- Well, it does, and it doesn't. The feature I mentioned above was one I
- stumbled upon by experimenting; it's not in the manual that I can find.
- The manual (the WorldBlazer addendum) effectively says TIES is used:
-
- "An escape sequence contains three consecutive escape characters [...]
- followed by a valid AT command. For example, [...] +++ATH"
-
- Contrast this with the T3000's description:
-
- "An escape sequence contains three consecutive escape characters [...]
- separated from other characters by a guard time [...]"
-
- The WorldBlazer behaves as documented in its manual, but it also
- behaves in the manner described in the T3000 manual with the
- "enhancement" of going back online if no valid AT command is detected.
