Autolog s carrier command your modem cable must include a connection for DCD To use the f low command for hardware flow control your modem cable must include CTS and RTS connections and your modem must be configure to use these signals for flow control If you will be connecting to a device other than a modem such as another computer or a bar code scanner you should use a null modem cable that includes hardware flow control connections RTS and CTS for best results The most important part of setting up your modem is making sure that your modem passes all 8 bit characters transparently If at all possible you should disable any software flow control features so that characters such as XON XOFF and ENQ ACK are passed intact Make sure that the modem does not discard any characters This precaution will prevent frustration if you plan to use any error correcting file transfers Note that function keys may present a problem for some communication devices Not all modems or other devices can send multibyte sequences such as those generated by a function keypress fast enough for them to be detected by the remote system as a single multibyte 8 Windows sequence rather than a series of individual characters If function keys present a problem contact the equipment manufacturer to see if the problem can be resolved Autfix Changing Autolog s Defaults The Autfix program is used to set Autolog s defaults To run the Autfix pro
