TRANS
Mnemonic: T
Imediate command
Mode: Packet
TRANS
is an immediate command that switches the PK-232 switch from the Command Mode to
Transparent Mode. The current state of the radio link is not affected.
Transparent Mode is primarily useful for computer communications. In Transparent Mode "human
interface" features such as input editing, echoing of input characters, and type-in flow control are
disabled.
Use Transparent Mode for transferring binary or other non-text files.
TRFLOW
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
TRF
Default: OFF
Mode: All
Parameters:
ON -
Software flow control for the computer or terminal can be activated in Trans-
parent Mode.
OFF - Software flow control for the computer or terminal is disabled in Transparent
Mode.
When
TRFLOW
is ON, the type of flow control used in Transparent Mode is determined by how
START
and
STOP
are set.
When
TRFLOW
is OFF, only "hardware" flow control (CTS, RTS) is available to the computer and all
characters received by the PK-232 are transmitted as data.
If
START
and
STOP
are set to $00 the User Stop and User Start characters are disabled – hardware
flow control must be used by the computer.
If
TRFLOW
is ON, and
START
and
STOP
are set to values other than zero, software flow control is
enabled for the user's computer or terminal. The PK-232 responds to the User START and User
STOP characters (set by START and STOP) while remaining transparent to all other characters from
the terminal.
Unless
TXFLOW
is also ON, only hardware flow control is available to the PK-232 to control output
from the terminal.
TRIES
n
Mnemonic:
TRI
Default: 0
Mode: Packet
Parameters:
n
-
0 to 15 specifies the current RETRY level on the selected input channel.
TRIES
retrieves (or forces) the count of "tries" on the data channel presently selected.
If you type
TRIES
without an argument, the PK-232 returns the current number of tries if an out-
standing unacknowledged frame exists. If no outstanding unacknowledged frame exists, the PK-
232 returns the number of tries required to get an ACK for the previous frame.
If
RETRY
is set to 0 (zero), the
TRIES
command always returns 0 (zero).
Use
TRIES
for gathering statistics on a given path or channel.
TRIES
is especially useful for com-
pute operating stations (such as automatic message-forwarding stations) using less than-optimal,
noisy HF or satellite channels or paths.
