MFJ-1270C/1274C MANUAL COMMANDS
Page 166
If
NEWMODE
is
OFF
, the MFJ TNC will remain in Command Mode after you
issue a
CONNECT
command until a connection is actually established. When the
connection is established, the MFJ TNC will enter Converse Mode or Transparent
Mode, depending on the setting of
CONMODE
. When the connection is
terminated, the MFJ TNC remains in Converse or Transparent Mode unless you
have forced it to return to Command Mode. This is the same as the behavior of
TNC 1 (running version 3.x software) under these conditions.
If
NEWMODE
is
ON
, the MFJ TNC will enter Converse Mode or Transparent
Mode as soon as you issue a
CONNECT
command, without waiting for the
connection to be established. Anything you type will be packetized to be
transmitted once the connection is complete. When the connection is broken, or if
the connect attempt fails, the MFJ TNC will return to Command Mode.
Bulletin board systems, compatibility with TNC 1
If you have a Bulletin Board program designed to work with TNC 1 you should set
NEWMODE
OFF
if the program relies on the sequence of actions used by TNC
1. Otherwise, you should choose the setting for
NEWMODE
that seems most
convenient to you.
NOD
EFORW
Mode:
Mailbox
Default
"
"
node
[via x...], up to 8 vias.
This is an immediate command. It is similar to the
FORWARD
command except
that the
NODEFORW
parameter is the cvia path to your NETROM,
THENET, or KA node. When your TNC establishes the connection to the 'node', it
sends the text in
NODEPATH
to establish a network link to the receiving BBS.
If all goes well, the forwardee will send its signon string, and forwarding will
commence. To detect failure,
NODEFORW
looks for two strings - "BUSY" and
"RETR" - as node connection failure indications. Upon finding "BUSY" or
"RETR", the forward attempt is considered failed, and the TNC disconnects from
the node. The command can contain the callsign of the "node" and up to 8
vias.
