AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0198 6-26-86
RECEIVING A FILE USING AST 3780
The purpose of this Technical Bulletin is to assist users of the
AST 3780 package with the following symptom: The PC is unable to
receive a file from the host. In technical terms, the host has
sent many ENQs to the PC. The PC is not responding to the host's
ENQs. Therefore, the PC fails to respond to the host.
This symptom will occur under the following conditions:
1) The operator is using the menu drive (IP) section
of the software.
2) The user is in the receive mode.
3) The host is trying to transmit to the PC.
4) The user has versions 4.6 or 4.8 of the software.
AST has two possible suggestions to enable the user to receive
the file successfully. Either suggestion will solve the symptom
described above.
1) Place the modem in the analog loopback mode. Bring
up the IP section of the AST 3780 software. Press
the Fl Fl F10 function keys. Put the modem and the
3780 package into their standard setting for
receiving a file.
2) Transmit a file to the host first, then receive a
file back to the PC.
