How to load QCon_Rext driver

[mancity1961]

I wish to use the serial port on my QConnect modem but to do so I believe I have to load the QCon_Rext device driver into my boot file,
the problem is I am unsure how to do this. According to the txt file supplied with the driver you should put the following command into your
boot file: "LRESPR <device>QCON_REXT" but I'm not sure if I include the quotes and do I put SER2 into the brackets and do I include the brackets?

Hi,

The syntax that could work eg

100 location$="flp1_" : REMark or other directory device that contains the Qcon_rext file
110 LRESPR location$&"Qcon_rext"

The instructions for using Qcon_rext aught to let you know how to configure Qcon_rext to use SER2. If you do not have an instruction manual have a look at Dilwyn Jones site as it has a lot of documentation.

Cheers

First things first - do you have a standard boot file and where do you store it?

If so, look for a space in teh line numbers with the command

Code: Select all

LIST

You should see something like:

Code: Select all

100 TK2_EXT
110 LRESPR flp1_test_ext

or similar.

Assuming your boot file is loaded from flp1_ you need to add for the above very basic sample boot file:

Code: Select all

105 LRESPR flp1_QCON_REXT

If you do not have Toolkit II, then you will not have the command TK2_EXT or LRESPR and will have to use another command instead of LRESPR (but we need to know how big the QCON_REXT file is to advise on that).

Do not include the quotes. SER2 does not go into the brackets, and the brackets are also not included.
Instead, <device> represents the drive where QCON_REXT was unzipped to. So, if this was unzipped to, say, Ram1_ we would do ...

Code: Select all

LRESPR Ram1_QCON_REXT

This will load and initialise the QCON driver and set it to use the SER2 port.
