Appendix: Accessory DOS Programs
HIB Configure
If there is a requirement for an MCN system to be monitored and controlled from a remote PC, then the
system may be installed with a dial-up modem and a HIB-232 module that will provide an interface
between the PC and MCN system. For this to work, the HIB-232 must be programmed with specific
information to communicate with the modem. The HIB-232 Configuration program, HIBCNFG.exe, is
used to program this setup "AT" command string into the HIB-232 module for the dial-up modem. This
is normally run once when you set up the system. (If the HIB-232 and modem were shipped together
from the factory, then the HIB-232 programming is probably already complete.) Before the
HIBCNFG.EXE program can be used, , the DOS driver for the HIB-232 must be installed in the PC.
LonScrpt
The Engineered System Custom Configuration Programming tool, LONSCRPT.EXE, is used to
program replacement routers or EXB modules with address forwarding tables. Before the
LONSCRPT.EXE program can be used, the DOS driver for the MCN network interface must be
installed in the PC.
Installing DOS Drivers for HIB Configure and LonScrpt
During installation of the MCNRCD Windows program, the DOS drivers for the HIB module
(CTIHIB.SYS) and LonScrpt (PCLTDOS.SYS) will be placed under the MCNRCD working directory,
normally at:
C:\Program Files\CTI Products Inc\McnRcd Standard\DOS Utilities\Hib
Now the activation of these device drivers must be included in the CONFIG.NT file as follows:
1. Start the Notepad program ( Start …. All Programs …. Accessories …. Notepad ).
Open the CONFIG.NT file. The location of this file varies as shown in the table below:
Operating System File Location
Windows XP c:\windows\system32\config.nt
Windows 2000, NT c:\winnt\system32\config.nt
2. Add the following line for the HIB configure driver at the end of the CONFIG.NT file:
device=C:\Progra~1\CTIPro~1\McnRcd~1\dosuti~1\hib\ctihib.sys /p1
“P1” at the end of this line indicates serial Port 1 (COM1) will be used to connect to the HIB
module. If a different serial port is required, change this parameter to match the correct port
number.
3. Add the following line for the DOS Virtual-Mode Device Driver at the end of the
CONFIG.NT file:
device=%systemroot%\system32\pcltdos.sys /d1
“d1” at the end of this line indicates Device 1 (LON1) will be used as the Network Interface to
connect the PC to the MCN system. If a different Network Interface is required, change this
parameter to match the correct interface number. (Installing a PCLTA may have performed
this step already.)
4. Save this file and close the Notepad program.
