Polling Transmission
Use Polling Transmission when you wish to leave a document in the memory for
others to pick up.
You cannot specify the telephone number of the polling terminal (the terminal that
you wish to poll your document), but using the ID Code there are ways to make
sure that the message does not go to the wrong place, as explained below.
There are three types of Polling Transmission.
Free Polling:
Anybody can poll the message from the polled machine’s memory.
Secured Polling:
The message will only be sent out if the ID Code of the polling
machine is the same as the ID Code stored in the polled machine.
Stored ID Override:
There are two ways to use this feature:
❐
If your ID Code is different from that of the other terminal, you can use the
other terminal’s ID Code just for this transmission (ask the other terminal’s
operator what their ID Code is). Your machine’s stored ID Code will be ignored.
❐
For extra security, both parties can specify an ID Code just for this
communication. The ID Codes of both machines will be ignored. All
communicating parties need to coordinate their ID Codes in this case.
Only one document can be stored in the memory for Free Polling, and only one
can be stored for Secured Polling. However, with Stored ID Override, you can
store more than one file, but you must use a different ID for each file.
Secured Polling and Stored ID Override can only be used between terminals
produced by the same manufacturer.
