272 Macintosh
User's
Handbook
The
MacTerminal emulator may be used with the
Mac
under many configurations. These
do
not necessarily involve
the use
of
the modem
or
the telephone system.
If
you are
connecting the
Mac
to
another
data
source via direct cable
connection, select Another Computer under the Connection
item.
If
you use a modem, allow the setting to remain Modem.
Se~ecting
Another Computer will cause the Phone menu to be
dimmed as it
is
not needed under this application.
Since
both
the
Phone
Port,
~
,
and
the
Printer
Port,
IP,I
, on the Mac's back panel use the standard RS-232
specification, they are both equipped
to
handle the modem. To
direct the Mac's attention
to
the printer port for the modem
connection, select
~
from the Connection Point option.
At the time
of
this writing, the use
of
the printer
port
was
not
yet implemented into the software. Although
we
cannot
comment from direct experience, Apple Corp. has recom-
mended
that
you refrain from using the printer port for
communications. It
is
not designed for extensive, bi-directional
data
transfer and will not function
at
data
rates exceeding
1200
baud.
When all Communications settings are correct, select
OK
from the window. Select Cancel to negate the new settings.
FILE TRANSFER
Selecting File Transfer from the Settings window will
cause the window, shown in figure 8.8,
to
appear. Through this
window the
operator
may set the parameters
of
the file transfer
conditions.
