select
an
item
of
interest, either News or Mailbox.
If
you so choose, you can also
include the selection
of
the item in the log-on sequence.
Briefly,
an
automatic log-on sequence consists
of
identifying the host's log-on prompts
and sending the correct responses.
The Model
100 uses a series
of
Key
Commands
to anticipate and answer the log-on
prompts. These commands, listed in Table 15-2 are used
as
part
of
any log-on
sequence.
TELCOM Auto Log-On Key Commands
Key
?
Meaning
Wait for a specified character
Pause for 2.0 seconds
Send a specific character
Causes the character after
A to be sent as
a "control" character (Le.,
AM
is the same
as
(ENTER))
Table 15·2
To log-on automatically, some
of
the Key Commands, along with the correct
responses
to
the prompts, must be inserted between the
<:
>-
symbols and stored along
with the telephone number in the ADRS.DO file.
After complying with the required responses, the log-on sequence should look like
this:
IS
:123-4567
<AM~M?U8768,453AM?PTwo-toneAM?
SNews"M):
This
is
an
explanation of how the above log-on sequence was determined:
1.
Access the ADRS.DO file and position the cursor over the symbol
>.
2. Referring back to the log-on sequence, you must first send two carriage returns.
Type
AM
AM
(the symbol Ais obtained by pressing
(SHIFT)
CU).
3.
Next, tell the Model 100
to
anticipate the first prompt from the host, User ID,
by
typing the Key Command ? (wait for a specific character) and then include a
single character from the prompt - we used the letter
U.
4.
Now, answer the prompt
by
typing your User
ID:
9768,453.
5. Enter your
ID
number by typing
AM.
You'll recall from the table of Key
Commands that
AM
is
the same as
(ENTER).
6. Tell the Model 100 to anticipate the next prompt, Password, by typing ?P, and
then type your response (Two-tone). Don't forget to enter this by typing
AM.
7.
If
you want to include the service you wish
to
access tell the Computer to wait
for the next prompt, What service?, by typing ?W, then follow this with News.
Again, you must enter this by typing
AM.
