This appendix includes information on the changes that Cisco DialOut Utility makes to your Windows files, as well as a list of the filenames and an explanation of each file's purpose.
When you run SETUP.EXE, the Cisco DialOut Utility revises the statements in the Windows 95 or Windows NT Registry or adds the statements described in the following sections.
The following statements appear in both the Windows 95 and Windows NT Registries in the following path to the Cisco DialOut Utility support modules:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hardware devicemap serialcomm DialOut-portname (portname is the name of the virtual com port) SOFTWARE Cisco Systems, Inc. DialOut DLLs Port IDs Ports
In addition to the entries noted in the section "Registry Entries for Windows 95 and Windows NT," the following statements appear in the Windows NT Registry:
SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services EventLog System DOUTDrv Pointer to Event Log message DLL
DOUTWnt Pointer to Event Log message DLL
DOUTDrv
DOUTWnt
If you are using Windows 3.1x, the Cisco DialOut Utility makes the following changes to the WIN.INI file:
[DialOut_Root] BuildNumber=00000301 FirstTime=0 PasswordCache=3 NeedSecurity=1 DefaultShow=6 Directory=C:\PROGRAMS\CISCO\DIALOUT.WIN [DialOut_Ports] COM1=* COM2=* COM3=4096,4096|DialOutDriver,199.99.99.99:6001:0:1$,1,4096,1,4096,999,0, 0,0|*,ATF^],~~~+++~~~ATH^],38400,8,0,0,1,1024,1,1024,1,0,0|| COM4=* [DialOut_DLLs] DialOutDriver=C:\PROGRAMS\CISCO\DIALOUT.WIN\DOUTTLN.DLL|TLNInitCommMech| TLNDeinitCommMech|TLNInitComPort|TLNDeinitComPort|TLNPostRecvFromNetwork |TLNForceDisconnect||
BuildNumber is used for troubleshooting purposes.
FirstTime is set to 1 immediately after installation, so the Cisco DialOut Utility knows it needs to perform certain tasks upon startup. After you reboot the PC and the Cisco DialOut Utility performs the startup tasks, FirstTime is set to 0.
PasswordCache is a reserved system value. It is always set to 1 and cannot be changed.
NeedSecurity is set to 0 or 1.
DefaultShow is no longer used.
Directory=C:\PROGRAMS\CISCO\DIALOUT.WIN is the default Windows 3.1x drive and directory for Cisco DialOut Utility. If you selected another drive or directory, this line will reflect your selection.
COMx displays an asterisk (*) for ports that are not used by Cisco DialOut Utility. For ports used by Cisco DialOut Utility, this line indicates the IP address and modem settings.
DialOutDriver displays a list of the DLLs used by the Cisco DialOut Utility.
During installation, the Cisco DialOut Utility copies your existing COMM.DRV file to a file called ORGCOMM.DRV and replaces it with Cisco DialOut Utility's own COMM.DRV file. This should not affect the operation of Windows.
Table B-1 lists the files that the Cisco DialOut Utility places in the directory you specify during setup. Not all files are installed on all Windows platforms, and the setup files are present on the Cisco DialOut Utility installation disk but are not installed on the hard disk.
