The 5 (PHONE) key allows the controller to call the selected phone number and say the selected voice message.

PHONE NUMBER: 1-8

Select a phone number (1-8) from the dial menu, then press ' # ':

SECURITY OFF	↓
ENTER MESSAGE

You may enter the message number followed by the ' # ' key, or simply press the down arrow key to scroll through a list of messages. Press the ' # ' key to dial the number and say the selected voice message.

Send Message (Pro-Link)

The 6 (SEND) key allows you to send any of the text messages through the Pro-Link serial port. You are first prompted to specify the desired serial port.

SERIAL PORT: 1-4

The built-in serial ports (J1-J3) on the controller are assigned to Serial Port 1 - Serial Port 3, respectively. Serial port 4 is a Serial Interface Module connected to the Expansion port on the controller.

Next, select the message to be sent. You may enter the message number followed by the ' # ' key to send that message, or simply press the down arrow key to scroll through a list of messages. Press the ' # ' key to send the selected message:

MSGNAME
ENTER MESSAGE:	↓

The message is sent out through the specified Pro-Link port exactly as the message was entered in Setup Names Message.

Carriage returns and line feed characters are not automatically appended to the end. To send ASCII control as part of the message, use the caret "^" character in the message. This character specifics that the next character is to be interpreted as an ASCII control character, such as "^M" to represent a carriage return.

Other useful sequences would be "^J" for a line feed character and "^G" for a bell character. To include an actual "^" character in the message, enter it twice as in "^^".

Each message can be up to 15 characters long. To send a longer message, simply program two messages to be sent one after the other.

Pro-Link also has the capability to monitor the serial port for incoming text messages. When a text message is received, Pro-Link searches through all 128 messages for a matching message. If one is found, the Program Command (macro) corresponding to the matching message is activated.

When receiving an ASCII message that is over 15 characters, HMS 1100 only processes the last 15 characters of the message.

Pro-Link determines that a message has been received when:

•One or more characters have been received followed by 100 ms of silence

•One or more characters followed by a carriage return character are received

•One or more characters followed by a line feed character are received

It is not necessary to enter the terminating carriage return or line feed character as part of the message name.
