This READ.ME contains important supplements to your "WaveRunner Digital Modem Installation and Testing Instructions." Additional information and software updates may be obtained from the IBM Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board System via a modem by calling 1-919-517-0001. Information may also be obtained over the INTERNET by anonymous FTP to www.raleigh.ibm.com and accessing subdirectory pub/standards/waverun. INSTALLATION and TESTING: ========================= Installation Prerequisites: ---------------------------------- WaveRunner is designed to run in a Windows 3.1 environment with at least 4 MB of RAM and in a Windows for Work Groups 3.11 environment with at least 6 MB of RAM. 5 MB of available hard disk space is required. This release of the Windows version of WaveRunner Digital Modem will not operate in a Win-OS2 session. Updating the Reference Diskette: -------------------------------------------- If you are installing WaveRunner in a PS/2 Model P70, the Reference Diskette must be Version 1.04 or higher to successfully update from the Startup Option Diskette. Testing the WaveRunner Adapter for ISA: --------------------------------------------------------- If the NT1 Loopback Test Fails: ------------------------------------------- The following conditions may result in a failure of the NT1 Loopback Test: 1) The NT1 does not support the S&Q maintenance channel. Check the NT1 user manual. If the S&Q channel is not supported, this test cannot be run. 2) The ISDN cable is defective. Replace the cable and rerun the test. 3) The adapter is not correctly connected to the NT1. Check all the cable connections from the adapter to the NT1 and from the NT1 to the ISDN line. 4) The NT1 is not powered on. 5) The NT1 is not connected to an active ISDN line. Some NT1 models cannot perform S&Q loopbacks unless connected to an active line. 6) The NT1 is defective. NT1 error lights may indicate a problem. Check the NT1 user manual for troubleshooting information. 7) The ISDN line is not active. If all the above conditions have been eliminated, your adapter may need to be replaced. Test does not advance past "Performing Test 26": ------------------------------------------------------------------ When running diagnostics, if your computer screen does not advance past "Performing Test 26," the DMA switch setting (Switch Block S2) may not match the setting specified in the diagnostics setup. Make sure that the DMA channel specified in the diagnostics setup matches the DMA channel selected on the adapter. HELPFUL HINTS FOR SELECTED COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS: ============================================================ Configuring your Communications Application ----------------------------------------------------------------- Configure your communications application for a Hayes compatible modem or Mwave compatible modem. Also, configure the application to use the same COM Port for which WaveRunner is configured. PROCOMM PLUS For Windows ---------------------------------------------- To ensure proper application-to-application connections using ProComm, configure ProComm as follows: Default Baud Rate: 115200 bps Auto Baud Select : Off (NOT selected) Problems avoided with this setup: 1) Asynchronous communication devices cannot connect at speed greater than the UART (baud) speed. To connect at 64000, the UART must be configured for 64000 or greater. 115200 bps is the only choice in ProComm that allows V.120 to connect. 2) With ProComm Auto Baud Detect on, ProComm will only make connections at its pre-anticipated (exact) speeds of 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, or 57600 bps. If the line connects at 56000 or 64000, ProComm will not recognize the connect speed and disconnect the call. This problem can be avoided by turning Auto Baud Detect OFF in the Modem setup section of the advanced connection setup as described above. HyperACCESS For Windows ----------------------------------------- Answer Text: HyperACCESS 3.0 and HyperACCESS 3.1 are unable to detect 56000 & 64000 bps line speeds. You may get the first CONNECT message, then an "unable to determine baud rate" message or a DISCONNECT. Add the following lines to the section labeled "AdjustBaudRate3" in the script file ANSWER.HP: if equal(MiscInt2,56000) goto SetBaudAndSynch if equal(MiscInt2,64000) goto SetBaudAndSynch Updated answer text files are available on the PC Company Bulletin Board in the files "ANSWER30.HP and "ANSWER31.HP". Perform a search on "waverunner" to locate the files. User Defined Modem: Under the Hardware option, select the user-defined modem. Run modemdef from the ALT+R prompt to define the modem. The settings should be defined as follows: Call setup commands = ATE1V1Q0X3&C1&D2 Answer setup commands = ATE1V1Q0X3S0=1 Dial command = ATDT Hangup command = ATH0 Send answer setup commands even if CD high = NO Toggle DTR to hangup = Yes Use hdw handshaking flow control = YES The last setting is a must for error correction. See Appendix A User Defined Modem (page 277) of the HyperAcess 5 manual for more details. Trio DataFaxProgram for Windows: ------------------------------------------------- By default Trio will add the DataFax Server, DataFax Captive, and DataFax Faxoffice program icons to the startup group. This can become a nuisance if you do more modem functions than Fax. The user can elect not to place these icons in startup by unchecking the button "Modify WIN.INI". Class 2 Fax uses the COM port for transmissions. If the Fax server is in the STARTUP program group, it will configure the modem for fax. Other COM port applications will not have access to the modem until the FAX server is unloaded. The modem application must be running before using Class II FAX. To use COM port applications the FAX server must be unloaded and the Modem application reloaded. In the case of MCI FAX, most WaveRunner DSP resources are used by the FAX tasks and there will be no room for modem DSP tasks on the adapter until fax is unloaded. CrisNet ----------- CrisNet is a Real Estate application The ISDN.INI file is used by ISDN.EXE to run Comm Programs using WaveRunner. ISDN.EXE ensures that the correct drivers are loaded prior to execution. The following parameters must be specified. PORT=Program & Path of ISDN Port Manager MODEM=Program & Path of ISDN Modem application ISDN=Program & Path of TCP/IP ISDN Driver FAX=Program & Path of Data Fax Server (TRIO) Some of the names of the WaveRunner executable programs have been altered and appropriate changes must be made in the CrisNet control files. To use ISDN.EXE, add the desired ProgramName(ID) to ISDN.INI followed by "=", the type of WaveRunner application (MODEM, ISDN, or FAX), a comma, and then the Path and Program of the subject communication program. ISDN stands for TCP/IP.

Restart the workstation and Windows and perform the following steps to add the correct COM Port: Start LAN Distance Select Settings Select Ports Delete the incorrect COM Port Restart the workstation and Windows Start the WaveRunner Async-to-Sync Modem and the ISDN Port Monitor Start LAN Distance Select Settings Select Ports Add the correct COM Port Select Modem Assign the IBM Mwave WaveRunner Digital Modem Save the information Restart the workstation A message may be received indicating that not enough memory is available to load the applications. This can be caused by DOS device drivers and Windows device drivers being loaded into system memory. Review your DOS "config.sys" file and Windows Control Panel Drivers configuration to eliminate unnecessary drivers.
