DIFFERENT METHODS TO CONNECT DX-1S
MFC98 is capable to connect DX-1S in three different methods, which provide greater flexibility for
different system configuration and also make remote administration possible. The three modes are:
•
connect via MFC98 PC Interface Card
•
connect via Remote Interface Module (RIM-1S)
•
remote connect via modem.
2.7.1
CONNECT VIA MFC98 INTERFACE CARD
This is the simplest method and most cost-effective way in connecting MFC98 to DX-1S. After the
MFC98 PC plugged in an MFC98 PC Interface Card, it can connect directly to DX-1S.
2.7.2
CONNECT VIA REMOTE INTERFACE UNIT (RIM-1S)
This method do not require an MFC98 PC Interface Card, a PC is connecting to RIM via RS-232C serial
port (COM1 or COM2). Then RIM connects directly to DX-1S.
This method is suitable for a PC (e.g. Notebook computer) which cannot plug in an MFC98 PC Interface
Card.
2.7.3
CONNECT REMOTELY VIA MODEM
This method is connecting MFC98 to DX-1S using two modems and one RIM. MFC98 connects to a
standard modem at COM1 or COM2 and then dial to DX-1S. On the DX-1S side, DX-1S connects to RIM
and RIM connects to another standard modem to receive the call from MFC98.
This method is mainly for remote system administration.
2.7.4
OPERATION DIFFERENCE IN DIFFERENT MODE OF CONNECTION
Users are required to edit the SETUP.INI in MFC98 program directory for MFC98 to select the mode of
connection used. Please refer to section 4.8 CONSOLE CONFIGURATION FILE for detail description of
editing SETUP.INI file.
Besides the connecting procedure, the operation of MFC98 is independent of the method of connection. In
the following of this manual, discussions will base on the first connection method – Connect via MFC98
PC Interface Card. For details of connecting via RIM and modem, please refer to the RIM-1S manual.
