About this Document This document describes how to perform certain tasks using FaceToFace with your PAC Mate and iPAQ. FaceToFace Installation Overview Note: For initial product installation and configuration on an iPAQ, assistance from a sighted individual is required. For detailed FaceToFace installation procedures, refer to the FaceToFace User’s Guide, Part Number 440287-001. Step 1 requires that you connect to the PMActivate.com Web page and obtain an Authorization code. You will need the confirmation code that appears on your FaceToFace Activation certificate to complete this task. Step 2 requires that you configure various iPAQ Bluetooth settings, install the FaceToFace software onto the iPAQ using an ActiveSync connection between the iPAQ and computer, and start and authorize the FaceToFace application. The FaceToFace application is available on the FaceToFace Program and Documentation CD. Step 3 requires that you install the Socket Communications Bluetooth software driver, which is supplied on the FaceToFace Program and Documentation CD, and then configure Bluetooth for the PAC Mate. Step 4 requires that you install and then authorize FaceToFace on the PAC Mate. Using FaceToFace Starting a FaceToFace Conversation When a FaceToFace conversation is started, at least one device must be configured as the server, while others are configured as clients. With an iPAQ and PAC Mate session, the iPAQ must always be configured as the server. Important: PAC Mate BX users should avoid using Grade II braille symbols and contractions when conversing with an iPAQ user. Since Grade II braille does not translate into pure text, the iPAQ user will see Grade II contractions as symbols, such as /, &, >, }, and so on. Do the following to start a FaceToFace conversation. 1. Make sure that the iPAQ and PAC Mate are turned on and within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. 2. Start FaceToFace on the Server device first. Note: When creating a conversation between an iPAQ and a PAC Mate, always make the iPAQ the server. If the conversation is between PAC Mates, one device must be the server, and the other must be a client. Never configure the iPAQ as a client. * If the server is an iPAQ, press the designated thumb button to start FaceToFace. The message, Server mode: Waiting for connection… appears. * If the server is a PAC Mate, press the Windows Key and choose the Start menu. Next, select Programs, choose FaceToFace, and press ENTER. The message, “Server mode: Waiting for connection…” appears. 3. Next, start FaceToFace on the client device. The message, “Client mode: Attempting connection…” appears. 4. When the message, “Connection successful” appears on both the server and client device, either user may begin the conversation. If there is a contention conflict as to which user will speak first, one user should send the letters GA, and let the other user begin speaking. General Conversation Rules The following are general conversation rules: * Always start FaceToFace on the device that is designated as the server first. * Always start FaceToFace on devices designated as clients second. * When the message, “Connection successful” appears on both the server and client device, either user may begin the conversation. If there is a contention conflict as to which user will speak first, one user should send the letters GA, and let the other user begin speaking. * Always end your transmissions with the letters GA for Go Ahead. This lets the other user know that it is ok to begin speaking. Accessing Online Help Online help is available for the FaceToFace application. To access the help file, do the following: 1. Start the FaceToFace application. 2. Press the Windows key to open the Start menu, and then choose Help. The FaceToFace online help appears. Changing Server and Client Modes on a PAC Mate A PAC Mate can be configured for Server or Client mode. If it is necessary to change modes, for example, two PAC Mates are configured as servers, then do the following: 1. Start the FaceToFace application. 2. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW twice to select the Tools menu. 3. Press ENTER to select Options, and then press CTRL+TAB (DOTS 5-6 CHORD) to select the Port Settings page. 4. Press TAB twice to select the Mode field. 5. Use the DOWN ARROW to select either Client or Server, and then press ENTER to save the new settings and close the Port Settings page. Changing a User Name Your user name is used to identify you in a FaceToFace conversation. You create your user name during installation of the FaceToFace application. To change your user name after the application is installed, do the following: 1. Start the FaceToFace application. 2. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW twice to select the Tools menu. 3. Press ENTER twice to open the Options command. The User Info page appears with the cursor in the Name field. 4. Type a new user name into the Name field, and press ENTER. 5. The next time you enter text, the new user name appears. Saving a FaceToFace Conversation for the First Time You may save your conversations as text files for later reference. There are two ways to save a file; using the Save command and the Save As command. If you have not saved a file, then both commands perform the same way by prompting you to enter a file name and file location for the conversation. If a saved conversation exists, the Save command appends the current conversation text to the existing file. If the Save As command is used, the current conversation is saved as a new file. Note: If you clear the conversation using the Clear History command, then the next time you save the current conversation text, you will be prompted to enter a file name and file location just as if you are saving the conversation for the first time. To save a FaceToFace session for the first time, do the following: 1. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press ENTER to select the File menu. 2. Press the DOWN ARROW once to select the Save As command. 3. Press ENTER. The Save As dialog appears with the cursor in the Name field. 4. Press TAB to move to the Folder field, and if necessary, select a file folder in which to save the file. 5. Press TAB twice to move to the Location field and use the DOWN ARROW to determine if you want to save the file to the PAC Mate’s main memory, flash memory, or storage card. Press ENTER after making a selection. 6. Press TAB to move to the OK button, and then press ENTER to save the file. Returning to a FaceToFace Conversation If the FaceToFace conversation is minimized, for example, you open another application over FaceToFace; you can restore your FaceToFace conversation by doing the following: 1. Press the Windows Key to open the Context Menu. 2. Press the DOWN ARROW until Programs is selected, and then press ENTER. 3. Press the DOWN ARROW until FaceToFace is selected, and then press ENTER. The current FaceToFace conversation appears on your screen. Note: You can always use the FaceToFace hotkey to quickly return to the FaceToFace application. Restarting a Conversation You can delete the conversation text on a remote device by issuing the Restart Conversation command from your device. To do this, do the following: 1. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW twice to select the Tools menu. 2. Press ENTER, and then press the DOWN ARROW to select the Remote Devices command. 3. Press ENTER again, press the DOWN ARROW, and press ENTER. The following occurs: * On your device, the message, “Restarting conversation on remote device…Remote device: Conversation restarted successfully” appears. * On the remote device, the conversation text is deleted, and the message, “Ready” appears. Clearing Text Note: You are not starting a new conversation by deleting text. You are just making space available on your device’s screen. This is very useful when using an iPAQ since the on-screen keyboard can cover up to one-third of the display area. To delete all text that appears on your screen, do the following: 1. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW to select the Edit menu. 2. Press ENTER and then press the DOWN ARROW three times to choose the Clear History command. 3. Press ENTER. All text that appears on your screen is deleted. Copying and Pasting Text within FaceToFace You may copy a selection of text within your conversation and paste it at the end of your conversation.

Use your UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select the location where you want to insert the copied text. 5. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW to select the Edit menu. 6. Press the DOWN ARROW to select Append Paste, and press ENTER to paste the text at the end of the conversation. Copying Conversation Text to another Application You can copy any or all of your conversation text, and paste your conversation into a text file using a text editor such as FSEdit or Notepad. To copy all of your conversation’s text, do the following: 1. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW to select the Edit menu. 2. Press ENTER and then press the DOWN ARROW twice to choose the Select All command. 3. Press ENTER. All conversation text is highlighted on your FaceToFace screen. 4. Press ALT (F2) to open the menu bar, and press the DOWN ARROW to select the Edit menu. 5. Press ENTER twice to select Copy from the Edit menu and copy the highlighted text. 6. Next, open your text editor, for example, FSEdit, and press CTRL+V to paste the text into the file. Viewing Remote Battery Status To review the battery status of a remote device, do the following: 1.
