Each increment specifies 1 second intervals. This command sets the time allowed for entry of re-
quired characters to escape the Transparent Mode. In order to allow escape to Command Mode
from Transparent Mode, while permitting any character to be sent as data, a guard time of
CMDTIME seconds is set up. After a delay of CMDTIME since the last data characters were sent to
the TNC, three COMMAND characters must be entered within CMDTIME of each other. After a final
delay of CMDTIME, the TNC will exit Transparent Mode and enter Command Mode. At this time
you should see the
cmd:
prompt. If CMDTIME is set to zero, the only exit from Transparent Mode
is a modem break signal. Example (if CMDTIME is 1 second and COMMAND is
Ctrl-C
): wait one
second, type a
Ctrl-C
, within one second type a second
Ctrl-C
, within one second type a third
Ctrl-C
, WAIT one second,
cmd:
prompt should appear. If your computer/program has the capabi-
lity you can also send a modem break to escape Transparent Mode.

When OFF, the custom connect text stored in CTEXT will not be sent to the connecting station
upon receiving a connect request. When ON, the custom string will be sent. When CMSG is set to
DISC, the custom text will be sent to the connecting station and then your TNC will disconnect
from that station. If set to PBBS, the custom text will be sent to the connecting station and then
the connection will automatically be transferred to your PBBS. This will occur if the PBBS is avail-
able. If the PBBS is not available, your TNC will disconnect from the station. CTEXT must contain
text (spaces only is not considered text) in order for the DISC and PBBS functions to operate.

This command is used to change the Command Mode entry character. When COMMAND is set to
the default value, typing
CTRL-C
causes the TNC to return to Command Mode from Packet Convers
Mode. (See CMDTIME for returning to Command Mode from Transparent Mode.) This character is
also used for special commands in non-packet mode.

When ON, the TNC will recognize only those packets received with a callsign that also appears in
the BUDCALLS list. All other packets are completely ignored. In other words, if a station is not in
the BUDCALL list, he may not use your station for ANY purpose, including digipeating through you.
In addition, you will not be able to connect to any station that is not in your BUDCALLS list.
