DATA CONNECTION
1 Introduction
This chapter will give a guideline on how to connect a PC or desktop computer, running either
Windows 2000
®
or Windows XP
®
, to a terminal to enable the transfer of packet data.
Note: When the computer is being connected to the terminal, the terminal must be powered off.
Powering up the terminal after connection will initiate the ‘Handshake’ procedure between the com-
puter and terminal.
2 Status Message
Status messaging is a ‘Point to Point’ short data service terminal application that enables a user to
transmit predefined status messages to either a default location such as a dispatcher, or to a
targeted user (Target Status).
The status message sent is actually a number (the status message ID) that is associated with the
message. The message and its ID must be preprogrammed in both the sender and receiver
equipment for the transfer to work correctly.
To be able to use this feature, it must first be enabled via the CPS - see Chapter 3, Paragraph 14.2
"Status".
3 Mail Message (SMS)
Mail messageing is an application that enables the terminal to send and receive text messages.
To be able to use this feature, it must first be enabled via the CPS - see Chapter 3, Paragraph 14.9
"MS User Application Support Pre-defined Template", Paragraph 14.10 "Mail In", & Paragraph 14.11
"Mail Out".
