Default: OFF
Mode: packet Host: Mx
ON Monitor outgoing packets in the same manner as received packets.
OFF
Don’t monitor outgoing packets.
With
MXMIT ON , outgoing packets are monitored in the same manner as received packets. The monitoring of
outgoing packets is subject to the settings of
MONITOR
,
MCON
,
MFROM
,
MTO
,
MRPT
and
TRACE
. Most
transmitted packets occur when you’re connected to someone, so MCON should probably be set to a non-zero
value.
MYAlias call [-
n
]
Default: none
Mode: packet Host: MA
call
Alternate packet digipeater identity of your DSP
“ n ” 0 to 15, an optional SubStation ID (SSID)
MYALIAS specifies an alternate callsign (in addition to the callsign specified in MYCALL ) for those households
with two operators taking turns using the DSP—your TNC will accept connections to both your
MYCALL
and
MYALIAS . Previously, MYALIAS had been reserved for stations digipeating through your station, only.
If
MYMAIL
isn’t set, the Maildrop also accepts connections to either
MYCALL
or
MYALIAS
.
Outgoing connect attempts and Unproto frames use only
MYCALL
as the source callsign.
MYcall call
[- n ] Default: DSP232
Mode: packet and PACTOR Maildrop Host: ML
call
Your callsign
“ n ” 0-15, indicating an optional SubStation ID, (SSID)
Use the
MYCALL command to load your callsign into your DSP. The
DSP232
default callsign is present in your
DSPs ROM when the system is manufactured. This “artificial call” must be changed for packet operation.
The SSID is usually added so the DSP can respond to two different tasks—as a “base” station and digipeater, a
digipeater and Maildrop, or a base station and Maildrop. An example of using the SSID suffix is given in
Chapter
5: Packet Operation .
Two or more stations can’t use the same call and SSID on the air at the same time. Use a different SSID this is the
case.
MYCALL must be entered for you to use the PACTOR Maildrop; the callsign is used for message routing and
identification.
MYGate call
[- n ] Default: none
Mode: packet Host: MY
call Node callsign used by other stations.
“ n ”
0 to 15, an optional substation ID (SSID)
