10 Hostmode
10.3 DAMA
The PTC-IIex in Packet-Radio is full compatible with the DAMA (Demand Assigned
Multiple Access) standard. You easily recognize a DAMA-Digi with a look to your
monitor. The expression
[DAMA]
is added to the header of the monitored packets, if the
packet is received by a DAMA-Digi. The DAMA mode needs not be activated by the
user. The PTC-IIex automatically notices if you are working with a DAMA-Digi or not
and behaves respectively.
10.4 Commands
The commands available in the hostmode are totally different to the commands in the
terminal mode.
Table 10.1 compares the commands between the terminal mode and the
hostmode.

Table 10.1: Commands: Terminal mode / Hostmode
The PTC-IIex still expects all time values in milliseconds!
In the following chapters the hostmode commands are described:
10.4.1 C
Default setting: none
Parameter: <target call> [<Digi1> <Digi2>…].
Connect establishes a AX.25 link:
C DL1ZAM
- connects with DL1ZAM
If the link takes place via one or more digipeaters, then the list of digipeaters should be
given directly after the target callsign.
C DL6MAA DB0FKB
- connects to DL6MAA via DB0KFB
A Connect command on channel 0 sets the path for the Unproto transmission.
