SETENCRYPTION COMLINK ENCRYPTION COMMLINK

Comlinks are electronic communication devices used in conjunction with the
TALK command to transmit audio to all other comlinks in game tuned to that
channel. Using an encryption can ensure that no other comlink tuned to that
channel will understand what is being said unless tuned to the same encryption.

To choose a comlink to use, use the CURRENTCOM command.

For Example:
You are carrying:
[ IMMTech ] Wrist-mounted Comlink
A ring-sized finger comlink

To set your comlink to the finger comlink, you would enter:
currentcom ring or currentcom finger.

To set it to the wrist comlink, you would use:
currentcom IMM or currentcom wrist.

To use the comlink, use TALK <message>, eg. talk Hello, World!

Also, once a currentcom is selected you can see the channel it is tuned to
in your SCORE. All your equipped comlinks also show their channels and
encryptions when you type EQUIPMENT.

To set a comlink's channel, you use the tune command:
tune <comlink> <number>
To set an encryption on a comlink, you use the setencryption command in
the same fashion, or setenc: setencryption <comlink> <number>

The range of numbers for encryptions goes from 1 to 99999. Not all comlinks are
encryptable, however, but those that are may be obtained through asking an
engineer, buying through a player's shop, or finding them in-game.

All comlink channels are considered a method of In-Character communication,
and are not to be used for Out of Character (OOC) conversations.
