Pacterm v 2.0
Introduction
Pacterm is a DOS-based terminal communication program used to control the
flow of information between your PC compatible computer and your TNC.
+ We suggest that you start with the chapter “Installing Your TNC,” switch
here, when instructed, to set up Pacterm, and then to go back to the “In-
stalling Your TNC” chapter to complete installing your packet radio station.
Pacterm is shipped with the TNC to help you get started using your TNC
for packet radio communication. Pacterm is for use while the TNC is operating in
NEWUSER Interface Mode (the default mode of operation) or in TERMINAL
Interface Mode, which includes all NEWUSER commands and many more.
+ You may continue using Pacterm with your TNC after you get up and running,
but you do not need to limit yourself to Pacterm. The TNC will operate with a
wide range of terminal communication programs, including the TERMINAL
communication program that comes with Microsoft Windows. Some of these
other communication programs offer more functionality than Pacterm.
Technical Note: With appropriate cabling, software and adapters, the TNC also
will operate with non-PC compatible computers and “dumb terminals.”
Our Assumptions About You
We assume the following when you use Pacterm with your TNC:
•
You are using a PC compatible computer that meets the specifications
given in your TNC documentation.
•
You know, or are learning, how to use DOS with your PC compatible
computer for basic operations needed to install and run Pacterm.
•
You have a TNC that is connected, or that will be connected, to your PC
computer, as described below and in the TNC manual.
•
You know, or are learning, how to use your TNC in NEWUSER and/or
TERMINAL Interface Mode, along with your PC compatible computer
and your transceiver, for packet radio operations.
