9.2.2 MCSI Software Command Line Operation
MCSI command line parameters allow you to operate MCSI as an INT14 software redirector, make MCSI
Novell NASI compatible, turn on the pop up Inbound Outbound Menu, select Inbound as default connection
type, unload MCSI from memory, and enable the command interpreter option for application programs that
make use of this option.
1. Login to your network.
2. Your LAN’s communications link between the client PC and the MultiRouter was established by logging
onto the LAN.
3. Change to the subdirectory containing the MCSI files.
4. Type MCSIWSN ? at the DOS prompt and press Enter. The following appears:
When one or more parameters are typed following the MCSIWSN command, a space must be used to
separate each parameter (e.g., MCSIWSN -I -P -N5). The parameters can be entered in any order.
-U MCSIWSN can be unloaded by changing to the directory containing the MCSI files and typing MCSIWSN -
U (then pressing Enter).
-F This parameter searches for active modem servers.
-C This parameter enables the MCSI command interpreter option. An additional 5K of memory is used by
MCSIWSN when invoked. It allows applications programs that provide a command interpreter interface to
issue the following commands:
CONNECT, DISCONNECT, HELP, LIST, RESUME, SET, SHOW, SWITCH
-I Connection Manager connects as INBOUND. When setting up for INBOUND only connections adding this
parameter string to the command removes the need for operator intervention to select INBOUND on the
Connection Manager screen.
-P Adding this parameter to the command line turns on the connection manager pop up OUTBOUND/
INBOUND screen.
-N <1 to 9> This option determines the number of Multiple connections operational at the same time from
1 to 9 (default = 1). Increasing the number of Multiple connections expands the MCSIWSN memory
requirement by up to 10K. To set the number of connections desired, type MCSIWSN -Nx (x = a number
from 1 to 9) and press Enter.
-A Adding this parameter following MCSIWSN allows you to make MCSI an INT14 compatible interface,
when the COMS14.EXE program is run after MCSIWSN -A. See the Section 5.6 of this chapter that
explains using MCSI as an INT14 software redirector.
-X Adding this parameter after the MCSIWSN command makes MCSI compatible with Novell NASI based
software
-M Adding this parameter after MCSIWSN allows you to wait on a specific line when it is in inbound mode
-S <1 to 9> This option allows the users to wait on multiple servers on the same network when it is in
inbound mode. The number of servers available at the same time from 1 to 9 (default = 1).
