10) Printer Secondary (address) – This is usually 7, but check your
printer interface instructions to be sure.
11) Modem Type -- Set according to the following list:
(0) Mitey Mo, Hesmodem II
(1) 1650, Westridge, Total Telecommunications, Video 7
(2) Hayes compatibles (extended return code set and non-
verbose mode must be supported). C-NET waits for a
ring, sends ATA, then waits for a connect code --1
for 300 baud, 5 for 1200 baud, or 10 for 2400 baud.
“+++” and ATH are sent to hang up. If a dip switch
for DTR exists, set it for always on (true).
(3) Commodore 1670 (this modem does not support ATA while
the phone is ringing -- so must always be set to auto-
answer mode.)
(4) A Hayes compatible (type 2) modem with DTR (Data
Terminal Ready) control ability for fast hang-ups.
The RS-232 interface must also support the DTR pin
connection to the modem. If a dip switch for DTR
exists, set it for line signal (not always on). If a
dip switch exists on any modem for CD (carrier
detection), insure that it is set for line signal
(not always on).
(5) Swiftlink/Turbo232 Cartridge
12) Idle Baud Rate -- Baud rate at which the computer should
conduct conversation with the modem while the system is
waiting for a call. This means, the maximum baud rate of the
modem that you are using.
13) Default Text Color -- A color code (0 to 15) for color of all
system prompts and status displays. I would suggest
against using 0 (black) as a default text color.
14) Drive Secondary Address -- When writing to files, 1571’s tend to
write faster (when writing to the backside with the old bug-
filled ROM’s) with a secondary address of 1. Most other drives
don’t mind this 1. Lt. Kernel hard drives will not function
with a secondary address of 1, so you must change the 1 on this
line to a 2 if you are using the Lt. Kernel.
15) Network/Amaint Hour -- This is the time of day (in military
time, 0 is midnight, 12 is noon, etc.) that auto-maintenance
will occur. Auto-maintenance is described more fully in chapter
18.
16) 2400 Baud Fine Adj – Only necessary for modem types 0-4
16) Real-Time Clock –
17) System Hard Drive – 0=NONE, 1=CMD HD, 2=Lt. Kernel
18) Expansion RAM – 0=NONE, 1=1700, 2=1750
