CMDTIME n
(n = 0 - 15)
default 1
This command sets the time allowed for entry of required characters to exit the
Transparent Mode. In order to allow exit to Command Mode from Transparent Mode,
while permitting any character to be sent as data, a guard time of CMDTIME seconds is
set up.
Entering a value for “n” sets the value of CMDTIME to “n seconds”.
To exit Transparent mode, you need to wait at least CMDTIME since the last data
character was sent to the TALON. Then you need to enter the COMMAND character
(e.g., <Ctrl+C>)) three times, with a wait of LESS THAN the value of CMDTIME
between the first and second time you enter the COMMAND character and also a wait of
LESS THAN the value of CMDTIME between the second and third time you enter the
COMMAND character.
After a final delay of CMDTIME the TALON 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; assuming BREAK is
set to ON.
For example (if CMDTIME is 1 second and COMMAND is <Ctrl+C>): wait at least one
second, type a <Ctrl+C>, within one second type a second <Ctrl+C>, within one second
type a third <Ctrl+C>, WAIT at least one second, and the cmd: prompt should appear. If
your computer/program has the capability you can also send a modem break to escape
Transparent Mode (assuming the command BREAK is set to ON.)
