6.Receive a message from the sending station, if any.

7.After completion of communication, press function key [F7] (WRU) key to receive the answerback code of the other station and then press function key [F8] (HR) key to transmit your own answerback code.

8.Press function key [F10] (BREAK) to disconnect the line.

5.6FEC Mode Operation

The FEC method of error correction is used when there is more than one receiving station, and no replies are required by the other station. Each message is sent twice, the characters of the first mes- sage interleaved with those of the second. The receiving station thus has two chances to receive each character correctly. If both characters are in error, an asterisk (*) is printed.

1.Press function key [F3].

2.Press the [1] key to display the Call Station menu.

3.Select a station which is registered for the FEC mode. Press the [Enter] key. CONNECT lights in inverse video.

4.Transmit message from a floppy disk as follows.

Press function key [F3] and the [2] key to open the Send screen.

Select file to send and press the [Enter] key.

5.After the message is transmitted, press function key [F10] (BREAK) to disconnect the line.
