CHAPTER 3: Hardware Installation
NOTES
1) To install the Windows UCTP menu, you need to install MPSWIN.
2) Unless you plan to work extensively in both the DOS and Windows
environments, you don’t need to do both the DOS and Windows
installations; just install the software written for the environment you use
most.

?
Other software utilities besides MPSDOS, MPSWIN, and the UCTP are
included with the Multiport Spooler VIII. These enable you to send a break
signal to a parallel port, change the speed of the serial port of a serially
connected computer to up to 38,400 bps, change the configuration of the
MPS-VIII if you have added memory to it, etc. These utilities are listed in
Appendix C
.
It is not essential for you to determine right now whether you need some or
all of these utilities. If you prefer, you can simply install them later by using
MPSSETUP.
3.7 Using the MPSSETUP Program
You must use the MPSSETUP program if you want to:
• Configure the Multiport Spooler VIII
• Use MPSDOS or the UCTP
• Copy the other software utilities
NOTE
To install MPSWIN (including the UCTP), refer to
Chapter 6
.
