The displays that appear next depend on whether you're using a disksystem or a cassette recorder. =====File Transfer from Diskette===== If you indicate that the transfer will take place from a TI Disk MemoryDrive, the module asks you to enter the name of the file you wish totransfer to the other system. Make sure that the diskette with thedesired file is inserted into the proper disk drive. Then type the filename and press '''ENTER'''. (Note that you do not need to include the diskdrive number as part of the file name. For example, a file namedTEST80 that's located in Disk Drive One is simply entered as TEST80.) If the file that you are transferring is a program file, is in internalformat, or has variable-length records, the file transfer startsautomatically. If not, the module 􀁈sks dsks whether the file should be sent as7-bit data or 8-bit data. If the file only contains data with standardASCII upper and lower case letters and punctuation (no controlcharacters), select option 1 for 7 Bit Data. If the file includes ASCIIcontrol characters, select option 2 for 8 Bit Data. The file transferrequires less time with the 7-bit option than it does with the 8-bitoption. Once you select the data bits, the file transfer begins. Note: Filesstored on diskette which have variable-length records or an internalformaJ format file are automatically sent as 8-bit data. For a description of what takes place next, see "File Transfer inProgress." =====File Transfer from Cassette===== If you indicate that the transfer will take place from a cassette recorder, the module asks you to enter the record size that you used when creating the data file. Type a number (up to 192) to indicate the record size, and press '''ENTER'''. Next, the module asks you to indicate whether the file is to be sent as 7-bit data or 8-bit data. (The difference between these two options is explained in "File Transfer from Diskette.") Select option 1 for 7 Bit Data or 2 for 8 Bit Data. The module then states that the file transfer is in progress. The following section describes what happens next. ====File Transfer in Progress==== The information shown next depends on whether the Home Computer is the sending or receiving system. If it is the sending system, the Terminal Emulator II module displays ::{||-| BLOCK || RECORD || RETRIES|-| 0000 || 00 || 0|}and notifies the receiving system that the module is going to send adata file. The module then waits for a command from the other systemindicating it is ready to receive the data.If a remote system sends a file transfer to a Home Computer, a series ofmessages appears on the display of the Home Computer (the receivingsystem). First, the messageHOST HAS STARTED FILE TRANSFERappears on the display. The Home Computer may then cancel thetransfer by means of the CTRL 3 (CANCEL) function. (Other systemsmay cancel the transfer by sending an appropriate escape sequence asspecified by the Home Computer's protocols.)After a short pause, the messagePLEASE ENTER DEVICE NAMETO OUTPUT DAT A TOappears on the receiving Home Computer's display. The acceptabledevice names are DSKl, DSK2, and DSK3 (for TI Disk Memory Drives1, 2, and 3) or CSl (for cassette recorder 1). Make sure that a diskette(or cassette) is inserted into the appropriate mass storage device. Thentype the proper device name and press ENTER.If the receiving computer is outputting data to a disk system, thedisplay then states PLEASE.ENTER FILE NAME. Type the desired filename and press ENTER. The module does not ask you for a file name ifthe data is being output to a cassette."
