C specification.  F               Modems intended for operation with a terminal usually doG               not have the following signals correctly set for use with                VAX PAC:           C-2 Modem Setup     e            F               o  DTR-VAX PAC uses Data Terminal Ready (DTR) to controlG                  the modem. DTR is normally set to ON. VAX PAC switches G                  DTR to OFF for 5 seconds in order to end a connection.   F                  Some modems are initially set up to operate as if DTRE                  were set to ON. This is incorrect for operation withy                  VAX PAC.t  F                  VAX PAC requires that the modem be set up so that theF                  modem returns to its initial state when DTR goes fromH                  ON to OFF. Otherwise, VAX PAC will be unable to hang upH                  the phone, and you will continue to incur phone charges2                  after terminating the connection.                                                                H                                                          Modem Setup C-3 -  s            8               o  DCD-Data Carrier Detect (RS-232C pin 8)  H                  VAX PAC uses Data Carrier Detect (DCD) to determine theG                  state of the remote connection. When DCD is set to ON,oF                  VAX PAC operates as if it were successfully connectedF                  to a remote system. When DCD goes from ON to OFF, VAX=                  PAC operates as if the connection were lost.   C                  Some modems initially are set up so that the modemr?                  always sends the ON condition for DCD. This isn6                  incorrect for operation with VAX PAC.  F                  VAX PAC requires that the modem be set up so that theH                  modem sets DCD to ON only when data carrier is present.  -         C.2 Modem-Specific Setup RequirementsA  F               The following sections contain information on setting up3               specific modems for use with VAX PAC.r  +         C.2.1 Setup for Digital DFA01 Modem   B               The factory-installed settings for the Digital DFA01F               modems are correct for operation with VAX PAC.

There are two commandCE               modes: the Digital Modem Command Language (DMCL) or the B               AT command processor, which is, as much as possible,C               compatible with the HAYES AT command set found in the F               Hayes Smart Modem 2400. This section deals only with theF               DMCL command mode.

Codes used toC               represent control characters are always in uppercase.,  A               Sometimes you might need to send control characters D               that cannot be represented by an alphabetic character.C               In this case, you will have to use the numeric codes.dG               These are the octal values and not the decimal values fordE               the control character. (Octal is a number that is basedmD               on 8 rather than on 10.) Octal codes are often used to>               represent characters in the ASCII character set.  C               VAX PAC uses the following codes to represent controlw               characters.m  6               o  ^A-^Z: character codes 1-26 (decimal)  C               o  ^001-^377 (octal): character codes 1-255 (decimal)i  F               If you need to use the control character NUL, you shouldC               use the VAX PAC command ^a.

This means that any messageuD               sent by the modem while dialing a remote system is not               returned._  D               Because of this limitation, the following restrictions1               apply when using DMF32 controllers:n  C               o  While in Expert Mode dialing, VAX PAC will displaymF                  only the characters that you enter from the keyboard.H                  Because the DMF32 does not display the modem responses,H                  you will not see the messages from the modem documented-                  in your modem documentation.   E                  Also, note that the connection is set for local echo D                  and automatic newline until the connection has been                  established.   D               o  The DTE_DF03, DTE_DF112, and DMCL dial modules relyE                  on messages from the modem to determine a successful E                  connection.
