FACSIMILE

The following is a checklist for facsimile operation. The operator must--

  • Ensure that the DNVT/DSVT is affiliated.
  • Ensure that the facsimile is properly connected to the DNVT/DSVT.
  • Preset the switches on the facsimile.
    - Unlock the carriage lock handle.
    - Set the MODE switch to COMP FEC.
    - Set the ANLG/DIGITAL switch to DIGITAL.
    - Set the HI RES LO SP/HI SP LO RES switch as needed. (This setting is determined by the document being transmitted.)
    - Set the GRAY/B/W switch as needed.
    - Set the NATO switch to the LDF position.
  • Turn on the power (push IN on POWER switch).
  • Press the PAPER RELEASE lever and insert paper to transmit slot.
  • Place the paper text side up lengthwise into facsimile.
  • Set the margins.
  • Press the MEMORY LOAD button.
  • Remove the paper when the scan is finished.
  • Verify that the MEMORY LOAD indicator is lit.
    - Insert the copy set page into the facsimile to make a copy. (If using carbon, place it on top of the blank page and insert both.)
    - Set the margins.
    - Press the SELF TEST switch.
  • Contact the receiving station over the DNVT/DSVT to send the copy.
  • Ensure that the distant-end operator has the switches set in the same mode of operation as the sending machine.
  • Instruct the distant-end operator to press the RECEIVE button.
  • Press the TRANSMIT button. (The distant-end operator prints the message after it is received.)

CT, AN/UGC-144. This is a digital communications terminal that provides single-subscriber operation. When in a network, the unit has a full-duplex asynchronous communications capability. It has the ability to access the automatic digital network (AUTODIN) and can monitor narrative message traffic in the U (unclassified), R (routine), and Y (emergency command precedence, usually seen as TOP SECRET/sensitive compartmented information (TS/SCI)) communities. The CT is a medium-speed device that includes interface data, power supply, and control mechanisms. See Figure 3-39.

Figure 3-39. CT, AN/UGC-144.
Technical Features:
TERMINAL:

  • Voltage input: 100/130 VAC, 48/63 Hz, or 200/ 260 VAC, 48/63 Hz.
  • Consumption: 93 watts.
  • Weight: 55 pounds.
    PRINTER:
  • Speed: 150/240 cps.
  • Voltage input: 100/130 VAC, 48/63 Hz.
  • Consumption: 13-watt average.

The CT is typically found in military intelligence units and division, corps, and theater headquarters. Figure 3-40 shows a configuration of CT communications via MSE.
