Modem Menu in NamoSys

In NamoSys you can select File Transfer to transfer files by modem.

Exporting stamps in SOSET Typeset:
In SOSET Typeset you first decide which stamps you want to export. Select the Export to SOSET Windows command from the File menu in Typeset. You can either export the current stamp on screen or export stamps on status.
All stamps to export can be transferred to the SOSET export directory (a sub-directory of the SOSET-data directory). After selecting this option SOSET Typeset prompts you to save the stamp as a Stamp.dbf file in the export directory from the SOSET data path. These default settings need not to be changed, so you will not have problems with finding the stamps to export.

Importing stamps in SOSET Typeset:
In SOSET Typeset you import stamps. Select the Import to SOSET Windows command from the File menu in Typeset. Select the appropriate .DBF file from which the stamps will be imported (and the directory in which this file can be found).

Preparing your modem:
In NamoSys you can select the Preferences command from the File menu to set your modem properties. After clicking the button Modem a dialog will appear in which you can enter the Preferences settings. In this dialog you can enter the modem settings. You can set the port, the parity, the baud, the data and the stop bits.
(Standard settings for these preferences are: for the parity: none, the baud: 2480, the data: 8 bits, and the stop bits: 1 bit.). These settings normally have to be set only once, since they import/export stamps to the same host.

Note: Make sure that all preferences settings (except for the port: COM1 through COM8, which can be different for every computer) are similar for both the host side and the remote side. The best way to attain matching preference settings between the two operations is to check and adapt these to one another over the telephone.

 

File Transfer

Dial/Send or Wait/Receive:
Selecting the File transfer option from the Modem menu, will open a dialog in which you can select whether you want to dial/send (all data from the export directory is being transferred) or to wait/receive (all data will be transferred to the import directory).

Click the appropriate button and SOSET will automatically transfer all data from the SOSET export directory to the SOSET import directory from the host side (the receiving side). As soon as the file transfer is finished, the modem connection will be automatically terminated.

After exporting stamps by modem the following question appears on screen: Move all transferred files to the SOSET temporary folder? Answer Yes to this question, in case you want stamps to be exported only once.

On entering the stamps in Typeset, you are advised to choose your OrderNumber with care. The OrderNumber at the remote side needs to be different from the OrderNumber at the host side. Otherwise they will be overwritten. To avoid overlapping OrderNumber you have to make good appointments concerning the range of OrderNumber you use.

In NamoSys you choose the System-table option from the Browse submenu. You can enter the next OrderNumber for a stamp that will be assigned to a stamp in Typeset. When you opened the system-table, press "o" and the OrderNumber-line will appear. Now press edit to change the Value (do Not change the parameter). For instance, you could choose OrderNumber until a certain number, and the other side chooses her OrderNumber from that number on.

Note: To avoid missing logo's during editing after import and export, we advise you to save and copy logo-files always in the same LOGO-subdirectory from the SOSET data path. (SOSET import- and export-operations do not cover this!). Make sure the logo's are copied from the logo-directory to the export directory or from the import directory to the logo-directory, to avoid missing logo's.
