Chapter 5 Packet Operation
CText text
Default: empty
Mode: packet Host: CT
text Any combination of up to 120 characters, including spaces.
CTEXT is the “answering machine” mesage sent when CMSG is ON . The message is sent only when another
station connects to you. A typical
CTEXT
message might be:
Hiya! I’m not available right now, so please leave a message in my Maildrop, WO6P-1.
Clear
CTEXT text by using the following arguments: % , & , NO , NONE or OFF , or simply set CMSG OFF .
DCdconn ON | OFF Default: OFF
Mode: packet, AMTOR, PACTOR, KISS and RAWHDLC Host: DC
OFF
RS-232 cable Pin 8 is permanently set high (default).
ON
RS-232 cable Pin 8 follows the state of the CON (or DCD) LED.
DCDCONN
defines how the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal affects pin 8 in the RS-232 interface to your
computer or terminal. Some programs such as PBBS software require that DCDCONN be ON .
DCDCONN also works in the RAWHDLC and KISS modes. In RAWHDLC and KISS , no packet connections are
known to the DSP. With
DCDCONN ON
, the state of the radio DCD is sent to the RS-232 DCD pin (pin-8). This
may be necessary to some Host applications that need to know when the radio channel is busy.
DFrom ALL
,
NONE
,
YES/NO call1
,
call2...
Default: All
Mode: packet Host: DF
call ALL , NONE , YES list , NO list . (list = up to eight call signs, separated by commas and no spaces.)
DFROM determines how your DSP responds to stations trying to use your station as a digipeater. DFROM is set to
ALL
when you first start your DSP. Type
DFROM
to display the
ALL
,
NONE
,
YES list/NO list
status of station’s
callsigns whose packets will or won’t be digipeated.
To allow one or more specific stations to digipeat through your station, type
DFROM YES
, followed by a list of
callsigns. To prevent one or more specific stations from digipeating through your station, type DFROM NO
(followed by a list of call signs). To prevent all stations from digipeating through your station, type
DFROM
NONE .
Clear
DFROM with % , & or OFF as arguments.
DIGipeat
Default: on
Mode: packet
ON: Equivalent to DFOM ALL
OFF:
Equivalent to DFROM NONE
In host computer applications that use a Boolean parameter switching routine rather than numeric values, the
DIGIPEAT command can be used with ON and OFF instead of ALL or NONE.
This alternate DIGIPEAT command is appropriate in certain electronic mail and bulletin board systems.
Note that DIGIPEAT ON and OFF as Boolean commands do not provide the same capability for selective
digipeating as with DFROM YES)calls) and DFROM NO(calls).
