ASCII CODE
Your TDD has a special feature that allows you to communicate with others who do not have Baudot
TDD, but instead have a home computer or computer terminals and with those who have TDDs
equipped with ASCII. You may also use your TDD to communicate with Relay Service.
The PortaView Plus with ASCII is setup to automatically communicate in ASCII in the following
modes.
• 300 Baud • Half Duplex • Originate
It can also be changed to the following modes:
• 110 or 300 Baud • Half or Full Duplex • Answer or Originate
When calling a computer service to receive information, your TDD should be setup as follows:
• 300 Baud • Full Duplex • Originate
It is best to use your TDD in direct connect, whenever possible. However, acoustically coupled
operation is normally acceptable as well.
TO CHANGE MODE SETTINGS
You will remain in the preset
ASCII mode.
You are going to change the
preset mode
Yes; chooses Half Duplex.
No; chooses Full Duplex
Yes; chooses 300 Baud.
No; chooses 110 Baud.
Yes; chooses Originate mode.
No; chooses Answer mode.
After the three selections have been made, the selected modes are displayed.
Example: If the last three question have been answered with N, the displayed will read 110 BAUD,
FULL, ANS.
NOTE: The display will automatically change form the normal direction (right-to-left) to left-to-right) in the
ASCII mode.
REMEMBER: When using ASCII for TDD-to-TDD, your PortaView Plus is preset in the correct modes; the only
change that may be needed would be the selection of ORIGINATE or ANSWER mode.
