Packet
This command controls the mode the TNC will be placed in AUTOMATICALLY after a connect if
NOMODE is OFF. The connect may result either from a connect request received or a connect re-
quest originated by a CONNECT command. If the TNC is already in Convers or Transparent Mode
when the connection is completed, the mode will not be changed. If you have typed part of a com-
mand line when the connection is completed, the mode change will not take place until you com-
plete the command or cancel the line input.

Packet
call1
- callsign of station to be connected to.
call2
- optional stations to be digipeated through. A maximum of 8 digipeater addresses
(callsigns or aliases) can be specified. This is referred to as a path.
Each call sign may also have an optional supplemental station identifier (SSID) specified as -n,
where n = 1 – 15. The digipeat callsigns are specified in the order in which they are to relay trans-
mitted packets. The mode set at CONMODE will be entered upon successful connect if NOMODE is
OFF. If no response to the Connect request occurs after RETRY attempts, the command is aborted.
A timeout message is printed on the display and the TNC remains in the Command Mode. The sta-
tion being connected to (call1) may receive the connect request but be unable to accept connects,
in which case a busy message will be printed to the screen and the TNC will stay in Command
Mode. Connect requests may only be initiated in the Command Mode and the connect will be es-
tablished on the stream you are on.
If CONNECT is entered with no parameters, the status of the current stream is displayed.

All Units
Packet
When ON, connect requests from other TNCs will be automatically acknowledged and a <UA>
packet will be sent. The standard connect message, with stream ID if appropriate, will be output
to the terminal and the mode specified by CONMODE will be entered on the I/O stream if you are
not connected to another station and NOMODE is OFF.
When OFF, connect requests from other TNCs will not be acknowledged and a <DM> packet will
be sent to the requesting station. The message
connect request: (call)
will be output to
your terminal if INTFACE is TERMINAL.
When operating with multiple connects allowed, the connection will take place on the next avail-
able stream. Connect request in excess of the number allowed by the USERS command will receive
a <DM> response and the
connect request: (call)
message will be output to your terminal
if INTFACE is TERMINAL.
