A Simple Connect
Once you see a station you would like to connect to, be sure you are in Command
Mode, and issue a connect request. For example:
C callsign<CR>
where C is short for CONNECT and callsign is the callsign of the station you
wish to connect to.
If for any reason the connection fails, the TNC will send the following message
to your screen:
*** RETRY COUNT EXCEEDED
*** DISCONNECTED
When your TNC does receive an acknowledgment for a connect packet, it will
display a message on your screen like:
*** CONNECTED TO callsign
and your TNC will change to the Convers Mode (dependent on the setting of
NOMODE and CONMODE). Now what you type will be interpreted by the TNC
as data to be sent to the other station and not commands to the TNC. The MCON
parameter comes defaulted to OFF. Therefore once you are connected all you will
see is what you type and what the person connected to you sends you. Any pack-
ets sent by other people will not be monitored unless they are also connected to
you on another stream.
Two things determine when the data you send will be packetized. One is the pa-
rameter SENDPAC. This is defaulted as the return or ENTER key. So as you are
typing your message, whenever you hit the return or ENTER key, you are telling
the TNC to make a new packet. A second parameter, PACLEN, determines the
maximum length of any packet. If you enter data longer than this length, a packet
will be made even though you have not pressed the return or ENTER key.
When you have finished your conversation you need to end the connection. To do
this you go into the Command Mode and type a “d” for Disconnect. Remember
to press the return or enter key after any command to the TNC. Once your station
has received the acknowledgment for the disconnect packet the TNC will send
this message to your screen:
*** DISCONNECTED
