Using The Cat Over The Telephone; Dialing And Hanging - Canon Cat Reference Manual

Using the Cat Over the Telephone
Three commands
control telecommunications
on the Cat:
[SEND], [PHONE],
and
[SEND CONTROL]. Telecommuni-
cations refers
to
sending and
receiving text over phone
lines or
cables.
Receiving
is discussed on
page
68.
[SEND] is used to
send
highlighted
text over phone lines
or
cables.
IPHONE]
dials phone numbers, answers incoming calls
(from other
Cats or computers), or hangs up
the
phone at
the end of
a
telecommunications session. [PHONE] can also
dial numbers
forvoice communication,
but it
is
not used
to
answer
or hang up the phone
for
voice communications.
This
is
done in the usual manner, by
lifting
the
telephone's
receiver
and
putting it
down in its cradle.
[SEND
CONTROL] is used to send special characters some-
times
required by
computers
or
data services.
[SETUP] also exercises some
control over
telecommunica-
tions.
It
allows you
to
tum
on the autoanswer feature,
for
example,
which
enables the Cat
to
answer the
phone and
receive
messages
automatically.
[SETUP]
is
also used
to
control certain modem features
that
enable
the Cat
to
communicate
with
data
services
or
modem-equipped
computers.
