TTY

JadeCache: More accurate forcing TTY mode procedure.

'''TTY''' ('''Teletypewriter''') is a communication system used in [[Payphone Tag]] that allows text to be transmitted over telephone lines using encoded audio signals.

In the context of Payphone Tag, TTY is primarily used through certain [[Telstra Smart Payphone]] units that include a physical slide-out keyboard.

A full list of all TTY capable payphones according to Telstra can be found at [[:Category:TTY-equipped payphones]].

== Usage in Payphone Tag ==
When a TTY-capable payphone is captured, the [[Operator]] may initiate TTY mode after the login sequence. If the payphone supports it, the TTY keyboard can slide out, allowing the agent to type a message.

The typed message is transmitted as an '''ITA2 (Baudot) encoded signal''' over the phone line. The game backend decodes this signal and posts the message in real time to the [[Discord Server]]’s <code>#tty</code> channel.

== Forcing TTY mode ==
Agents can also manually trigger TTY mode on most payphones by:
* Entering <code>*</code> after login is complete (the operator does not currently support entering it immediately after the PIN.)
* Playing a pre-encoded ITA2 audio file into the handset or using a portable TTY device to generate encoded signals live.

This allows messages to be injected into the system without requiring a physical TTY keyboard.

== Technical details ==
* Encoding: ITA2 (Baudot code)
* Baud rate: 50 baud
* Mark frequency: 1410 Hz
* Stop frequency: 1820 Hz
* Transmission: Audio tones over phone line
* Output: Decoded and displayed in Discord

== Limitations ==
Not all TTY-enabled payphones function correctly. Many units connected via cellular (4G) networks have been reported to fail when attempting TTY communication.

== Real-world context ==
TTY systems were historically used to assist deaf or hard-of-hearing users in communicating via telephone networks, among other uses.
