Messages from the MT1200
The following are brief explanations of the most important messages that may be sent
by your TNC.
Note: Since these messages are also sent by other Kantronics TNCs, they refer to
“TNC”, not to “MT1200”.
***(callsign) busy
The packet station you were attempting to connect to (callsign) is unable to
accept connects, and responded with a busy signal.
Already connected
You are attempting to connect to someone when a connection currently exists.
The STATUS command will show you who you are connected to.
CALIBRATE MODE:
M send mark
R receive
S send space
T send square wave
– or + adjust XMITLVL while transmitting
X exit
This message appears on your screen when you enter the Calibrate Mode. It
prompts you to press M to generate a MARK tone, R to receive a Kantronics
Calibrate signal, S to generate a SPACE tone, T to transmit a Kantronics
Calibrate signal, – or + to adjust XMITLVL while transmitting, or X to return to the
Command Mode.
Can’t DISCONNECT
You are not connected, so therefore you cannot disconnect. This message will
be followed by a “Link state is:” message that is described later in this section.
Can’t RECONNECT
You have attempted to reconnect to a station (by issuing a CONNECT
command) but the callsign you entered is not the same as the station you are
already connected to. You may only reconnect (possibly via a different path) to
the station to which you are currently connected.
cmd:
This is the Command Mode’s prompt for input. Any characters entered after the
TNC prints “cmd:” will be used as command input and not packet data.
