3.2.2 Preparing a confidential file

If communicating with another FURUNO FELCOM, you can prepare a
confidential message by entering "S???-addressee code(-password):" in the first
line of the message text. You can also receive confidential messages containing
this header from a land subscriber or any MES.
There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code
and message with both addressee code and password.
When the FELCOM 16 receives a confidential message, the message is neither
displayed nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a
confidential message, the recipient executes the procedure shown in paragraph
4.2.3.
Addressee code and password

password. The addressee code might be the title of the recipient; for example,
CAPTAIN. The password could be the classification of the message; for example,
SECRET.
