DISCUSSION

    Software included in the GeoPort Telecom Adapter Kit

    Apple Telecom Software

    This includes all software necessary to use the GeoPort Telecom Adapter with the following Macintosh systems:

    • Centris 660AV, Quadra 660AV, and Quadra 840AV
    • Power Macintosh 6100/60, 6100/66, 7100/66, 7100/80, 8100/80, 8100/100, and 8100/110.

    The Apple Telecom User's Guide contains complete information about installing and using this software. An electronic Apple Telecom Upgrade Manual is included in the Telecom Documents folder so you can learn about the new features if you upgraded electronically and don't have the Apple Telecom User's Guide. Disks 1 and 2 can also be used to install Apple Telecom 2.0 software on Macintosh systems equipped with an Express Modem card.

    MegaPhone

    This is a screen-based telephone application that delivers full support of the telephony capabilities of the Apple Telecom 2.0 software, including support for dialing from a graphical keypad, copying and pasting telephone numbers, dragging and dropping business card information, and voicemail functions.

    The GeoPort Telecom Adapter Kit also includes a free 30-day trial of call logging, MegaDial dialing manager, intelligent synchronization with directory information (saving telephone numbers to a PowerTalk catalog, for example), and other extended capabilities.

    See also: the MegaPhone electronic manual included on Disk 3 (Telecom Applications).

    Note: MegaPhone is not installed by the Apple Telecom Installer program. You must install it separately.

    Note: MegaPhone is not included with free upgrades.

    SITcomm SE/GTA

    This is a terminal emulator application. With SITcomm SE/GTA (Special Edition for GeoPort Telecom Adapter), your Macintosh can communicate with a variety of other computers, linked by serial cables or by telephone lines.

    With SITcomm you can exchange information with:

    • A colleague who is using another computer with similar communications software.
    • Text-based information and electronic mail services, such as CompuServe or MCI Mail.
    • Your company or school's remote minicomputer or mainframe.

    See also: the SITcomm SE electronic manual included on Disk 4 (Telecom Applications).

    Notes:

    SITcomm is not installed by the Apple Telecom Installer program. You must install it separately.

    Disk 4 is not included with free upgrades. You can order the full upgrade, including SITcomm SE and the Apple Telecom User's Guide manual, by calling the Apple Order Center. Ask for the Apple Telecom software version 2.0 upgrade for use with your GeoPort Telecom Adapter.

    Upgrading from Previous Releases of GeoPort Telecom Adapter Software

    If you are installing this version of the software over an older version, you should use the Easy Install option rather than the Custom Install option. This ensures that all files are updated as necessary.

    Note: if you have installed any customized fax cover pages and renamed the fax folder (called Express Fax in previous versions), the Installer moves them to the new Fax Folder. You can still use them, but if you want to keep them in a different folder, you'll need to drag them there manually.

    When you have installed over an older version, the folders "Modem Documents" and "Express Fax" and the file "GeoPort ReadMe" may still be left on your hard disk from the earlier version. These are not necessary for using the newer version; you may delete them.

    Connection (CCL) scripts for Apple Remote Access

    Use the following connection scripts with Apple Remote Access:

    ARA 1.0: GeoPort Telecom ARA 1.x (in Extensions folder in System Folder)

    ARA 2.0: GeoPort Telecom ARA 2.x (in Extensions folder in System Folder)

    Note: These files are placed directly in the Extensions folder by the Installer program. You do not need to move or copy them there as stated in Appendix C of the Apple Telecom User's Guide. Apple Remote Access 1.0 does not support Power Macintosh computers. You can obtain information on upgrades for Apple Remote Access at "Locating Vendor Information" , can help you search for a particular vendor's address and phone number.
