Using Dial Modifiers


Dial modifiers are command characters imbedded in a phone number that cause the modem to dial
in a special way. Carbon Copy accepts dial modifiers when entered manually or used in a Phone
Book item.
The commands supported and how the modem responds to them depend on the modem. These
examples are from the Hayes factory defaults. The manual for your modem will tell you its default
settings and how to change them.
Examples of dial modifiers
T - T means touch-tone dial the characters that follow. Tone dial is the default, so you do not need
T unless you have previously used P (Pulse Dial). You can use both T and P in the same number.
P555-1234 T5678 pulse dials 5551234 and tone dials 5678 (an extension).
P - P means Pulse Dial the characters that follow. See T, above.
@ - @ means wait 5 seconds longer than the length of time set in the modems S7 register. Carbon
Copy sets this to 30 seconds when it configures your modem. 5551234 @ 5559876 dials 5551234,
waits 35 seconds, and dials 5559876.
, - A comma means pause for the time set in the modems S8 register. Carbon Copy sets this to 2
seconds when it configures your modem. You can use more than one comma for a longer pause. This
is often used to dial out of a switchboard. 9,555-1234 dials 9, pauses 2 seconds, and dials 5551234.
! - An exclamation point means a hook flash, sometimes used to transfer a call. The modem will go
on hook for 1/2 second, and go back off hook, as if you pushed the switch-hook button on your
telephone. The effect of this depends on your switchboard. 5551234!232 dials 5551234, goes on
hook for 1/2 second, goes back off hook and dials 232.

What are User Profiles?


User profiles contain a customized configuration for each user who has access to the computer, they
and can include information such as login names, callback phone numbers, and login passwords that
prevent unauthorized access to the computer. Using these features, you can protect access to the
computer by requiring callers to provide a valid login name before establishing a connection. All
information in the user profiles is encrypted when it is stored to disk, so that anyone browsing
through the files cannot open the user profiles file and view its contents.

Setting a Security Password


You can set a security password to protect user profiles from unauthorized users. This prevents
remote users from editing your user profiles during Remote Control. See Setting Up a Security
Password on page 15.

Profiles tab until the group they belong to is allowed to connect. To let members of a group connect,
you must modify the groups profile to allow connections.
To create and modify users and groups, use the Windows security service offered by your version
of Windows, for example, User Manager for Windows NT 4.0. For information on editing security

Configuring Remote Printing (page 37)

Using Remote Printing (page 38)

What is Remote Printing?


The Carbon Copy Remote Printing feature lets you print documents to a local printer from a remote
computer.
For Remote Printing to work effectively, the printer driver on the source computer must
be compatible with the destination printer. For example, if your destination printer is an HP LaserJet
4, then the source computer should have the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver installed.

Important:

The source computer is the computer that originates the printing of a document. The destination
computer is the computer physically connected to the printer where the document is printed. For
example, if you are calling in to your office computer, and you want to print a document on your
printer at home, your office computer is the source computer and your home computer is the
destination computer.
Remote Printing is often used in conjunction with Remote Control. In the example above, you could
use Remote Control on your home computer to work on a document in the word processor on your
office computer, and then print the document on the printer connected to your home computer.
The Carbon Copy Remote Printing feature works only from Windows applications. It is not possible
to print remotely from a DOS application.

Configuring Remote Printing


Before you can start to use Remote Printing, you need to configure both the source computer and the
destination computer. You must configure the destination computer to print to its local printer, and
you must configure the source computer to print to the Carbon Copy Printer Port.
To configure the destination computer for remote printing
1

Select Options > Remote Printing

When the Remote Printing dialog appears, select the destination printer you want to use from the
drop-down list. If you do not select a printer, Carbon Copy uses the default printer.
Important: You must NOT configure the destination computer to print to a Carbon Copy Port.

To configure the source computer for remote printing

Create a new printer by following your operating systems instructions. Name the printer so it will
be easy to identify, such as HP LaserJet via Carbon Copy. The new printer must be configured
as follows:

To use the Carbon Copy Printer port.

a problem on a users computer while talking to the user in Voice Chat.
You can also use Voice Chat stand-alone on an Internet phone utility that lets you have live
conversations over the Internet.
You must have a sound card, speakers, and a microphone on each computer to use Voice Chat. If a
computer is not properly equipped, you can still use text Chat. Voice Chat is not supported for
versions of Carbon Copy earlier than Version 5.0.
When Voice Chat is active, it filters out background noise, so little or no audio data is sent when a
user is not speaking.
Important: During a voice chat session, the quality of the audio heard by either user may decrease

as more Carbon Copy applications are used, or while the applications are performing data-intensive
tasks.

If your sound card does not support full-duplex operation, red and green status lights appear in
the upper right corner of the Voice Chat dialog. When the green status light is on, your voice is

user types appears in the other section of the Chat dialog. The cursor in your local dialog indicates
where the next character you type will appear.

You can use any printable ASCII characters, plus CTRL+G (beep) and the DELETE key. You
cannot use Edit menu commands to edit the Chat text itself.

Older text that scrolls out of view is held in each Chat window, and you can scroll to see it.

If the other users Chat window is not active, any Chat text you send is ignored. You will hear a
beep when you type, but the other user will not know you are sending Chat text.

Copying and Pasting Chat Text


You can copy Chat text into the Windows Clipboard, and later paste it into other applications. Also,
you can copy text from an application into the Windows Clipboard, and paste it into the Chat

Clearing Your Chat Windows


The Clear Windows command in the Edit menu empties the windows that hold chat text on the
computer. Clear Windows deletes not only visible text, but also any text that may have scrolled out
of view.
Use this command to provide a clear screen for chat text that will be copied later to the Windows
Clipboard. Because the entire contents of both windows are copied, you may want to empty them
before typing or receiving Chat you may later copy.
Using Clear Windows does not affect the chat windows on the remote computer.

Click Edit > Clear Windows.

Chapter 14: Voice Chat

Starting a Voice Chat Conference Session


You can use Voice Chat to set up a multiple user Voice Chat conference. In a Voice Chat conference,
the first computer that is connected to becomes the conference server. Other Carbon Copy users can
then connect to the conference server computer and launch Voice Chat.
For example, if User 1, User 2, and User 3 want to establish a Voice Chat conference, User 1
connects to User 3, and launches Voice Chat. User 3 automatically becomes the conference server.
User 2 can now connect to User 3 and launch Voice Chat. Voice can be sent and heard by all three
users.
Both the conference server computer and the remote computers should have Voice Chat set to full
duplex. This lets multiple users speak at the same time. If one computer in a conference session is
configured for half duplex, then all conference members computers will be forced to use half
duplex. You may want to use half duplex Voice Chat to limit the amount of data being transferred.
This may increase the performance of your session.
Carbon Copy users who do not have the Voice Chat utility can connect to one or more of the remote
computers and use the Text Chat utility.
1

User 1 sets Carbon Copy to the wait for call mode.

Others users call in to and connect to User 1.


Important: Users may establish connections with the Voice Chat conference server using any

connection method including modems, IPX, TCP/IP, direct connection, and dial-up networking.
