6. If you are using an Timewave or AEA program follow the instructions to CONNECT
in Packet mode to your own callsign (the one you just entered in MYCALL).
If you are using a Computer Terminal or a non-Timewave program, entering the fol-
lowing after the
cmd:
command mode prompt will cause the PK-232 to Connect to
yourself:
CONNECT (your callsign) <Enter>
After pressing <Enter>, you should observe the SEND LED light. At the same time,
the DCD LED should light and the TUNING bar graph spread. After a few moments,
your monitor should display:
*** CONNECTED to (your callsign)
Notice that the front panel Connect STATUS LED (CON) has lighted indicating that
the PK-232 is connected to a Packet station. You may also notice that the Converse
LED (CONV) is lit indicating that the PK-232 is ready to Converse with the Packet
station you just connected to (in this case it is yourself).
7. Type a few characters to yourself such as Hello this is my first Packet Connect. My
name is (
name
) then press the <Enter> key.
Shortly after you press the <Enter> key, you should see the message you typed ap-
pear again on your screen. If you had connected to another Packet station, they
would have seen the message you typed at nearly the same time.
This is how a Packet connection is established. Whether you are "Connecting" to an-
other station, a Packet Bulletin Board System (PBBS) or a Networking Switch (more
on this later) this initial procedure must be used to establish each and every Con-
nection.
8. After you have typed a few lines (packets) to yourself, you will probably want to end
the connection or DISCONNECT.
If you are using an AEA program, follow the instructions to DISCONNECT from the
Packet station you are talking to.
If you are using a Computer Terminal or a non-AEA terminal program, the following
will cause the PK-232 to DISCONNECT:
Enter <CONTROL-C> (hold down the Ctrl and then type the letter C). Your monitor
should respond with the command prompt:
cmd:
Enter D <Enter> . (Do not type "ENTER", just press "D"). Your monitor should re-
spond with:
cmd:*** DISCONNECTED: (your callsign)
(your call)*>(your call) (UA)
Note that the front panel Connect Status LED (CON) should go out.
