Dancer Communications, Inc.
The voice mode of the Messenger 570 system utilizes a built-in voice enunciator that responds to
commands entered from any standard push-button tone-dialing telephone. You enter command codes
from the telephone keypad and response messages are spoken in English.
Voice Mode commands consist of a three-letter code followed by either the # or * key. The following
commands are available in the Voice Mode:
ALM# = Alarm acknowledge
BYE# = Terminate on-line session
INP# = Input report
OUT# = Output report
TIM# = System time report
VOX# = Custom Voice Phrase Report
For example, typing INP# initiates an INPut report:
GHI
4
MNO
6
PQR
7
#
I N P
To end a voice mode session, simply type BYE#.
„ Modem Mode
You can communicate with the Messenger 570 system using a PC with a modem and any popular
communications program having terminal emulation capability. One such communications program is
“Hyperterminal”, a program that is included free with the Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000 & NT operating
systems.
Since HyperTerminal is used throughout this manual to illustrate data mode operation, detailed instructions on
its use are included in this section.
Defining a HyperTerminal Connection
To use HyperTerminal, you must first define a few parameters including the phone number of the Messenger
570. To start HyperTerminal, click Start, and then click Programs, Accessories and Hyperterminal. Look for
an icon labeled HyperTerminal or Hypertrm.exe and click on it.
In the Connect Description box, type a name for the connection, choose an icon, then click OK.
In the Connect To box, enter the country/region, area code and phone number of the unit to be called and
choose your computer's modem from the Connect Using list (Note: if your modem is not listed in the Connect
Using list, it may not be installed properly). Click OK.
Click the Dialing Properties button to view information about the location of your computer. You may not
have to make any changes to this box, but make sure the information is correct. If your modem is attached to an
office phone system, you may need to enter a code (such as “9”) to access an outside line. Verify that the
Number to be dialed in the lower left corner of the box appears exactly as it would if you were to dial the
Messenger 570 from your telephone. It must not include any extraneous numbers. Click OK.
In the Connect box, click Cancel. It is now time to save your settings and exit the program. On the
HyperTerminal menu bar, select File, Save and then File, Exit.
