1a??@AAB=/2!89 PSU Dial-Up Internet Access for Windows95 Jim Forkner --rev 32 05/13/97 This is a JUMP-START document. For more information, see the information sources listed in Appendix B at the end of this document. For trouble-free installation, perform the items in the order listed, since each depends on its predecessors. For simplicity, all the examples assume that Windows95 is installed on your C: disk. The following symbols are used in this document: [BUTTON] -- this is an on-screen button to be pressed or clicked -- this is a check box that you check or uncheck -- left-click the mouse on some choice Mfg. & Model from list.

CONGRATULATIONSYouve connected to the PennState CAC Access Network! At this point, youre probably champing at the bit to see if the connection really works. Well, hang on for just a few more minutes and continue with the next section which installs CACTWIN, the PennState CAC Access Clients. 5. LOGOFF THE CAC ACCESS SERVER, e.g. How to HANG UP the phone On the TASKBAR (by default, the Taskbar is near the bottom of your screen), locate the [BUTTON] labeled [My Connection] or, if you followed our example: [CACPPP Server]. [CACPPP Server] to restore the Connected to CACPPP Server pop-up window. [DISCONNECT] this breaks the connection and hangs up the phone. Thats all there is to it! 6. HOW TO ENABLE AUTOMATIC RE-DIAL the CAC Server -- if the lines BUSY This section allows Windows 95 to automatically re-dial the CAC Access Server several times if the line is busy. NOTE: For those of you familiar with CACTWIN, this re-dial functionality is associated with the Dial-Up Connectoid itself, not with a dialing script the way it is in CACTWIN (PSU Dandy Dialer/Trumpet Winsock Dialer) [START] Programs Accessories Dial-Up Networking Icon Find the Connections menu item across the top of the Dial-Up Networking Window on Connections, then on Settings.. In the General properties [TAB] Redial 10 in the Before giving up retry input area 0 mins. and 1 sec. in the Between tries wait input area [OK] 7. OBTAIN & INSTALL CACTWIN: (If not already installed) If CACTWIN is already installed on your system, DO NOT re-install CACTWIN, rather, GO to Step 8, also see Step 11! Obtain CACTWIN: Youve probably already gotten the diskettes from the CAC Help Desk in 12 Willard Building. But if not, you can use Microsoft FTP on Windows 95 to download CACTWIN from the PennState FTP server. By-the-way, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocola standardized way of copying files from one computer to another. One way or another, you gotta have the CACTWIN distribution software before you install CACTWIN! (In other words, dont try to copy CACTWIN files from someone elses computer to your own. Youll likely make a mess of things because there are some system files you gotta have to make this all work!) Heres how to FTP (copy) the files to your system using the PennState Network: the CACPPP Server Connectoid and get connected to the PennState Network. We just did this a few minutes ago, but if youre not sure how to do it, heres a reminder: [START]ProgramsAccessoriesDial-Up Networking... CACPPP Server [START] Now were going to launch FTP and copy the files we need... RUN this opens the run command dialog box Type FTP in the INPUT BOX [OK] When the DOS window opens, enter these FTP commands on the command line: 1. OPEN SOFTWARE.CAC.PSU.EDU 2. Use to login to the server Supply your own Access userid 3. Use as the password 4. BINARY 5. !MKDIR C:\TEMP Do this if you dont already have a TEMP folder 6. LCD C:\TEMP 7. CD /pub/CACTWIN 8. GET cactwin.exe Takes about 15 minutes at 28,800 bps 9. CLOSE 10. QUIT If you FTPd CACTWIN to your system using these directions, the file is now in your C:\TEMP folder. Use Windows Explorer to examine the contents of your C:\TEMP folder, then double-click on CACTWIN to expand it into the necessary files (same as if you copied all the files from the 2-diskette setsee below.) If you have diskettes, then copy the files on the diskettes to the C:\TEMP folder. You could install directly from diskettes, but it goes a lot faster from the hard disk, especially if you have to run it more than once. Install CACTWIN: From Windows Explorer, access the C:\TEMP folder and double-click on SETUP, this starts the CACTWIN install process. on SETUP in the C:\TEMP folder CACTWIN Setup then starts and you follow these steps: CACTWIN Setup - Initializing CUSTOM [CONTINUE] 1st BOX (TRUMPWSK - Trumpet Winsock TCP/IP) [CONTINUE] Sometimes, the CACTWIN Setup Installation process will fail or hang at this point. If this happens to you, see the CACTWIN ReadMe.txt document. There are brief notes in Appdndix C of this document too and in addition, you can find excellent, detailed information at < http://dsg.cac.psu.edu/cactwin > Normally, CACTWIN will prompt you for information about your Access account. Allow CACTWIN to continue installation until complete. Launch the TCP/IP clients from the [START]PROGRAMSCactwin INTERNET ACCESS menu. CONGRATULATIONS!Youve just installed the PSU CACTWIN Internet Client package. NOTE: Steps 8, 9 and 10 are an OPTIONAL GROUP, so if you decide to do them, be sure to DO ALL 3 STEPS! 8. OBTAIN CAC PPP Dial-Up Script: (Optional Group) The purpose of the Dial-Up Script is to AUTOMATICALLY supply your userid, password and your request for PPP service to the CAC Access server from information contained in the Connectoid. Note that the CACPPP.SCP script file is for Windows95 and has nothing to do with PSU Dandy Dialer or Trumpet Winsock scripts. If you are using CACTWIN version 2.0 or newer, the CACPPP.SCP file (and this document) are included in the CACTWIN package. The files are placed in your C:\IACCESS\UTILITY folder, so you dont *have* to FTP the files. You will need to on W95-DIAL.EXE to extract the script and this document. NOTE: We show how to use the Windows 95 version of FTP for consistency in these instructions. If you are an experienced user, you may certainly use any FTP client you wish. Heres how to FTP (copy) the files to your system using the PennState network: the CACPPP Server Connectoid and get connected to the PennState network. [START] RUN Type FTP in the INPUT BOX [OK] When the DOS window opens, enter these FTP commands on the command line: 1. OPEN FTP.CAC.PSU.EDU 2. Login as ANONYMOUS 3. Use @PSU.EDU as the password (Here, you supply your own Access userid) 4. ASCII 5. LCD C:\Program Files\Accessories Enter the double-quotes () EXACTLY as shown. 6. CD /PUB/ACCESS/WIN95 One space between Program and Files 7. GET CACPPP.SCP Get this file if youre at University Park 8. GET CESPPP.SCP Get this file if youre at a Commonwealth Campus. 9. CLOSE 10. QUIT You now have the script file CACPPP.SCP in the C:\Program Files\Accessories folder on your machine. In the next section, you will install the Scripter and associate the CACPPP.SCP script with your CACPPP Server Connectoid. 9. INSTALLATION OF SLIP & SCRIPTER: (Optional Group) NOTE: The Scripter and other useful Windows95 tools may not be on some Win95 CDs or diskettes. These files are available from Microsoft at their Web site: http:\\WWW.MICROSOFT.COM\WINDOWS\SOFTWARE.HTM, or their FTP site at ftp:\\FTP.MICROSOFT.COM\SOFTLIB\MSLFILES\DSCRPT.EXE. A more advanced Scripting Tool is also available as part of the Windows95 Plus! Pack at additional cost. We recommend that if you have the Plus! Pack, that you follow the Plus! Pack instructions for installing that Scripting Tool. The purpose of the Scripting Tool is to associate the CACPPP.SCP (or CESPPP.SCPif at a Commonwealth Campus) file with your Dial-Up Connectoid. You 1st install the Scripting Tool, then you use it to associate the CACPPP.SCP file with your CACPPP Server Connectoid. (This procedure also installs unneeded SLIP software, but it must be done this way in order to get the Scripting Tool.)

[OK] [OK] B. If the CACTWIN Clients were previously installed on your Windows 3.1 system: Typically, if you were running the CACTWIN clients on a Windows 3.x system and youve upgraded to Windows 95, you should be able to use the existing CACTWIN clients with no modifications. If youre happy with the Windows 95 PPP support and no longer need the CACTWIN Trumpet Winsock and Dandy Dialer support then you may optionally want to remove these components from your system. Heres how to do it: NOTE: If youve decided to OPTIONALLY remove the Trumpet Winsock code, be sure to DO ALL 3 STEPS: (1) Remove (or comment out) the Trumpet Winsock PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT: In Windows Explorer, find the file: C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Select it with the mouse the filename to bring up a context sensitive menu Explore from Herethis opens an Explorer Window right at the Programs Folder. the Plus Sign [+] next to the Programs folder in the left panethis expands the tree. In the left pane, find and each of these filenames in turn: Hangup Ping PSU Dialer TCP Manager Telnet Press the [Delete] key on the keyboard to delete these program items which are no longer needed. Close the Explorer Window by the dismiss button [X] in the upper right corner of the window. (3) Remove the Trumpet Winsock libraries and executables: If you allowed CACTWIN to choose the filenames and path when you originally installed the package, you can find and delete the files in the TRUMPWSK folder under IACCESS. C:\IACCESS\TRUMPWSK This is the folder youre going to delete Using Windows Explorer,
