SERNET. ParNet is easy to start up - SerNet is a little more complex. To start SerNet up, click on Sernet. This will open a shell window for output of DNet's subtasks, and DNet's own window should open up, offering a menu selection of Quit, SendBreak and Start DNet, via the right mouse button. SendBreak clears the serial line, for setting up the connection, and Start DNet kicks the whole thing off. If DNet connects to the remote machine, IE if Start is selected at both ends, a chat window entitled 'FTerm' will open up, for typed messages between machines. SerNet will then be mounted, as the device SNET: A shell is used as opposed to a normal CON: redirection, so new chat windows and DNET control commands can be entered. FTerms can be fired up or closed at any point once DNet is running, and will go alongside SerNet's operation. To shut down DNet, either enter the command QuitDNet in the shell, or use Status to list all processes on the system, and breaking DNet's process number with every signal. For more information on the Shell and AmigaDOS, consult your machine's AmigaDOS manuals. All serial preferences for the various KickStarts on this CD have been set at the fastest reliable configuration for DNet - 19200 baud, no parity, Handshaking none, 8 data bits read/write and 1 start/stop bit. Set the remote machine's serial preferences to match this to achieve the correct DNet setup. To sum up Sernet, click on the icon Sernet on both machines, place the mouse in the DNET window and click on the right button. Go up to the menu on the left and select send break, then select Start DNet. It is recommended that you do this on the master machine, (not the CD32). Several windows will open and you can close this when the set up is complete. Then it is best to mount the remote device with the 'MountRemote' icon provided. This gives you the device SNET: or Network: and you can then procceed as per Parnet. SID (Directory Utility) We have included the evaluation version of SID2 on the CD and configured SER and PAR buttons for you to call up the SNET: and NET: devices AFTER setting either Sernet or Parnet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALSO AVAILABLE FROM WEIRD SCIENCE MULTIMEDIA TOOLKIT RRP. 19.95 Multimedia Toolkit is a data CDRom filled to the brim with useful items to enable you to join the multimedia revolution with your own computer.
