Welcome to the
Asgard Connectivity Suite
The install process will copy and
install all of the Asgard ActiveX controls, example files, and
executable programs. After performing the install you will
probably want to run the emulator to make sure that everything
is installed and working correctly. In the rest of this readme
it is assumed that you installed the Asgard Connectivity Suite
into the default location of \program files\acs. If this is not the
case please adjust the instructions accordingly.
If you have any problems or
questions during this process please contact Asgard Software
support via email at support@asgardsw.com or phone +1 704 455
1660.
Asgard T27 Emulator
The Asgard Connectivity Suite
ships with a full featured T27 emulator written in Visual C++
and utilizing the MFC libraries. If you installed the full
toolkit, the source code for this emulator will be in the \asgardsw\acs\examples\mfc\t27
directory. Feel free to examine and or modify it.
As part of the install process
you should have gotten a program item installed for the Asgard
T27 Emulator. Use this item to execute the emulator. After the
emulator comes up do a ‘New’ command on the ‘File’ menu.
You will get a dialog box which will prompt you for the remote
host. Enter your Clearpath host name or ip address. If you want
to specify a particular station name to use, it should be
entered in the ‘Location’ box. After hitting ‘Ok’ you
should get an Clearpath logon screen. If you do, then the Asgard
Connectivity Suite is installed correctly. If you do not get
connected make sure you entered a valid host name or ip address.
If the host name doesn’t work try the ip address. If you still
do not get connected you may contact Asgard technical support at
support@asgardsw.com or phone 704 455 1660 in the United States.

The file transfer control
implements full asynchronous binary and text transfer between
the pc and your Clearpath. The Asgard File Transfer program was
added as a program item during the installation process. You may
run this to test the operation of the file transfer. Please note

transfer to work. Please see the section on "Installing
Asgard File Transfer Host Software" for a description of
this process. Below is listed the various examples that you may
use with the Asgard File Transfer control. An icon was added for

Installing Asgard File
Transfer Host Software
In order for the Asgard File
Transfer software to function correctly, a copy of the host
transfer software must be installed on each Clearpath that will
participate in file transfers. You will need to download the
upload program "xferupl.exe" which will install the host file
transfer software onto your Clearpath.
When you run "xferupl.exe"
it will prompt you for several pieces of information. Follow the
online instructions to upload the host software. After the software is uploaded you may
read the ASGARDXFER/README file that was uploaded to the
destination usercode/pack for a description of how to run the
host software.
