The Modem Manager lets you configure the various connection methods associated with DLS IV.

To access the Modem Manager, go to Menu -> Modem Manager Configuration. Template:Screenshot

In the Modem Manager window, you can add a connection type, remove a connection type and initiate a modem. There are different options associated with each connection type. The different connection types are PC-Link, MD12 Modem & Multi.


When you select a connection type, the properties on the right side change accordingly. Template:Screenshot

PC-Link properties

PC-Link gives you the following options.

Sharing a CommPort

Many late model PCs are configured with only 1 serial communication port. For this reason, the Modem Manager will allow "Sharing" a comm port between both PC-Link and a modem.

Simply configure both of the connection devices to use the shared comm port (likely Com1), and DLS IV will manage the comm port for you. You may now submit jobs for each of the configured connection types from any account, DLS IV will take care of the comm port configuration as the jobs are processed.
