General description 3
KBD displays a menu of features on the data terminal. A user enters a
number to be dialed or selects a feature from the menu. KBD prompts
the user for any additional information and displays call progress
messages or error condition messages, all in English phrases. Once
the system establishes the data call, KBD becomes inactive. When the
system disconnects the call, KBD resumes operation.
A subset of the keyboard dialing as defined by the Hayes
SMARTMODEM also provides user interaction with the MADO. This
capability allows the MADO to be used with personal computer
software packages based on a Hayes-type keyboard dialing command
protocol.
However, because Hayes Keyboard Dialing does not support call
features like Speed Call and Ring Again, MADO supports both types of
keyboard dialing. This support allows Hayes Keyboard Dialing to be
used when use of the Hayes-type keyboard dialing command protocol
is necessary. It also allows Meridian SL-100 KBD to be used in all other
instances.
The escape code character, the escape code guard time, the wait time
for carrier, and the auto-answer status set for Hayes Keyboard Dialing
affect Meridian SL-100 KBD. The wait time for carrier (set in S-register
12) determines the timeout length for response from activated features
from Meridian SL-100 KBD. (Refer to the chapter, "Keyboard dialing".)
The escape code character defaults to "+", and the escape code guard
time defaults to one second for both keyboard dialing types. These
values can be modified for both dialing types in S-registers 2 and 12.
Auto-answer can be set up from either keyboard dialing type.
