Keyboard dialing

455

Prompts requiring a Yes or No answer are terminated by a question mark
(?), followed by a list of allowable responses. The default response, if
allowed, is bracketed.

Call abort

In addition to the methods mentioned above, which are common to both
Hayes and keyboard modes, keyboard dialing supports the following method
to abort a call during the dialogue phase.

Sending the Control Z character (simultaneously pressing the control
and Z keys) sends a message to the DAC to immediately abandon the
data call setup.

Autobaud

All user dialogue must begin with Autobaud detection. This allows the DAC
to determine the user equipment baud rate. During this phase, only <CR>
is recognized by the DAC. All other entries are ignored, and no entries are
echoed. Once a valid <CR> is detected, the DAC responds with the New
Menu prompt at the baud rate detected. If a fixed rate is determined by the
downloaded parameters, the DAC looks for that rate. If the rates agree, the
dialogue phase begins. If not, the following prompt is sent to the user:

Baud Rate xxxx expected

After receiving a number of invalid responses, the DAC reverts to autobaud
detection, since the terminal data speed may change.

Keyboard Autobaud is allowed after the call is placed in off-line mode.

Note: If the Hayes autobaud characters A or a are sent, the DAC
enters Hayes dialing mode. Autobaud character detection is selected
in the software.

Auto parity

The user can override the downloaded parity rate by entering the ASCII
period (.) as a command. This period must be the only command sent,
followed by <CR>. The period must be sent only when the Primary menu is
displayed, and can be sent only once during a call setup session.

Dialing operation

For the purposes of this document, when illustrating the prompt/response
sequences, the bold type is what the user enters on the keyboard. All
other type represents the DAC output. Likewise, "xxxxxxx," "yyyyyyy," or
"zzzzzzz" represents numbers entered by the user, or dialed by the DAC,
and in no way indicates the absolute character limit. A maximum of 43
characters is allowed.
