|
|
+ all others with weird thoughts and ideas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The craft.
|
|
|
|
Although its called a Craft Access Terminal, the craft hardly
|
|
represents a standard computer terminal. It is in actually a lineman's
|
|
handset with a built in terminal and 1200 baud modem. The unit looks
|
|
like a handset on steroids measuring 12.5" in length. The ones in our
|
|
particular area were bright yellow and looks like a rejected Sesame
|
|
Street prop. We have reports that they also made them in a blue color as
|
|
well though we have yet to see one in use in our area.
|
|
|
|
The unit features a 4 line x 16 character LCD display, and a
|
|
joystick with a plunger on the top. You will find a diagram of the unit
|
|
with descriptions in brackets.
|
|
|
|
These units are possibly being phased out in a few areas and
|
|
have been found at telco auctions as well as from surplus stores. They
|
|
could be replacing these yellow units with the blue units (Which have
|
|
the same basic descriptions yet are newer. The crafts we have found were
|
|
severely worn). We have also heard they were being replaced with a
|
|
Access-2 terminal (rumored to represent a HP-95lx palmtop; Fold open,
|
|
larger LCD screen).
|
|
|
|
This is essentially the entire uncopywritten manual to the
|
|
terminal. The unit can be somewhat confusing at first due to a somewhat
|
|
weird menu layout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, to avoid confusion:
|
|
|
|
- The page numbers are located at the bottom of the pages. You may wish
|
|
to add pagefeeds and space out the page numbers to the bottom of the
|
|
page if you want to print it out and stick it in your phreakers binder
|
|
or whatever.... The line is meant for the top of each page... As there
|
|
is a line at the top in the real manual.

Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Two battery packs, a charger and a short charger adaptor cord
|
|
should be in the box with the Craft Access Terminal. Before
|

|
|
battery pack must be charged before use. For directions on how
|
|
to charge and insert the battery pack, look at the section of
|
|
the instructions called "The Craft Access Terminal's Battery
|
|
Pack." This section begins on page 6.

The Craft Access Terminal's Battery Pack
|
|
|
|
You must charge the terminals battery pack at least once every
|
|
day. It may take up to twelve hours for a full charge if the
|
|
battery pack has run down completely. Also, before the first
|
|
use, each battery pack should be charged for 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
To do this, insert the plug at the other end of the cord
|
|
attached to the charger into the socket at the transmitter end
|
|
of the Craft Access Terminal. Plug the charger at the end of
|
|
the cord into an electrical outlet. The red light on the
|
|
charger should be lit if it is charging properly. However, the
|
|
light will not go out if the battery is fully charged. It is
|
|
advisable to keep the extra battery pack charged so you can
|
|
use it if the battery pack in the terminal you're using runs
|
|
down. To charge the spare battery pack, plug the charger
|
|
adapter cord, (the short cord included with the charger) into
|
|
the pack. Plug the other end of the adapter cord into the
|
|
charger, and plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION
|
|
|
|
The charger should only be used indoors and only for charging
|
|
Craft Access Terminal.
|
|
|
|
In the battery pack runs out of power while you are using the
|
|
terminal, the pack can be removed and the charged pack can be
|
|
inserted. To do this, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the Battery Pack Compartment
|
|
Loosen the screw to open the battery cover. Do not hold
|
|
down battery compartment cover while loosening the
|
|
screw.
|
|
|
|
2. Remove the Battery Pack
|
|
Lift out battery pack. Unsnap the battery pack from the
|
|
connector.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Insert the Battery Pack
|
|
Snap the charged battery pack into the connector.
|
|
Slide the battery pack into the Craft Access Terminal.
|
|
Close the battery cover. Don't forget to tighten
|
|
the screw.
|
|
|
|
How Long Will the Craft Access Terminal Stay Charged?
|
|
|
|
At normal temperatures, the Craft Access Terminal will
|
|
operate for approximately 12 hours after being charged.
|
|
|
|
The Craft Access Terminal can be used in warm or cold
|
|
temperatures. You should keep in mind however, that the
|
|
battery pack will be drained faster in cold weather. At -20
|
|
degrees Fahrenheit, it may last only 8-10 hours.
|
|
|
|
The battery pack in the Craft Access Terminal should no be
|
|
charged at temperatures less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
|
|
|
|
Battery Pack Life
|
|
|
|
The battery pack can be charged many times, providing a
|
|
working life of about 5 years. The four digit number stamped
|
|
on the end of the battery is its date of manufacture.

Connecting to a Working Pair
|
|
|
|
|
|
Monitor the Line
|
|
Before connecting to a pair, set the switch at the Monitor
|
|
(center) position.
|
|
|
|
Connect Cord and Clips
|
|
Attach cord clips to tip and ring. If you hear a conversation,
|
|
select another pair. You should hear dial tone when connected
|
|
to an available working pair.
|
|
|
|
* Connect at a standard terminal point whenever possible to avoid
|
|
puncturing the insulation; holes made in insulation by clips
|
|
can lead to later corrosion problems
|
|
|
|
Alternately, dial tone can also be obtained by inserting a
|
|
modular cord as shown on page 2. Do not insert line cord to
|
|
modular jack and connect to tip and ring at the same time. It
|
|
will not work.
|
|
|
|
Move back to monitor to increase or decrease volume. To
|
|
increase the volume, move the Pointer along the right side
|
|
until the arrow (>) in next to "increase volume" and then
|
|
press the Pointer.
|
|
|
|
To decrease the volume, point to the third line, and press.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the terminal to listen for noise on the
|
|
line, point to the second line and press. This puts the
|
|
terminal in the "quiet" mode so that very low levels of noise
|
|
can be detected.
|
|
|
|
Notice that the top line on this screen can't be selected. To
|
|
indicate this, the first space on the line contains a bar.
|
|
(I).
|
|
|
|
You can now make an ordinary telephone call be moving the
|
|
switch to Talk (see Making a Telephone Call) or call a
|
|
computer by moving the switch to Data (see Calling a
|
|
Computer).

Making a Telephone Call
|
|
|
|
|
|
Move the switch from Monitor to Talk Position
|
|
|
|
|
|
Monitor the line to be sure it isn't in use. If no one is
|
|
talking on the line, move the switch from Monitor to Talk.
|
|
|
|
Telephone Number Entry and Correction
|
|
|
|
If the line is good, you will hear a dial tone. You can enter
|
|
the number you want to call through the keypad. If a number is
|
|
already filled in, you can call that number, or, if you want
|
|
to call a different number, erase the number that is on the
|
|
screen by pressing * on the Touch-tone pad, and enter another
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
* If the (*) is entered as the first character, it will not
|
|
erase unless another (*) us entered.
|
|
|
|
The small flashing bar is called the cursor. The cursor will
|
|
appear where a number must be entered.
|
|
|
|
As each digit to the telephone number is filled in, it will
|
|
appear where the cursor was, and the cursor will move one
|
|
space to the right. Enter a pound (#) between digits to
|
|
indicate a 2-second pause in dialing where required (to wait
|
|
for a second dial tone behind a PBX number, for example). For
|
|
a longer pause, press pound (#) several times.

-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the correct phone number is shown, move the Pointer to the
|
|
right side (anywhere along the right side will do) and press.
|
|
If you need to rotary dial, select the last line with the
|
|
Pointer before you press. The Craft Access Terminal will dial
|
|
the number. You can re-dial by moving the Pointer to the right
|
|
side and pressing again.
|
|
|
|
The Craft Access Terminal will save the telephone number and it
|
|
will appear the next time the switch is moved to the Talk
|
|
position.
|
|
|
|
You can listen as the Craft Access Terminal dials the number.
|
|
If you hear a busy signal after dialing is completed, or if no
|
|
one answers the call, disconnect by moving the switch to the
|
|
Monitor position.
|
|
|
|
Call in Progress and Volume Control
|
|
|
|
When dialing is completed, this screen appears. Use the
|
|
Pointer the increase or decrease the volume of the receiver,
|
|
or to mute the trans mitter to listen only.
|
|
|
|
The volume level is indicated by the number of filled spaces on
|
|
the increase volume line. One filled space for minimum volume,
|
|
four for maximum.

Disconnecting
|
|
|
|
Moving the switch to the Monitor position will end the phone
|
|
call, and this screen will appear.
|
|
|
|
Be sure to move the switch to the Monitor position after
|
|
disconnecting. This will conserve battery power as the
|
|
terminal drains the least amount of power in the monitor mode.
|
|
|
|
If you are accidentally disconnected, move the switch to the
|
|
Monitor position and start again.

|
|
|
Telephone Number Entry and Correction
|
|
|
|
You can enter the number you want to call through the keypad.
|
|
If a number is already filled in, you can call that number,
|
|
or, if you want to call a different number, erase the number
|
|
on screen by pressing the asterisk (*) on the Touch-tone pad,
|
|
and fill in another number.
|
|
|
|
The cursor will appear where a number must be entered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fill in the computer's telephone number if it isn't already
|
|
shown. Put a pound (#) between digits to indicate a 2-second
|
|
pause in dialing where required (to wait for a second dial
|
|
tone behind a PBX number, for example). For a longer pause,
|
|
press pound (#) several times.

|
|
|
|
When the correct phone number is shown, move the Pointer to

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Indications that the Call is Successful
|
|
|
|
If the call to the Craft Access System computer is successful,
|
|
you will hear a tone on the line. When the Craft Access
|
|
Terminal detects that tone, the tone will stop and a screen
|
|
like this will appear.
|
|
|
|
In some cases the call may not be successful. If you retry a
|
|
few times and still have difficulty, try connecting your cord
|
|
to another working pair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Password Entry
|
|
|
|
Before you send or receive any computer information, you may
|
|
need to fill in a numeric password to identify yourself and a
|
|
number to identify your terminal. Your password can be used
|
|
only with your Craft Access Terminal. Fill in your password
|
|
on the keypad. If you make a mistake press the asterisk (*)
|
|
to erase the password and start over. The cursor will return
|
|
to the place where the password must be filled in.
|
|
|
|
The Terminal Identification number is located below the
|
|
transmitter (see page 2).
|
|
|
|
When the correct numbers are filled in, move the Pointer to
|
|
the right side (anywhere along the right side will do) and
|
|
press. The Craft Access Terminal will send your password to
|
|
the computer.

Working with the Craft Access System Computer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each line on a screen is either:
|
|
|
|
- information
|
|
|
|
- a space in which information can be filled in
|
|
|
|
- a choice that can be selected
|
|
|
|
|
|
This screen is an example. Information can be read on the first
|
|
line, a number is to be entered on the second line, and you
|
|
can make a choice between the last two lines. Lines that don't
|
|
contain selectable choices begin with a bar (I). Those that
|
|
are selectable choices begin with a blank space.
|
|
|

This is an example of an explanation. A bar (I) appears to the
|
|
left of every line and there is a page number in the top right
|
|
corner of the screen. This page is numbered 1/2, indicating
|
|
that it is the first page of two pages of information. the
|
|
second page will be numbered 2/2.
|
|
|
|
To read the next page of Help, move the Pointer to the right
|
|
side (anywhere along the right side will do) and press.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to re-read pages, point to REVIEW (move the Pointer
|
|
to the bottom center position and press) to go back one page
|
|
at a time.
|
|
|
|
When you are ready to go back to the screen where you
|
|
originally requested help, point to BACK (move the Pointer to
|
|
the top center and press).

Reading Information Stored in the Craft Access Terminal
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the information sent to you from the computer may be
|
|
stored in the Craft Access Terminal in case you need it again
|
|
later, even if your terminal is disconnected as long as its
|
|
battery pack is charged. If you want to see stored
|
|
information, move the switch to either Monitor or Voice and
|
|
point to REVIEW (move the Pointer to the bottom center and
|
|
press).
|
|
|
|
|
|
A list containing the major categories of information currently
|
|
stored in your Craft Access Terminal will appear on the
|
|
screen. To select a category, move the Pointer along the right
|
|
side until the arrow (>) is beside the category that you want
|
|
to select and then press the Pointer.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes an item that you have selected leads to another list.
|
|
Make a selection from this list in the same way you did on the
|
|
previous list. To quit reading, point to BACK (move the
|
|
Pointer to the top center and press). To reread pages of
|
|
stored information, point to REVIEW (move the Pointer to the
|
|
bottom center position) and then press the Pointer.

Filling in Information on the Craft Access Terminal
|
|
|
|
If a screen contains a space where a number can be filled in,
|
|
the cursor will be blinking at the space. If there is already
|
|
a number in the space you may want to change it. If you decide
|
|
to use the number that is already shown, point to NEXT (move
|
|
the Pointer to any position on the right side and press).
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the number, press the asterisk (*) to
|
|
erase the wrong number, then fill in the number you want.
|
|
|
|
When the desired number is shown, point to NEXT (move the
|
|
Pointer to any position on the right side and press).

|
Sometimes you may need to return to a screen to correct an
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
When you point to BACK (move the Pointer to the top center and
|
|
press), the cursor will appear at the beginning of the first
|
|
place where information was filled in.
|
|
|
|
Press the asterisk (*) on the keypad to erase the entered
|
|
number or make a correction by typing over the incorrect
|
|
number with the correct number.

If there are several spaces to be filled in on one screen, move
|
|
the Pointer along the right side of the control to point to
|
|
each location where you can enter information. Don't press the
|
|
Pointer until you have filled in all the required information.
|
|
|
|
If a space where information can be filled in is preceded with
|
|
an asterisk (*), the information is optional and the space may
|
|
be left without an entry.
|
|
|
|
After you have filled in all of the information you need, point
|
|
to NEXT (move the Pointer to any position on the right side
|
|
and press).
|
|
|
|
Display of the asterisk is actually controlled by the Craft
|
|
Access System computer. Keep in mind that this can change.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the Craft Access System will allow you to enter the
|
|
letters and punctuation marks to fill in the information that
|
|
is needed. Whenever this is the case, this screen is
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
Entering Alphabetical and Numeric Characters
|
|
|
|
Letters, numbers and punctuation marks are entered from the
|
|
keypad. All characters you enter appear on the screen.
|
|
|
|
Each key is used to enter four different characters as labeled
|
|
on the key; except for the [#] key. The [SP] on the [#] key is
|
|
used to enter a space between two words.
|
|
|
|
Two easy methods can be used to enter characters:
|
|
|
|
- Method 1: Press and hold down the key with the desired
|
|
character. Look at the display while holding down the key.
|
|
You will see each character labeled on that key appear one
|
|
after the other. When the desired character appears, release
|
|
the key and that character will remain on the screen, and the
|
|
cursor will advance to the next position.
|
|
|
|
- Method 2: There is no need to continuously watch the screen
|
|
with this method. Instead of holding down the key you rapidly
|
|
tap the key a number of times equal to the position of the
|
|
desired character on that key.
|
|
|
|
For example, tap the [6] key three times to enter [N]; tap
|
|
the [3] key three times to enter [E]; tap the [9] key twice
|
|
to enter [w] and tap the [#] key twice to enter a space.
|
|
|
|
A blinking dark block on the screen indicates you have entered
|
|
you last character.

Erasing a Character, an Entire Line or more.
|
|
|
|
If you want to erase a character, push the pointer to the left
|
|
and press once. Holding the pointer down it will continue to
|
|
erase characters one at a time until it is released.
|
|
|
|
Sending Your Message to the Computer
|
|
|
|
When you are through entering the message, move the pointer to
|
|
the right and press it to send your message. The cursor should
|
|
stop blinking to indicate that your message has been sent.

Taking Care of Your Terminal
|
|
|
|
1. To avoid damaging the Craft Access Terminal
|
|
|
|
- Don't drop the terminal. During the work day, the Craft
|
|
Access Terminal should be in the cab of your vehicle or
|
|
clipped to your tool belt when not in use
|
|
|
|
- Don't unnecessarily expose the terminal to dust, sand,
|
|
water, or salt air.
|
|
|
|
2. Problems Caused by Extreme Temperatures
|
|
|
|
Heat
|
|
|
|
The Craft Access Terminal can be damaged by extreme Heat.
|
|
DON'T LEAVE IT ON THE DASH OF YOUR VEHICLE.
|
|
|
|
Cold
|
|
|
|
Cold is less likely to damage the terminal. However, the
|
|
screen won't work properly at temperatures less than -20
|
|
degrees Fahrenheit. If you must use your terminal in colder
|
|
temperatures, you can use it for about 20 minutes in the
|
|
cold, then place it somewhere warm for 15 to 30 minutes and
|
|
then use it in the cold again.
|
|
|
|
3. Problems Caused by Water, Condensation, and High Humidity.
|
|
|
|
Don't expose the terminal to water; especially avoid dropping
|
|
the terminal in water. If it does get wet, dry it immediately.
|
|
The Craft Access Terminal will work in rain or snow, but
|
|
should be wiped dry whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
4. How to store the Craft Access Terminal and spare batteries.
|
|
|
|
When not in use, the Craft Access Terminal or spare battery
|
|
pack should be connected to the charger.
|
|
|
|
5. Under some abnormal conditions, the terminal may lock itself
|
|
into an incorrect state. To "reset" the terminal, simply
|
|
insert the battery charger plug into the charge jack, then
|
|
remove. CAUTION: This will erase any stored information.

Few last notes:
|
|
|
|
The real Craft handsets do not have a power switch, they just
|
|
sit on all of the time. So we could also add a power switch to
|
|
ours.
|
|
|
|
The Craft handset uses a 1200 baud modem, but seems to be
|
|
incompatible with standard modems...
