1) Can send up to 32 e-mails at a time or continuously. Succeeding e-mail must be
transmitted after the completion of the previous one.

characters for "Subject" line.
3) Can send a message of which line does not exceed 1,000 characters.

transmission.

AP4.3 Precautions

1) Use "Text" format. "HTML" format increases message size, resulting in higher
communication charge.
2) Use 7-bit character code (half-size of letters and characters). Some LESs cannot
handle 8-bit characters. Refer to page AP4-34 for characters which the e-mail can
contain.
3) Set the minimum time interval (2 to 5 minutes) to check for new messages on a
regular basis. FELCOM 15 can store received messages up to 32 KB. New data
overwrites the oldest one.
4) Note that FELCOM 15 e-mail does not feature e-mail account management.
5) Communication log printed out includes sending and receiving e-mails from PCs in
the network.
6) Add the name of the attachment in the message. Some LES deliver the e-mail and
attachment separately. And the file name of the attachment is always ATTCH.
DAT.
7) Note that when the attachment is received separately from the mail, it is not
delivered to the mail address specified by a keyword, but to "Mail Address".
