Using Communications 1. Setting up: Communicating through a modem is very similar to a telephone conversation between two people. In order to make the conversation possible, some rules must be observed. For example, both persons will speak the same language and will agree to speak one at a time. When communicating through modems, some parameters like baud rate and parity must have the same setting at each end of the line. When you subscribe to an information service, you receive a list of the settings that you are required to use. If you use different settings, the host computer can not communication with your Whisperwriter. Before you try to communicate with a friend, simply agree on the settings that you will use. For more details about the setting, see "New Set Up" on page 163, 2. Being dialed: The COMMUNICATION screen of your system must be displayed on the screen when someone is dialing you. If you are working with your system or if you are already communicating with someone, your system cannot be dialed. 3. Dialing: This machine performs automatic dialing. This means that you type the phone number on the screen instead of dialing the phone number on the telephone. An information service can usually be dialed at any time. The same is not always true when transferring a file to a friend's personal computer. Before dialing a friend, call them to make sure that their computer is ready. For more details about dialing, see "Dial" on page 168. 4. Auto log-in: The log-in data contains the information that allows an information service to identify you. This machine records the log-in data as you enter it on the screen when requested to do so by the information service. Once the log-in data has been recorded, the machine will automatically transmit it after dialing. 5. Transmitting/Receiving: Once you are connected, the text that you type is transmitted and the text that is received is displayed on your screen. Optionally, the text transmitted can be "echoed" back to your screen for confirmation. You can transmit the contents of a Document file or store the information received in a memory file. For more details about sending and receiving files, see "Send WP Text" on page 170 and "Receive ASCII File" on page 172. Communication 158
