description_info = "This device allows someone to speak to another player sourced from the observer pool, as well as other communicators linked to it. \
|
||
To use the device, use it in your hand, and it will open an interface with various buttons. Near the bottom will be a list of devices currently available \
|
||
for you to call, both from communications on the station, and communicators very far away (observers). To call someone, send a communications request to \
|
||
someone and hope they respond, or receive one yourself and respond to them. Hanging up is also simple, and is handled in the 'Manage Connections' tab."

description_fluff = "As a concept, a device that allows long-distance communication has existed for over five hundred years. A device that can accomplish \
|
||
that while in space, across star systems, and that the consumer can afford and use without training, is much more recent, and is thanks to the backbone \
|
||
that is the Exonet.<br>\
|
||
<br>\
|
||
The Exonet is the predominant interstellar telecomm system, servicing trillions of devices across a large portion of human-controlled space. \
|
||
It is distributed by a massive network of telecommunication satellites, some privately owned and others owned by the systems’ local governments, \
|
||
that utilize FTL technologies to bounce data between satellites at speeds that would not be possible at sub-light technology. This communicator \
|
||
uses a protocol called Exonet Protocol Version 2, generally shortened to EPv2.<br>\
|
||
<br>\
|
||
EPv2 is the most common communications protocol in the Exonet, and was specifically designed for it. It was designed to facilitate communication \
|
||
between any device in a star system, and have the ability to forward interstellar requests at the root node of that system’s Exonet. \
|
||
It is also built to cope with the reality that the numerous nodes in a system will likely have frequent outages. The protocol allows for \
|
||
up to 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 unique addresses, one of which is assigned to this device."
|
||
|
||
description_antag = "Electromagnetic pulses will cause the device to disconnect all linked communicators. Turning off the Exonet node at the Telecomms \
|
||
satellite will also accomplish this, but for all communicators on and near the station. This may be needed to allow for a quiet kill or capture."

description_info = "This is the guts of a 'device' type electronic assembly, and can either be used in this form or can be used inside of the assembly to \
|
||
allow it to interact with other assembly type devices (igniter, signaler, proximity sensor, etc). This device has unique inputs that allow it to either send \
|
||
or receive pulsed signals from an attached items when inside an electronic assembly device frame (looks not unlike a signaler). Ensure the assembly is closed \
|

before placing it inside the frame."

description_info = "This is the casing for the 'device' type of electronic assembly. It behaves like any other 'assembly' type device such as an igniter or signaler \
|

and can be attached to others in the same way. Use the 'toggle-open' verb (right click) or a crowbar to pop the electronic device open to add components and close when finished." |
