[GreenKeys] i-Telex and the Lorenz

[Fred Sonnenrein]

Yes, that's super. 

AT means "Anruftaste" (call button). The rotary dial is blocked until the telex exchange signals "dial now". Like the dialing tone at the telephone (i never had the experience that the dialing tone didn't come,  besides this could happen if too many people try to call simultaneously. 

The LT means "Lokalbetrieb-Taste" (local operation button).
With this button you can activate a local loop current to let the teleprinter run without beeing connected to anyone else. 
If in local operation an incoming call occurs,  a 'snare' is activated and after three seconnds the call will be accepted. 

The ST means "Schluss-Taste" (end button). Either a connection or the local mode will be stopped. 

So your remote control unit seems to work properly, best for our i-telex.

For all others: don't worry if you haven't such a unit: it's best for an optimal "look and feel", but if your printer has an autostart option and a break key you can also join the i-telex group. ..

Well today, after I finished a couple of other things, was "Play with the

I found the original documentation on the power/signal panel that       
Heinz sent me 7 years ago. I had to make up the connector from the 
panel to the FSG. Plugged everything in and put the loop supply on. 

Sure enough, loop polarity one way, no motor. Reverse polarity and 
the motor spins right up. 
Playing with the buttons, I think AT mean "tell the CO I want to talk." 
I figured out LT mean "local" and ST means "We're done here." 
Interestingly, the FSG won't let you play with the telephone dial unless 
it's in the correct mode. 
Make sense really, just like having your mother pick up the phone in 
the middle of downloading something. "Don't do that!" 

So yes, we're one step closer to getting things to play TW39 with.

Interested in your experience with LO15. I've got one with a French keyboard that will need some work before it runs. When I'm ready to start on it, I'll look for information.
