IOV CFEIS Dial-In Setup Guide for Connecting to the EPA Written by: Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc.; Ann Arbor Modified by EPA 3/29/97 and reformatted by EPA 8/11/97 Modified by EPA 10/15/01 to correct formatting and dial-in telephone number SETUP GUIDE FOR CONNECTING TO THE EPA COMPUTER This guide assumes that Microsoft Windows 95 will be used to set up access to the EPA computer. Most of these instructions will also work for a set-up to the Internet. The EPA computer is NOT on the Internet, despite the FTP address given later in this guidance. The EPA computer is a "stand-alone" computer with no direct links to the Internet. It does however, use data download protocols which are identical to those used on the Internet. THIS GUIDE CONTAINS THREE SECTIONS: Section A- Setting up to Connect to the EPA computer. Section B- Setting up your Software (Server Information) Section C- Solving a Connection Problem (Help Section) Note on ID's For connection to the EPA's dial-in computer, you will need TWO IDs. One for the initial PPP connection, and another for the FTP connection. This is necessary for technical and security reasons. The PPP login will be your THREE letter manufacturer subcode plus the letters 'ppp'. (For example, if you are with Tasmania Motor Works, your id would be 'tmxppp'.) The list of the subcodes are in Appendix F of the Certification Manufacturer Users Guide (CMUG). You will still have to contact the appropriate personnel at EPA to have this ID turned "on". The PPP login will be used in the Section A, part VI of this document. The second ID (which is used in Section B, part IX) will have to obtained and determined upon contact with the appropriate EPA personnel. SECTION A- SETTING UP TO CONNECT TO THE EPA COMPUTER. I. Installing SLIP access. If you have the Microsoft Plus Pack installed or Windows 95 CD-ROM disk available, then skip this step and proceed to step 2. In this step you to obtain the Self-Extracting rile called DSCRPT. EXE. There are 2 ways (a. or b.) that you can use to obtain this file: a. Contact the Microsoft BBS at (205) 936-5735. Once on, choose the "D" option on the file menu to download the file DSCRPT. EXE. or b. With a web browser, open the following URL: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q142/7/94.asp?FinishURL=%2Fdownloads%2Frelease%2Easp%3FReleaseID%3D14863%26LangID%3D20%26LangDIR%3Den%2Dus%26OpSysID%3D1311%26Search%3DKeywords%26Value%3Ddial%252Dup%2Bnetwork%26Show%3DAlpha%26Start%3D%26Page%3D0%26redirect%3Dno You will then be given the option to download the DSCRPT. EXE file. c. Once you have obtained the file, create a folder called SLIP. Place the DSCRPT. EXE file in this folder and click on it. The self- extracting file will then extract the necessary files from within it. II. Installing Dial-up Networking. If you already have a folder called Dial-Up Networking inside the My Computer icon folder skip this step. a. Click on MY COMPUTER, then CONTROL PANEL and then ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. b. Click on the tab labeled WINDOWS SETUP and highlight COMMUNICATIONS. c. Click on DETAILS and place a check mark next to DIAL-UP NETWORKING. d. Click OK, then OK again. If prompted to REBOOT, select NO. III. Installing Slip and Scripting for Dial-up Networking. a. Click on ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, and click the tab labeled WINDOWS SETUP. b. Click on HAVE DISK, and click on BROWSE. c. If using the Windows 95 CD-ROM, click the ARROW at the bottom right labeled DRIVES and choose your CD-ROM drive. Browsing the CD-ROM click ADMIN, then APPTOOLS, and DSCRIPT. Go to step 3 e. skipping 3 d. which is used if you downloaded the DSCRPT. EXE file. d. If you downloaded the DSCRPT. EXE file, click the ARROW at the bottom right labeled DRIVES and choose the drive the SLIP folder was created in. Click on the SLIP folder (make sure you ran the DSCRPT.EXE file already as stated in 1c). e. At this point you should see a file called RNAPLUS. INF highlighted in the left hand side of the OPEN box. Click OK and then OK again. f. Place a check mark in the box next to SLIP AND SCRIPTING FOR DIAL-UP NETWORKING. g. Click INSTALL, and click OK. h. If you are prompted to reboot, select NO. IV.

STEP THROUGH SCRIPT - Should NOT be checked. 2. START TERMINAL SCREEN MINIMIZED - Should NOT be checked at first. (You can check this after you verify your system consistently makes good connections.) Click on APPLY and click CLOSE. VIII. Making the Connection a. Click on MY COMPUTER, click on DIAL-UP NETWORKING. b. Click on your 'EPA CFEIS' icon, and click on CONNECT. c. Remember that you will NOT need to type your userid and password at this screen (CONNECT TO) since the User-ID and password are included in the script. d. The modem will then go through the login process. At NO point in this process should you have to Enter an IP Address or press Continue at any prompt. If this happens, something was not followed in this guide. Go back through and recheck everything especially the Script. e. You should now see a "Connected To" dialog box and it should be showing the amount of time connected. IF YOU CAN NOT GET CONNECTED, PLEASE READ THROUGH SECTION C. SECTION B- UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING FILES The above process established a PPP connection to the EPA computer. To transfer files (in either direction) you must employ software capable of transferring files using the FTP protocol. Windows 95 is shipped with WS_FTP Pro which is actually a pretty good program for FTP transfers. Other programs (such as Crosstalk) which support FTP may be used as well. However, the instructions below are for WS_FTP Pro only. IX. Setting up the FTP Software a. Click on Start, then Programs, then the WS-FTP Pro folder, and finally the WS-FTP95 Pro. (If the folder does not exist use the FIND applet under Start to search for FTP95PRO.EXE. If this does not exist, install it from the Windows 95 CD-ROM. b. Click NEW, and input the following information: 1. Profile Name: EPA CFEIS 2. Host Name: 204.47.208.13 3. Host Type: Automatic Detect 4. User ID: xxxxxxxxx (lower case only) OBTAIN FROM EPA 5. Password: xxxxxxxxx (lower case only) OBTAIN FROM EPA 6. Make sure that SAVE PASSWORD and AUTO SAVE CONFIG are both checked. c. Click on OK in the Session profile window. You will get an error if the PPP connection is not active, but the WS-FTP is now active. You may now start the PPP connection (if not already active), or exit the program until you want to upload or download files. d. To upload/download files, remember both the FTP and PPP connections must be active, it is best to get a good PPP connection and then launch the WS-FTP Pro program. Once the PPP connection is made, you need to initiate the 'connection' by pushing the CONNECT button on the WS-FTP interface and selecting EPA CFEIS in the Session Profile window. If the PPP connection is active, when you select OK in the Session Profile window, WS-FTP Pro will connect to, and query the EPA computer (you may see several seconds of intense activity in the status window. When WS-FTP Pro has completed the query the 'Remote Computer' window will become active, showing any files that reside in the directory that has been assigned to Hyundai. X. Uploading/Downloading Files a. With both FTP and PPP connections active, switch to WS_FTP Pro. b. Locate file you wish to transfer in the file window. If uploading to the EPA computer select the file(s) in the LOCAL SYSTEM window. If downloading from the EPA computer, select the file(s) from the REMOTE SYSTEM window. Multiple files can be selected by holding down the SHIFT key while selecting files. c. Once selected, click the appropriate arrow to copy the files from one 'window' to the other. d. The successful transfer will be noted in the message area at the bottom of the window. XI. Testing the System a. Open "Notepad" or other word processor and type a simple message such as "This is a test of the computer system". Save the file under an 8 character file name, with a 3 character extension, such as HMC-TEST.TXT. Remember to save the file under "text only" or "ASCII" format. b. Use method in Section II above to send file to EPA. c. If the system does not work properly check all settings and review Section C below. Try the system several times, sometimes the phone system at EPA has problems, so waiting an hour or so may "fix" the problem. SECTION C- SOLVING A CONNECTION PROBLEM (HELP SECTION) The problem being experienced may, or may not, be a fault of your side of the communication. It is appropriate to assume that it is on your side at first, because you will have just set-up your system, where EPA has had their system operational for some time. However, EPA has had many "little" problems with various manufacturers. Some manufacturers were able to connect with very little difficulty while others have had to "adjust" some of the settings. It is not known how your system will react, but the first assumption should be that there is something wrong in the set-up that was just performed. CAREFULLY check all parameters. A few suggestions below to help to troubleshoot the system. a. CHECK THE SET-UP GUIDE AGAIN. Please verify your settings are done as shown in Section A. This can not be stressed enough. Make sure you follow the guide EXACTLY as shown. b. CHECK YOUR NETWORK PROPERTIES. Make sure you only have the three properties, installed and listed in Section A (IV) (e). The three properties should only be Client for Microsoft Networks, Dial-up Adapter and TCP/IP. c. DELETE THE "EPA CFEIS" ICON. Many times there can be other processes associated with the Dial-Up Networking Icon that may cause problems. Try to delete the icon and recreate another one. d. REINSTALL THE NETWORK PROPERTIES. You may also want to remove the three Network properties: TCP/IP, Dial-Up Adapter and Client for Microsoft Networks, then Reboot; Re-add the properties and Reboot Again. e. LAN AND DIAL CONNECTIONS MAY CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER. Sometimes dial and LAN connections conflict with each other. If you have a LAN and dial connection you MUST contact your LAN Administrator to work out any conflicts. There is a program available to switch your TCP/IP settings, there is one called "TcpSwitch". You can search for the file name of "tcpswaa.zip" on the Internet if necessary. f. CHECK YOUR LOCAL ACCESS NUMBER. Obviously the phone number must be correct, including any international access codes. g. YOUR MODEM MAY ONLY ALLOW SOFTWARE ERROR CORRECTING. These modems have an RPI chipset and it is a 14.4 CLASS I modem. These modems do not support hardware error correction. Since the EPA service requires hardware error correction these modems are unreliable with the EPA system. The best way to find out if you have a SW error correcting modem is to call your modem manufacturer and ask them if your modem model is software error correcting. 1. YOUR MODEM MAY NEED A FIRMWARE UPGRADE. High end modems offer what is called a Firmware Upgrade (which can update your Error Correction protocols and sometimes increase your baud rate.) Contact your modem manufacturer for details. h. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD EXTRA MODEM COMMANDS: ADDING MODEM COMMANDS- You can add modem commands to your modem initialization or add a new command string by adding AT&F (factory defaults and added a new string.) To do this right click your connection icon, choose Properties and click Configure. Go to the tab Connection and click Advanced. The field is Extra Settings.
