Other Issuses 1. Remote Window not Updating _________________________________________________________________ I. The TranXit Install Program 1. Types of Installation The Install program allows you to choose either a Desktop or a Laptop installation. 2. Modifications to Your CONFIG.SYS File The following changes will be made to your CONFIG.SYS file if you install the desktop version of TranXit using all the default conditions during the install program. a. Additions to CONFIG.SYS device=C:\OS2\DLL\NSIR.SYS basedev=PNPBIODD.SYS device=C:\OS2\DLL\PRTUTIL.SYS b. Additions to OS2\DLL Directory NSIR.SYS PRTUTIL.SYS LMDLL.DLL c. Additions to OS2\BOOT Directory PNPBIODD.SYS The following changes will be made to your CONFIG.SYS file if you install the laptop version of TranXit using all the default conditions during the install program. a. Additions to CONFIG.SYS device=C:\OS2\DLL\IRDD.SYS device=C:\OS2\DLL\PRTUTIL.SYS b. Additions to OS2\DLL Directory IRDD.SYS PRTUTIL.SYS LMDLL.DLL _________________________________________________________________ II. Trouble Shooting 1. Parallel Cable Connection If you have configured TranXit to communicate over a parallel cable, and the New Window Button is not enabled (this button is enabled when a connection is established), check the following: a. Make sure the that both the local and remote computers have selected a parallel cable connection in Connection/Setup. b. If the connection is intermittent, make sure the cable is securely fastened to the parallel port. c. Verify that there are no conflicts with other hardware devices such as sound cards or network adapters. The default IRQ setting for many sound cards is IRQ 7. This is also the IRQ that is used for communication over LPT1. Consult your adapter documentation for changing the default IRQ on these boards. d. If you have selected LPT2, the default IRQ on the I/O communication adapter may not be set to IRQ 5. Try selecting IRQ 7 from the Change Connection Settings in the Connection Setup dialog box, or consult the I/O adapter documentation for changing the IRQ for LPT2 to IRQ 5. If you have a bus mouse, it may be set to IRQ 5. If the mouse freezes after configuring TranXit for LPT2, there is an IRQ conflict. Consult your mouse hardware documentation for changing the default IRQ. e. If your computer has more than one parallel port, make sure the cable is attached to the correct port. f. When connecting to a slower computer, Pentium to 386, you may need to start TranXit on the slower computer first. g. The parallel cable must be LapLink(R) compatible and have male DB-25 connectors at both ends. If you are not using a LapLink parallel cable, make sure the cable is configured with the following pin connections: 25 Pin 25 Pin ------- ------- Pin 2 <---> Pin 15 Pin 3 <---> Pin 13 Pin 4 <---> Pin 12 Pin 5 <---> Pin 10 Pin 6 <---> Pin 11 Pin 15 <---> Pin 2 Pin 13 <---> Pin 3 Pin 12 <---> Pin 4 Pin 10 <---> Pin 5 Pin 11 <---> Pin 6 Pin 25 <---> Pin 25 (Ground-Ground) 2. Infrared Connection If you have configured TranXit to communicate with an infrared connection, and you do not get a New Window button (this is enabled when a connection is established), check the following: a. Make sure that both the local and remote computers have selected the proper infrared connection in Setup/Connection. b. There must be no obstacles blocking the line of sight between the infrared adapters. c. The adapters should be placed away from any light or electromagnetic source. These can include such item as wireless headphones, halogen desk lamps, and even computer monitors. d. When connecting to a slower computer, Pentium to 386, you may need to start TranXit on the slower computer first. e. Some notebook computers use the Windows loadable device driver POWER.DRV for power conservation. If you are experiencing trouble connecting to a remote computer, and you have tried all of the above steps, set the Power Management list box setting in the Power Control Panel Applet to "Standard" or "Off." f. If the message "Error establishing connection. Please verify the port settings in connection setup." appears, it is possible that the infrared device could not be initialized properly. Restart TranXit after checking the following: - Make sure the correct infrared model has been selected in connection setup. - If using an infrared dongle connected to the serial port, make sure the cable is securely fastened to the serial port. If the dongle requires an external power source, insure the power source is properly attached. III. Other Issues 1. Remote Window not Updating When deleting files in single or multi-level directories from Local System on Remote System, after delete process has completed occasionally the Remote Window is not updated and continues to display the directories which have previously been deleted. If this happens simply close the Remote Window and OPEN a New Remote Window. The New Remote Window will reflect any changes that were made. Please read the following information : 1.
