PASSALL {ON | OFF}
default OFF
This command enables the attempt to display corrupted packets when PASSALL
is ON. If a packet contains beginning and ending flags, the TNC will attempt to
decode the address field as well as the data field and display the packet as speci-
fied by other commands such as MONITOR. MHEARD and NDHEARD log-
ging are disabled when PASSALL is ON.
+ When PASSALL is OFF, packets will be displayed only if the CRC (error check-
ing) is correct and as specified by other commands such as MONITOR.
#
PBBS n
(maximum value of n depends on available RAM)
default 90 (if RAM = 128K), or 400 (if RAM = 512K)
Setting n greater than 0 allocates memory and activates the Personal Mailbox in
the TNC. The amount of memory allocated will be n kilobytes, and may be lim-
ited by other functions that require memory (e.g. NUMNODES and
MAXUSERS). Changing the size of the PBBS memory allocation will not affect
the contents of the mailbox (messages will be preserved). If you attempt to set
the PBBS smaller than is required for existing messages you will receive the
message “Messages would be lost” and no change will be made to the mailbox
size. In this case to reduce the size of the mailbox you must first either kill some
of the messages or set PBBS 0 which will delete all messages; then set the new
size. Using the PBBS n command with n equal to the current size will renumber
the messages in the mailbox beginning with message number 1. If n is a different
size, the messages will not be renumbered. This command causes a soft reset if n
is different from its previous value.
Note: To change the value of PBBS you must enter the whole command name
(PBBS), but to see the current value, you only need enter the short-form PB.
