/baudrate
Valid options are /9600, /14400, /19200, /38400. This command sets the baud
rate of the PC’s COM port. This command is optional, and if not specified,
MCNRCD uses a default baud rate of 38400.
If the HIB is connected directly to the PC COM port, the /baudrate specified
must match the baud rate setting on the HIB’s OPTION A switches 1, 2, and 3.
NOTE: When selecting a baud rate, use the highest baud rate supported by the
COM port, preferably 38400. However, if your COM port uses a 16450 or 8250
type UART (instead of the 16550), then you may have problems running at 38400.
If so, use either 14400 or 9600 for the data rate.
7.8.1 Command Line Examples
To start the MCN Remote Comparator Display software, you must be
in the proper directory:
C:> CD CTI
E
7.8.1.1 Overriding the dialing string
Command line: MCNRCD /NODIAL
All programmed dialing strings are ignored during this MCNRCD session.
7.8.1.2 Specifying a different baud rate
Command line: MCNRCD /19200
MCNRCD will initialize the PC’s COM port to 19200 baud instead of the default
baud rate of 38400.
7.8.1.3 Setting up for Leased Line operation
Command line: MCNRCD /9600 /LL
The HIB and the PC are connected through leased line modems that are
communicating at 9600 baud. The HIB’s OPTION A, switch 5 must be in the UP
position for leased line operation.
7.8.1.4 Selecting an Error Log file size of 5 MB
Command line:....MCNRCD /E5
MCNRCD will allow up to a 5 MB file size for logging Errors to MCNERR.LOG.
The program will also check to see that there is enough free disk space available
to hold a file of this size. If there is not enough disk room, a message box will
appear giving the status of how MCNRCD will continue.
7.9 Running MCNRCD Program Automatically From Batch Files
Once you have determined the proper command line options to use, you can put
them in a batch file to make start-up easier. You may also put them in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the MCN Remote Comparator Display program
