Tips for Connecting and Disconnecting
* Using defaults.
If you connect to the same HP 3000 most of the time, set up
defaults for connection and disconnection.
You can configure both a default LAN connection and a default
serial connection even though you cannot use both at the same time
automatically. Then you can switch from one default configuration
to another simply by making a different selection on the Auto
Connect Selection option of the Options dialog box.
* Having problems.
Certain situations--such as attempting to log on to a system when
a logon is already established and another process is
running--cause the data communications software to perform
multiple retries of the connect sequence. It may take a few
minutes to connect in these situations.
If, however, it takes more than 5 minutes to connect (you see the
hourglass symbol on the screen for more than 5 minutes), it is not
a condition that will time out.
You must reboot your PC. Before trying to connect to the same HP
3000 through HP LaserRX/MPE, check to see that you can log on
outside of HP LaserRX/MPE.
If you continue to have problems, there is an HP LaserRX/MPE data
comm diagnostic utility available in the \SUPPORT\PINGRX
subdirectory on the HP LaserRX/MPE CD.
* Using batch interface commands.
You can use HP LaserRX/MPE batch interface commands and batch
interface command files to connect to one or more remote systems.
See Chapter 9 .
* Using macros.
You can simplify the task of making multiple connections through
HP LaserRX/MPE by using macro files.
Macro files can be played from within HP LaserRX/MPE or from the
MS-DOS command line.
See Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 .
