mand to process, not as data to transmit. To instruct your KAM’98 to connect, to
disconnect, or to change any of the operating parameters in the KAM’98 you
must be in the COMMAND mode.
+ When placed in COMMAND mode (and ready to receive the next command) the
KAM’98 sends a “cmd:” prompt for display on the computer’s screen.
Converse (Conversation) Mode (Packet)
When in “CONVERS” (conversation) mode, the KAM’98 will interpret data re-
ceived from Pacterm 2.0 (or any other source) as data to transmit. In
“CONVERS” mode, the KAM’98 interprets most characters as information to be
transmitted, while interpreting certain pre-defined characters (which the user can
change) as control characters rather than as data to be sent. For example, a “back-
space” character causes a backspace and is not transmitted.
+ The KAM’98 will automatically switch to the CONVERS mode for you when
you connect to someone or when someone connects to you and will return to the
COMMAND mode when a disconnect occurs. When you are in COMMAND
mode, you may switch to CONVERS mode just by giving the command K
(or CONVERS). If you are in the CONVERS mode and want to force your
KAM’98 back to the COMMAND mode, you type a <Ctrl+C>.
TRANS (Transparent) Mode
A second way to transmit data is to instruct the KAM’98 to ignore the “control
characters” (e.g., “backspace”) and just transmit every character as data. This is
called the “TRANS” (transparent) mode of communication. For example, if data
received by the KAM’98 for transmission in TRANS mode includes “backspace”
characters (i.e., characters that would cause a backspace in CONVERS mode),
the KAM’98 will transmit the backspace characters as part of the data.
+ Before you can switch to TRANS mode, you need to set INTFACE to
TERMINAL instead of NEWUSER. (This is because, as described in the next
section, the TRANS command is not a NEWUSER command.) To get out of
TRANS mode and back to COMMAND mode, enter “<Ctrl+C> three times,with
a pause of less than one second between each entry.
