Hello World! I'm on the air on packet radio!

See the entry under
CMDTIME
or the discussion of Transparent Mode in Chapter
5 for information on how the Command Mode entry character is used for escape
from Transparent Mode.
For terminals without a "control" key, you will have to reasign another key such as
a graphic symbol or punctuation mark which is normally not used in operations.

RANS Mode: Packet
Default: CONVERS
Parameters:
CONVERS
Sets automatic entry to Converse Mode when a
connection
is
established.
TRANS
Sets automatic entry to Transparent Mode when a
connection
is
established.
CONMODE
controls which mode the MFJ TNC will be placed in after a
connection is established. The connection may result either from a connect
request received over the air or a connect initiated by a
CONNECT
command that
you issued. For most operations, you would set
CONMODE
to
CONVERS
.
However, if you are using Transparent Mode for a bulletin board program, for
example, you would set
CONMODE
to
TRANS
so that the correct mode will be
entered when your bulletin board receives a connect request.
If you initiate a connection with the
CONNECT
command, the control of
Converse or Transparent Mode is determined by
NEWMODE
.
If the MFJ TNC is already in Converse or Transparent Mode when the connection
is completed, the mode will not be changed. If you have typed part of a command
line when the connection is completed, the mode change will not take place until
you complete the command or cancel the line. This prevents the last part of your
command from inadvertently being sent as a packet.
