Use this function if you want to poll a message from another terminal. Further-
more, you can poll documents from many terminals with only one operation
(use Groups and Keystroke programs to fully exploit this feature).
There are two types of polling reception: Default ID and Override ID.
Default ID Polling Reception (Free Polling Reception)
Use this method for Free Polling or Default ID Polling.
If the Polling ID is programmed in your machine, any messages waiting in
the transmitting machine with the same ID are received.
If the other machine does not have any messages waiting with the same
Polling ID, any messages that do not require ID are received (Free Polling).
Override ID Polling Reception
You must enter an Override Polling ID unique to this transmission. This ID
overrides that stored in the Polling ID.
Your machine will receive any messages waiting in the transmitting machine
with matching ID's. If no ID's match, any messages that do not require ID are
received (Free Polling).
Restrictions
Polling Reception requires that the other machine can perform Polling Transmission.
To receive a message sent by any Polling Transmission, it is necessary to specify the
same polling ID as the sender's.
To receive a message sent by Default ID Polling Transmission or Override ID Polling
Transmission, the sender must use a machine of the same make that has the Polling
capability. In Free Polling Reception, a message can be also received from other
manufacturers' machines as long as it they have Polling capability.
A Polling ID may be any four numbers (0 to 9) and characters (A to F) except 0000
and FFFF.
