3-6 Operating Characteristics
The Host can also attempt to establish communications by sending S1F13. The
Equipment will accept the message and respond with S1F14 and the Communication
State will change to COMMUNICATING.
In ENABLED state, the GES-1993 will accept messages from the Host, but will
ignore any messages except S1F13 and S1F14. The GES-1993 will respond to the
S1F13 while the Communication State is ENABLED or COMMUNICATING, but it
will not send S1F13 once communications have been established.
3.1.2 Power Up
At Power Up (or System Start), the Equipment Constant INITCOMMSTATE (vid
7) controls whether state is initialized to DISABLED or ENABLED. The factory
setting is DISABLED.
3.1.3 Related Variables
The following table lists the variables (SV's, EC's, or DVVALS) which are relevant
to establishing communications . For a more complete description of these variables,
see "Appendix A -- Variables".

3.1.4 Compatibility
If the Host intends to use the Control State Off-Line feature, CONFIGCONNECT
should always be set to S1F13/14.
