3.2.2 Preparing a confidential file
If communicating with another FURUNO FELCOM, you can prepare a
confidential message by entering “S???-addressee code(-password):” in the first
line of the message text. You can also receive confidential messages containing
this header from a land subscriber or any MES.
There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code
and message with both addressee code and password.
When the FELCOM 16 receives a confidential message, the message is neither
displayed nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a
confidential message, the recipient executes the procedure shown in paragraph
4.2.3.
Addressee code and password
Caller and recipient agree beforehand on both the addressee code and the
password. The addressee code might be the title of the recipient; for example,
CAPTAIN. The password could be the classification of the message; for example,
SECRET.
