Adding dial-up lines to a VADV32 installation
is not much different than how you did it years
ago. There are a few ways to do it, but this will
help guide you toward the recommended way.
-
Highly recommended that all dial-up nodes
are setup with node numbers after the
telnet nodes. For example, telnet nodes would
be nodes 1 through 10 and the first dial-up
node would be node 11. It is not recommended
that you run a dial-up node as node 1. If you
do, VADV32 would have to be configured to let
VADV handle daily maintenance, events and
other essential features.
-
Go to VADV32's configuration, click the
nodes tab and unselect "Telnet-Only System."
You must do this in order for VADV32
to give you full control of the node
setup.
-
Go to VADV's main configuration and
set the number of active channels to the
number of telnet nodes plus the number of
dial-up nodes. Once you click OK, you will
notice the list of nodes change.
-
Go to the channel configuration. It should
automatically load to the first non-telnet
node. Setup this node as your first dial-up
node. Consult your modem's documentation
for initialization string codes.
-
It is recommended you run a fossil driver for
dial-up nodes. BNU and X00 are common
choices.
-
To launch the node, from the command line
run "BBS.EXE [node]". The node's WFC
screen will load and if everything is
configured correctly it will initialize
the modem and be ready for incoming calls.
