Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I am trying to get my setup working to get on a BBS, and having no luck(little over my head and need help) Here is my setup Stock 800XL, atari 850 with CX87 cable in port R1, 25 pin to the UDS-10. Ethernet cable from the UDS-10 to a Xfinity modem/router BobTerm 1.22 set to full duplex, ASCII, 9600 Here is my UDS-10 config. *** basic parameters Hardware: Ethernet Autodetect IP addr - 0.0.0.0/DHCP/BOOTP/AutoIP, gateway 10.0.0.1,netmask 255.255.255.0 DHCP device name : not set *** Security SNMP is enabled SNMP Community Name: public Telnet Setup is enabled TFTP Download is enabled Port 77FEh is enabled Web Server is enabled ECHO is disabled Enhanced Password is disabled *** Channel 1 Baudrate 9600, I/F Mode 4C, Flow 00 Port 10001 Connect Mode : D6 Auto increment source port disabled Remote IP Adr: --- none ---, Port 10001 Disconn Mode : 80 Flush Mode : 00 *** Expert TCP Keepalive : disabled ARP cache timeout: 600s Monitor Mode @ bootup : enabled HTTP Port Number : 80 I have the UDS-10 set to DHCP in the router, I can ping it fine from my PC, and I can access the device installer from my PC. When I load bobterm 1.22, I get the load 2sec beep for the 850 driver, but then I have just a constant high pitch beep that changes pitch depending on the baud rate When I try to "dial" out in terminal mode, I get a "NO CARRIER" I am kinda stuck at this point so any help would be great!

Justin Payne Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I struggled as well but my first problem was not having the correct serial cable but it seems you are using a official Atari serial cable so that's one problem down. 9600 might be too fast. Try dropping it down to a more reasonable 2400 baud. I can look at my settings when I get home tonight to compare them to your settings.

_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I use Baud 4800 connect mode 56 disconnect mode 81 Connect Mode Options for Modem EmulationWith DTR Echo 56Unconditionally Echo D6Unconditionally Without echo C6 give that a try.. make sure you use ascii to dial out then switch to atascii until you get the hang of ctrl m ctrl j be careful of bobterm versions, one of them is made for emulators and will give varied results on real hardware... what bbs are you trying to connect to? pm if you wish remote uds help/config/support.

+DrVenkman Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I use a different Lantronix box (MSS100) but 9600 baud works just fine through my P:R:Connection. I’m sure most Lantronix devices have no issues with much higher speeds, so I doubt that is the specific issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) speed becomes an issue over high ping connections/slow interwebs for uploads and downloads Edited June 12, 2019 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yeah, bobterm 1.23 is the one for emulators, I'm using 1.22. Any BBS i try to connect to just shows NO CARRIER. Changing Baud speed made no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) You Should Not Have a Remote IP port set! and no remote IP address either! what are you using as your dial string? uds 10 can not use domain name... you must use ip numbers ie ATDT 73.154.49.234,10001 ATDT 73.154.49.234/10001 ATDT 24.22.120.147,9000 ATDT 24.22.120.147/9000 Edited June 12, 2019 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 that seems to have helped(removed remote port). Now I get Connect ATA No Carrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) you must press return key a few times at the ATA Edited June 12, 2019 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 did not know that! Yup, it worked, connected to BBS Express!!! Thanx, new to this, my parents would not buy me a atari back in the day Is the annoying high pitch beep the whole time I am using bobterm normal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) When using a sio device such as the PR, Rverter, or 850 you will hear the noise, the tone is the baud rate so to speak, on and 800 they used to send noises to the internal speaker and not the tv/monitor so you either didn't hear it or turned the volume down... 96,000 is something I got used to and the lower bauds as well.... I believe there should be a way around it but it's not been dealt with ever. I use PBI serial ports (MIO/BlackBox) with my gear so it's silent... with normal volume setting et all.

Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 hmmm, wierd. connected once, now back to "no carrier". Maybe something with my Xfinity router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 or BBS is busy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierodoug5 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 so no carrier does not mean a issue on my end then, it can mean lots of different stuff like BBS busy, wrong ip and more...good to know. Thank you much for all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Yes, some lantonix devices do not give any reasons other than error and no carrier, perle devices give busy, no carrier, and error etc. mss100 etc can be configured to give a little more info than uds and can use dialing of domain names Edited June 12, 2019 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+David_P Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Back in the day for BBSing, I loved BobTerm (with XEP80 at 2400 baud). Plus the stand-alone ZModem downloader. Now, there's ICE-T for your 80-column software VT100 goodness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
