Chapter 5 Packet Operation
See
CHDOUBLE and CHCALL for further information on the use of CHSWITCH .
CMSg ON
|
OFF
Default: OFF
Mode: packet Host: CM
OFF The text message isn’t sent.
ON
The entered
CTEXT
message is sent as the first packet after a connection is established after a connect
request from a another station.
CMSG
enables or disables automatic transmission of the
CTEXT
message when your DSP accepts a connect
request from another station. Set CMSG ON to send the connecting station your CTEXT message. One idea is to
put in your
CTEXT
message an invitation for the connecting station to leave a message in your Maildrop if you’re
not available.
CONmode CONVERSE | TRANS Default: CONVERSE
Mode: packet, PACTOR Host: CE
CONVERSE Your DSP enters the Converse mode when a connection is established.
TRANS
Your DSP enters the Transparent mode when a connection is established.
CONMODE
selects the mode your DSP enters after entering the “connected” state. For general operation, use the
default setting.
Connect call1
(
Via call2
,
call3
,
...call9
]) Immediate Command
Mode: packet Host: CO
call1 Callsign of the station you want to connect to.
call2-9
Optional callsign(s) of up to eight stations you can leapfrog through to reach
call1
.
Use the
CONNECT
command to send a packet connect request to station
call1
, directly or
VIA
(through) one or
more “digipeaters” ( call2 through call9 ). Each callsign can include an optional SSID- n immediately after the
callsign.
For example, say you want to digipeat through two stations that are on a linear radio path to the third station, the
one you want to talk to. You’d type something like this after the
cmd: prompt:
C WF7A V KG6ZL
,
KB6IUX-1
,
WO6P
This string means that you want to
C onnect to WF7A V ia (through) station KG6ZL , then KB6IUX-1 , then WO6P .
The path looks like this:
You
→
KG6ZL
→
KB6IUX-1
→
WO6P
→
WF7A
You can type
CONNECT at any time to check the DSPs connect status. If you’re in the process of trying to connect
to another station, you’ll see the message:
Link state is: CONNECT in progress
If the other station doesn’t
ack your connect request after the number of tries set with
RETRY
, the connect attempt
is canceled. Your monitor would display:
cmd:*** Retry count exceeded
*** DISCONNECTED:
call1
CONPerm ON | OFF Default: OFF
Mode: packet Host: CY
OFF
The current channel can be disconnected from the other stations.
