| Q |
Is
ModemShare Millennium compatible with Windows
XP Service Pack 2? |
| A |
Yes, but
XP Service Pack 2 includes the Windows Firewall
which by default disables access to NetBIOS on TCP
port 139. You will need to enable the exception
to the "File and Printer Sharing Service"
to allow inbound traffic to TCP port 139 on the
ModemShare Server computer. |
| Q |
How
do I upgrade from the trial version to the retail
licensed version? |
| A |
To update the
evaluation, you must install the retail version
of the Server. It can be installed over the evaluation
or you can uninstall the evaluation and then install
the retail version. This is so you can properly
input the Serial Number and Verification Key. This
will license your server and make it the correct
retail version. The clients do not need to be updated. |
| Q |
Can
I install ModemShare Millennium on a DOS client
machine? |
| A |
Yes, the ModemShare
Millennium Client supports DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows
9x/ME and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 platforms. |
| Q |
What
network protocol does ModemShare Millennium support? |
| A |
ModemShare
Millennium requires some sort of NetBIOS or NetBeui.
By default, TCP/IP uses encapsulated NetBIOS,
IPX needs to have NetBIOS over IPX enabled. Make
sure the same protocol is set to be the default
on all machines. |
| Q |
What
type of modems or multi-port boards does ModemShare
Millennium support? |
| A |
ModemShare
Millennium should support any modem or multi-port
board that creates COM ports. If the server can
use HyperTerminal to dial out using the direct
to COM port option rather than the modem driver,
ModemShare Millennium should be able to share
that port. |
| Q |
Will
ModemShare Millennium support a USB modem? |
| A |
Yes, as long
as the manufacturer provides a compatible COM
port driver. The USB port must represent itself
as a COM port, and ModemShare Millennium must
see it as a Windows COM port. |
| Q |
Can
ModemShare Millennium and RAS share the same COM
Port? |
| A |
Yes, if these
steps are followed:
a) RAS must be installed
before ModemShare Millennium.
b) RAS must be started
first. (If Millennium and RAS start as a service
automatically, they will start in the correct
order.)
c) You must be running
the latest Service Pack for NT4.
d) If any Service Packs
are installed after ModemShare Millennium, you
must reinstall the ModemShare Millennium Server.
|
| Q |
What
type of security does ModemShare Millennium have?
|
| A |
If the ModemShare
Millennium server is installed on an NT Server,
you can create a local group called ModemShare.
Only the users you want to use the modems should
belong to that group. No one else will be able
to use the modem. |
| Q |
How
do I add ports and users to my existing ModemShare
Millennium license? |
| A |
1. Open the
SpartaCom Manager from Programs Menu.
2. From the Manager program
menu choose Configuration then License(s)
3. From the License window,
open the drop-down box displaying the current
license.
4. Select a 000 - 0000 0000... license and once
it is highlighted, input the new add-on license. |
