When manual modem control is attempted, the user terminal is in
effect connected directly to the modem for control purposes. This is
called transparent mode. When in transparent mode, you must take
responsibility for modem control, and for informing the system of
when connection has taken place.
If manual mode selection is made in response to the Is the modem
already connected prompt, the following dialog takes place:
Manual mode displays all prompts as in system mode, through the
Enter System ID Number. After the ID number has been
entered, the system prompts:
Manually call CSO and when you are Connected,
exit the Transparent Mode
Escape character: $01=^A
Enter the dial command for the modem (such as atdt). Enter Ctrl-a
when connection is made or if for any reason a connection cannot
be made. Because the system has no knowledge of the status of the
system when transparent mode is exited, it asks:
Did you make the connection (Y/N)?
If you answer Y to the question, the system then continues with a
normal dialog with the remote system, which would be for the
remote system to send the banner message followed by a request
for concurrent mode operation (the concurrent operation of a
modem connected terminal and the system console). If N is the
response, the system asks:
Terminate CSO conversation (Y/N)?
Enter Y to re-enter transparent mode and prompt:
Manually hang up the modem and when you are done,
exit the transparent mode
Escape character: $01 = ^A
The system is now in normal operation, and the menu is
redisplayed.
