Selecting the first line, the return entry would be:
aacBDB
Upper and lower case characters must be entered exactly the same as they were in
RTEXT, numbers and spaces also count as a character. Up to 128 characters can be
entered in the RTEXT string.
When remote command access has been granted, a prompt: (instead of cmd:) will be
returned, and commands to the remote TALON can then be sent. Any command that
causes a reset to occur, will cause the connection in the remote TALON to be lost, the
same as when cycling its power off and back on, leaving the local TALON still thinking
it is connected to that remote station. Enabling the CHECK command will cause the
TALON to check for a lost link, and will reset that stream when the connection is lost.
Proper care should be used when changing commands remotely, as some commands can
cause that remote TALON, to stop communicating completely.
If three password attempts are made and failed when linked to the MYREMOTE callsign
in a remote unit, that unit will disconnect and will not respond to connect requests to the
MYREMOTE callsign for 15 minutes.
There is a limitation on the amount of data that can be returned from the remote TALON
while using its remote access, so some commands will not fully display their response. In
response to the command DISPLAY, which is a large amount of return data, only about
the first 300 characters of the full display listing will be returned. But the setting of any
single command can be displayed in its entirety.
When finishing a remote access session, send the command to the remote TNC:
DISC MYREMOTE
The remote TALON will then send a disconnect packet back to the local TNC. The local
TALON can also be commanded to disconnect from the remote, by returning it to its
command prompt and entering the DISC command.
9 PROTOCOL DESCRIPTIONS

terminal unit.
