PRESS (*) TO SET BAUD RATE
You need to press the asterisk key on your keyboard. The TNCs autobaud routine will then de-
tect what baud rate your computer is talking at, so the two devices can communicate. The
baud rate for the TNC may be set with the ABAUD command described in the Command Sec-
tion to avoid going through this routine every time the TNC is turned on.
REJ frame sent
A reject packet has been sent in response to a packet received out of proper sequence.
***retry count exceeded
***DISCONNECTED
The number of tries set by the RETRY command has been exceeded. Therefore the connection
has been broken.
