1 - Introduction ACOPY2 is a file transfer program by Eicon Technology working that uses CAPI 1.1 or 2.0 (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface). ACOPY2 is installed automatically during the installation of the Eicon Technology drivers that you need for your Eicon Technology ISDN adapter. ACOPY2 offers a save option for simple and quick data transfer of large files at a high speed (about 60 kbps or 7.5 KBps). Eicon Technology provides ISDN drivers for DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT. You can use ACOPY2 with all these operating systems. ACOPY2 is a command-line program. To use ACOPY2 with Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT you have to open a DOS box (see figure below). For OS/2 ACOPY2 is available in an OS/2 windows.
Start ACOPY2 from the directory in which your Eicon Technology drivers are installed. As ACOPY2 uses its own connection protocol, both sides of the connection have to use ACOPY2 for file transfer. One side has to be configured as server and the other as requester (see figure below). The ACOPY2 requester can then access the server either in Command-line mode on page 10 or in Online Mode on page 11.

Introduction
With the command line mode, the connection is established each time a command is issued. After execution of the command, the connection is closed automatically. With the online mode, the ISDN connection is established and stays open until it is closed with another command. Thus, you can send commands directly to the ACOPY2 server. A timer closes the connection automatically two minutes after the last operation if you haven’t closed it before with the corresponding command. The ACOPY2 Server and ACOPY2 Requester offer following features:
•
Copy files to, or from, the remote server via a command line
•
Remote control of PCs with the commands dir, md, rd, and del that are available at the remote PC.
ACOPY/ACOPY2 There are two versions of the ACOPY2 tool which offer identical features:
•
ACOPY which is based on CAPI 1.1 (only DOS and OS/2)
•
ACOPY2 which is based on CAPI 2.0 (Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT)
To use ACOPY/ACOPY2 ensure that either CAPI 1.1 or CAPI 2.0 is available after installation of the Eicon Technology drivers. The commands and features of ACOPY and ACOPY2 are identical. The only difference is in the naming of the program. Thus, start all commands for ACOPY with acopy and for ACOPY2 with acopy2. For clarity, this guide refers only to ACOPY2. With a few noted exceptions, ACOPY can be used simply by entering acopy instead of acopy2.
