9.2.6 Running the WINMCSI Workstation Software
WINMCSI has a workstation portion of the software that LAN users run and use to log onto the
communications server prior to running datacomm software on their client PCs. The following steps guide you
through this process.
For Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 users:
1a. To start WINMCSI, double-click on the ComMap icon in your Program Manager in Windows. The ComMap
for Windows window appears.
1b. Go to step 2.
For Windows95 users:
1a. To start WINMCSI, click on Start.
1b. Click on Programs.
1c. Click on MultiTech MCSI.
1d. Click on ComMap.
For Window 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or Windows95 users:
2. The ComMap for Windows window appears.
3. To setup ComMap, click on the Setup menu.
Click on the Network Type command. The Network Type dialog box appears. Your current network type
is highlighted. You can change the network type by clicking on the option button appropriate for your
network. Click on OK when finished. You must restart Windows if you change this setting.
Note: Do not change the network type unless you have changed the network. Also, make sure that your
SYSTEM.INI file contains the device drivers specific to the selected network type.
Click on the Connect Timer command. The MCSI Connect Timer dialog box appears. The default value
of the connect timer is shown in the Enter Connect Timer Value field. To change the value of the connect
timer, type in a different value. Click on OK when finished.
Click on the Baud Change command. The ComMap Baud Change message appears. If baud change by
an application is permitted, then this command is checked in the Setup Menu. If baud change is
unchecked in the Setup Menu, then an application cannot change the baud rate (or other port
parameters). Answer the message as appropriate.
Click on the Default Login command. The Default Login Parameters dialog box appears. Use this dialog
box to select a specific MultiRouter to which you want to log into next time Windows is loaded. Click on
an MultiRouter from the Available Servers box. If there are no servers in the Available Servers box, then
click on the Search button. Type in a User Name and Password (optional) in their respective fields. Click
on OK when finished.
ComMap saves these login parameters in your COMMCSI.INI file.
Note: You cannot directly edit the COMMCSI.INI file using a text editor because the password field is
encrypted.
