Packing a database

When you pack a database, you restructure the modems.dat file that contains a list of your current modems and their settings. This function is optional and infrequently used since changes are tracked without using this function.

To pack a database, display the Utilities menu and select Pack Database.

Once you have selected the make and model of your modem and performed any additional activities, click OK to exit the pfs/Async Modem Settings window. The pfs/Async Terminal Settings window is displayed automatically if you are initially setting up an asynchronous communications channel.

You can also access the pfs/Async Terminal Settings window by selecting Terminal from the Setup menu on the main asynchronous communications window. The main communications window now has the caption <comm port>: <baud rate>,<parity>,<data bits>,<stop bits>, reflecting the choices you made about your modem.
