Setting up Using Windows 3.1 (Direct Dial-Up connection)
- Click on PROGRAM MANAGER, then the ACCESSORIES icon.
- From the ACCESSORIES window, click on TERMINAL.
- From the TERMINAL window, click on SETTINGS, then select COMMUNICATIONS from the drop-down menu.
- If necessary, make the following changes to the settings:
| Baud Rate | depends on the speed of your modem |
| Data Bits | 8 |
| Stop bits | 1 |
| Parity | None |
| Flow Control | Xon/Xoff |
| Connector | depends on which comport the modem resides |
After you have made these changes, click OK.
- Under SETTINGS, click on PHONE NUMBER. Enter 877-833-2537 and click OK. If you have call waiting on your telephone line, you should disable it to avoid any potential connection problems. In most cases, you should preface the telephone number with "72," (i.e., "72,877-833-2537"). You should check with your telephone service provider to see which prefix they require.
- Click on SETTINGS, then TERMINAL EMULATION. Make sure that "DEC VT-100 (ANSI)" has been selected. Click OK.
- Go to the FILE menu, and click on SAVE. When asked for a name to save the file under, enter "Dixie.trm" and click OK.
- From the TERMINAL window, click on PHONE, then DIAL. Your modem should now be dialing the "Dixie Information Network". When your computer connects to Dixie Information Network, the TERMINAL window will reappear. Press [ENTER] several times to get the username prompt.
- At the "username:" prompt, type your username and press [ENTER].
- At the "password:" prompt, type your password and press [ENTER]. Since passwords are for security, you will not see it appear on the screen. This is normal. If you make a mistake an "authorization violation failure" message will appear. Try again by pressing [ENTER] and re-typing your username and password.
Dixie Information Network users will automatically be logged off if there is no keyboard activity for 2 minutes. If you were in the process of entering an order and are subsequently logged off, your order is automatically suspended. Please make note of your order number as soon as it is displayed for easy access in case of automatic log off.
