Back to summary
Launch a modem connection, then pause as soon as the Newton is connected. When its execution is resumed, it disconnects.
* endpoint
type: Newton endpoint
This slot is returned by the instruction. Its initial value is ignored
* errorControl
type: integer default value: kModemECProtocolNone + kModemECProtocolExternal
The possible values for the slot are listed below. Note that these values can be combined together to specify multiple error control types.
Constant Value Description
kModemECProtocolNone 0x00000001 No error control.
kModemECProtocolMNP 0x00000002 Use internal MNP class 4.
kModemECProtocolExternal 0x00000008 Use modem's built-in error control.
kModemECInternalOnly 0x00000010 Connect with internal error control only; overrides other settings.
What happens when a reliable connection cannot be established depends on which error control types you specify. If you include kModemECProtocolNone in your specification, then the modem tool "falls back" to a connection with no error control. If you do not include kModemECProtocolNone in your specification and a reliable connection cannot be established, the connection fails.
If you specify kModemECInternalOnly, the Newton's internal error control is used. This setting takes precedence over the other error control types.
* listen
type: boolean
default value: nil
* listenTimeout type: integer default value: kNoTimeout (0)
An integer specifying the time, in milliseconds, that the system should allow for the Newton to listen. If you use this slot, specify an integer greater than 30.
* phoneNumber
type: string or nil
default value: nil
* transport
type: frame default value: nil
The transport must always be EETransfer.
Note: Before the script executes itself, the global variable "transport" is automatically set to EETransfer. So if you don't use a slot "globalSymbols" you don't have to (and you should not) provide a slot "transport". Otherwise, the "globalSymbols" slot must contain a slot:
transport: 'transport,
