This section provides further information about the MC 218’s Comms
program. Comms provides terminal emulation and file transfer to other
computers. You can use it to:
• Connect the MC 218 directly to another computer.
• Connect the MC 218 via a modem to access electronic mail systems and
bulletin boards.
Note! You can also transfer files between the MC 218 and a PC using
Ericsson EPOC Connect and the PC docking cable. This allows file
conversion between PC and MC 218 formats. If you do not already have
Ericsson EPOC Connect, contact your nearest Ericsson distributor.
Comms is the MC 218’s communications and terminal emulation program.
You can use it to connect to remote computers, control modems and use your
MC 218 as a remote terminal when connected to a host computer.
The program has two views:
• The Terminal emulation screen, where you connect to and communicate
with remote machines. This is the screen you see when you first start
Comms.
• The Script editor, where you create scripts to automate parts of
communications, e.g. logging on to a remote host.
This User’s Manual provides an introduction first to the Terminal emulation
screen and its features.
Comms provides terminal emulation and file transfer to other computers.
To start Comms:
1. Make sure that the Remote link on the MC 218 is switched off. To do this,
select Remote link on the To ols menu in the Desktop screen and ensure
Off is displayed in the Link line.
2. Tap the Extras bar icon, then tap the Comms program icon.
When Comms starts, you will see the Terminal emulation screen, and an
Online information message will appear.
Comms communicates with other machines through either the serial or
infrared port at the back of the machine. The message in the status bar will
read Online or Offline depending on whether or not a port is active at any
given time.
