Main Menu Functions
Depending on the capabilities of the remote terminal, you may be
able to perform more sophisticated operations. Refer to your
terminal’s operating instructions. If your remote site is another
DeskMate, you can perform any of the operations available in
Telecom while in the Host mode. (See “Telecom” for more
information.)
Setting the Modem Status and Switches
Before you use Host, set the communication parameters on the
Status screen in the Telecom application. Also, define the Answer
Mode in Telecom. Refer to the “Telecom” chapter for details.
Generally speaking, at the host, modem switches should be set as
follows: POWER ON, ANSWER, AUTO (auto-dial), and TEST
OFF.
Refer to the more specific instructions for modems and modem
settings in Appendix B.
