Before configuring CCVS, you need to be able
to answer certain questions about your system and about how you want to
set up CCVS. To prepare for the
configuration process, be sure to follow these steps:
Please read through all documentation and errata that came with the
program.
Fill out setup.txt. The
setup.txt file is a worksheet which explains
the different information needed when configuring
CCVS to use particular protocols. If you
fill out setup.txt, you'll have all of the
information needed for the configuration process available at your
fingertips. You can find it in the
/usr/share/doc/CCVS-<version>
directory. Alternatively, setup.txt is also
available at http://www.redhat.com/products/ccvs/support/CCVS3.3docs/setup.txt.
Please Note
On the setup worksheet, you'll be asked for some protocol-specific
information. You only need to provide information for the
protocol which you are going to use. You don't need to fill in
the worksheet information for any of the other protocols.
The CCVS installation program will ask
you several things about your modem, so be prepared with the
appropriate information. Currently CCVS
only documents the init strings for three modems:
Hayes Optima or ACCURA
\r~~~\rAT &D3 X4 E0 &K0
&Q0
U.S. Robotics Sportster or Courier
\r~~~\rAT E0 L0 M1 V1 X4 &K0 &M0
+FCLASS=0
Chase Research PCI-RAS
\r~~~\rAT E0 %C0 \\N0
If your modem does not appear on this list, look through your modem
manual to find the string which turns off all compression and error
correction, and the string which resets your modem for normal usage.
You'll need to set these two modem strings during the configuration
process.
