4.6 ACCESSING THE RFL 9660
There are three basic methods you can use to access the RFL 9660, remotely using the Windows Terminal
Emulator, remotely using a non-Windows terminal emulator program, and locally through direct connection to
the RFL 9660's LOCAL connector.
4.6.1 REMOTE ACCESS USING THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS TERMINAL
EMULATOR
To remotely access the RFL 9660 using the Microsoft Windows Terminal Emulator, use the following procedure:
1. Make sure Microsoft Windows is running on your PC. If it isn't, either call it up from the DOS Shell or
type in "win" at the "C>" prompt and press the [ENTER] key.
This will start Microsoft Windows. When Windows is ready, the "Program Manager"
window will appear on the screen.
2. Double-click on the "Switch Applications" icon in the "Program Manager" window to open the "Switch
Applications" window.
The "Switch Applications" window will appear on the screen.
3. Double-click on the "Terminal" icon in the "Switch Applications" window to call up the terminal
emulator.
The "Terminal Emulator" window will appear on the screen.
4. Click on the "File" menu name, and then click on "Open" in the menu that appears.
The "File Open" dialog box will appear, with the cursor flashing in the "File Name" box.
"*.TRM" will appear in the "File Name" box, and a list of ".TRM" files will appear directly
below it.
5. Move the cursor to the file name SWITCH.TRM, and click on it, then click on the "OK" command
button.
This will open the SWITCH.TRM file. All the settings you previously placed in this file
will be used to set the Windows Terminal Emulator to communicate with the RFL 9660.
The "File Open" dialog box will disappear, and the "SWITCH.TRM" file name will appear
at the top of the "Terminal Emulator" window.
6. Click on the "Phone" menu name, and then click on "Dial" in the menu that appears.
A window will appear, stating that the modem is calling the number you stored for the
RFL 9660. You should be able to hear your modem start to operate.
The Terminal Emulator program gives your modem 30 seconds to make a connection
with the RFL 9660. If a connection is made, the dialing window will disappear.
If the super-user has enabled password protection, go to step 7. If passwords are not
being used, go to step 9.
