16

Part B Data transmission Connect COM Port of Modem 1 to COM1 port of first computer. Connect COM Port of Modem 2 to COM1 port of second computer. Using HyperTerminal Install hyper terminal from Win98 CD. The program that starts HyperTerminal is HYPERTRM.EXE. It is located under Start Menu: Programs; Accessories: Hyperterminal. The HYPERTRM.EXE icon looks like a computer connected to a modem. Double-click on the icon to start the modem program. The first time you start HYPERTRM.EXE, you will be prompted for country code and area code. You do not have to fill in these codes. To avoid problems with the default value for the area code, uncheck the "Use country code and area code" box at the bottom of the dialog window. Choose OK to proceed and you will not encounter this screen again. HyperTerminal will then prompt you for information on the connection you would like to establish. 1. On the first screen, enter a name for your connection, and choose an icon to represent it. These can be anything 2. On the second screen, enter the phone number for your new connection 3. The third screen allows you to connect to the phone number you have chosen, but it also has a host of other options. If you click on the Modify button, you can turn on the "redial" option. You can also click on the Dialing Properties button to add a digit to the number to dial out from your office, or to charge the call on a dialing card. After you are done setting these options, click on the Dial button. 4. Once you are connected to your site (and everything works properly), go to the File menu and choose "save." This saves your settings for the current phone number permanently to your hard drive. In general, only use HYPERTRM.EXE when you want to add a new phone number. If you save your locations after using HYPERTRM.EXE (as in step #4), your HyperTerminal directory will store unique icons for these different locations. Each unique setting you create will become a new icon specific to that new setting. To access a saved location, double-click on its icon instead of using the Hyperterm program. This will start the program with the correct settings already loaded.

The Button Bar

Like many Windows applications, HyperTerminal has a button bar on the top of its screen that incorporates the most often-used features of the program. The functions of these buttons are as follows:

New: Allows you to enter to a different phone number / group of settings. This process follows steps #1-#4 in the previous section. Open: Allows you to open a different phone number / group of settings that you have saved previously. Connect: If you are not already connected, this dials the current phone number. 17

Disconnect: Hangs up a connection. Send: Sends a file from your local computer to the remote computer to which you are connected. If you are not sure where the file is you wish to send, click on the Browse button. You may also want to check to see if the protocol menu item is set to Zmodem (the transfer option most commonly used at CCSF). Receive: Once a file has been sent from the remote computer, click on this button to start receiving it on your local computer. Again, check to make sure the protocol matches the one used to send the file (typically Zmodem). Properties: Allows you to change the various configuration options for the session.

File Transfer Procedure

Depending on whether you will be uploading or downloading, the procedure for using ZModem or Kermit to transfer files will be different. In either case, however, you will need to establish a connection to fog with your modem and Hyperterminal software. You will also need to have the files that you want to transfer saved either in your home directory on fog (ready for downloading) or on your PC (ready for uploading).

When transfering files between your PC and fog, you will need to invoke the ZModem or Kermit command at the command prompt on fog. You must be at a prompt before taking the following steps. To return to the menu, type exit. For additional information about using your account, consult Unix: Getting Started.

Uploading from your PC

Uploading with Zmodem
1. Type rz at the $ prompt on fog to invoke the Receive Zmodem program. ZModem should respond with the message: "rz ready. To begin transfer, type "sz file. . ." to your modem program." 2. Click on the Send File button in the button bar or go to the Transfer menu and go to the Send File option. This will bring up a window with two selection areas in it. 3. You may either type in the name of the file you wish to upload or click on the Browse button to find the file on your machine. Make sure the lower area says "Zmodem". 4. Click on the Send button at the bottom of that window. Hyperterminal will then bring up another window which tells about the status of the current upload.

Uploading with Kermit

1. Type kermit at the $ prompt on fog to invoke the Kermit program. When Kermit is running, your prompt will look like this: C-Kermit> 2. At the Kermit prompt, if you will be transferring a text file, type set file type text. If you will be transferring a binary file, set file type binary. A text file is any file containing only characters from the basic ascii character set; a binary file is anything else. Examples of binary files include programs, graphics, and word processing documents. Press Enter after whichever of these commands. 3. Type receive, and press Enter. Kermit should respond with the message: Return to your local Kermit and give a SEND command. KERMIT READY TO RECEIVE... 18

4. Click on the Send File button or go to the Transfer menu and choose the Send File option. This brings up a window containing a line for the folder to be downloaded into and a selection box for the receiving protocol. 5. Type in the folder you want the file to be downloaded into or click on the browse button to choose one. Then choose Kermit for the Protocol and click on the Send button at the bottom of the window. 6. The file transfer should begin. HyperTerminal will open a window that reports details about the transfer and informs you when it is finished.

Downloading to your PC
Downloading with ZModem
1. Type sz -e at the $ prompt on fog to invoke the send ZModem program. The "-e option tells the ZModem program to "escape all control characters", which is absolutely necessary for a reliable file transfer. 2. Type another space followed by the name of the file you want to download. If the file does not reside in your present working directory, you will need to provide an absolute path name. Remember that Unix is case sensitive. For example: sz -e filename 3. Press Enter. The file transfer should begin automatically. HyperTerminal will open a window that reports details about the transfer and informs you when it is finished.

Downloading with Kermit

1. Type kermit at the $ prompt on fog to invoke the Kermit program. When Kermit is running, your prompt will look like this: C-Kermit> 2. At the Kermit prompt, if you will be transferring a text file, type set file type text. If you will be transferring a binary file, set file type binary. Press Enter after whichever of these commands. 3. Type send, a space, and the name of the file you want to download: send filename. Kermit should respond with the message: Return to your local Kermit and give a RECEIVE command. KERMIT READY TO SEND... 4. Click on the Receive File button or go to the Transfer menu and choose the Receive File option. This brings up a window containing a line for the folder to be downloaded into and a selection box for the receiving protocol. 5. Type in the folder you want the file to be downloaded into or click on the browse button to choose one. Then choose Kermit in the Use receiving protocol and click on the Receive button at the bottom of the window. 6. The file transfer should begin. HyperTerminal will open a window that reports details about the transfer and informs you when it is finished.
