5.4.2.1.
Input Editing and Packet Timing
Transparent Mode does not permit input editing. The send-packet character does not
exist. Packets are sent at specific regular intervals, or when a full packet of information
(
PACLEN
= 128 bytes) is ready.
Use the
PACTIME
command to set the time intervals at which the data is packetized.
5.4.2.2.
Display Features in Transparent Mode
Transparent Mode modifies your PK-232-monitor display characteristics. Data are sent
to the computer exactly as received over the radio, with all eight bits of each byte re-
ceived. Features such as auto-linefeed insertion and screen wrap are disabled, as is the
echoing of input characters.
The parameter controlling these latter features in the Command and Converse Mode
are not changed on entry into Transparent Mode; all display features are reestablished
when your PK-232 is returned to Command Mode.
Transparent Mode also disables most of the link status messages that appear as your
PK-232 cycles between the disconnected and connected states.
5.4.2.3.
Escape or Exit from Transparent Mode
In order for the Command Mode entry character (default = <CTRL-C>) to be transmit-
ted freely in Transparent Mode, escaping or exiting from Transparent Mode to Com-
mand Mode becomes a bit more complicated.
o
Use BREAK to return to Command Mode, just as in Converse Mode.
o
Use the Command Mode entry character (<CTRL-C>) as follows:
1.
Wait a moment after typing the last character being sent. The minimum re-
quired wait is set by the
CMDTIME
command.
2.
Type three Command Mode entry characters (<CTRL-C>) within an interval
CMDTIME
of each other.
After a final
CMDTIME
interval during which no characters are typed, you'll see the
command prompt. The default value of
CMDTIME
is one second. Note that you cannot
escape from Transparent Mode using this second procedure if
CMDTIME
is set to zero.
If any characters are typed during this interval (even Command Mode entry characters),
the escape will be aborted; all Command Mode entry characters you've typed are sent
as Packet data.
