Answer Text
Appears when the KYBD Dialing field is y. This option enables text fe edback that
is normally delivered to the DTE when a call is answered or disconnected. The
Answer Text option applies to DLC-generated text as well as text received from
the system. If this option is disabled, the sy stem still generates the text, but the
DLC prevents it from being sent to the device.
This applies to the following messages:
— INCOMING CALL
— ANSWERED
— DISCONNECTED
— DISCONNECTED OTHER END
This option usually is disabled when the answering DTE is a computer or an
intelligent device.
Parity
Appears when the KYBD Dialing field is y. Select the desired type of parity. The
DLC generates the parities when call setup text is sent to the DTE. The DLC does
not check the parity when receiving dialing characters. Parity has nothing to do
with the far end; it is used by the DLC to terminal communications during call
setup. Set to match the connected DTE.
Connected Indidation
Appears when the KYBD Dialing field is y. This option generates a
“CONNECTED” message to the DTE when the connection has been established.
If the KYBD Dialing field is n, the connected indication is provided by the DLC
activating its EIA 232C control lead.
