4.8.1
Transparent Mode
One of these features is the TRANSPARENT mode. The TRANSPARENT mode allows any
8-bit binary character to be sent by your Packet station. You usually must use the TRANS-
PARENT mode to transfer binary and executable files to and from other stations.
You can either enter the TRANSPARENT mode by typing TRANS at the command prompt
after you connect, or by setting the CONMODE command to TRANS. Either way, once you
enter the transparent mode, any character you type will be sent automatically after the
PACTIME setting. This way any character can be sent by the PK-232. Although we recom-
mend using HARDWARE flow control in transparent mode, SOFTWARE flow control is
available with the TRFLOW and TXFLOW commands.
To get back to Command mode after you are finished with transparent mode, you must
type the COMMAND character (default <CTRL-C>) 3 times within the "Guard time" set by
the CMDTIME command (default 1-second).
4.8.2 Sending 8-bit Data in Converse Mode
Sometimes you may need to send a file that contains some 8-bit data, but not need all
the features of the TRANSPARENT mode. In this case, you may find turning the command
8BITCONV ON is all that is needed.
4.8.3 The ALTMODEM Command
The PK-232 has the ability to connect an optional 2400 bits/sec DPSK modem that can be
factory installed. This command is ONLY used to select this modem if it has been in-
stalled.
4.8.4 The CFROM Command
If you ever want to limit the number of stations or exclude certain stations from connect-
ing to you you may do so with the CFROM Command.
4.8.5 Operating in Full-Duplex
Most Packet operation is carried on over Half-Duplex transceivers that can only transmit or
receive but not do both at the same time. In some systems where a separate transceiver
and receiver is used such as satellite operation you may want to take advantage of the
FULLDUP Command in the PK-232.
4.8.6 Identifying as a Digipeater
If your PK-232 is being used as the primary digipeater in a local area, you may want to
enable the HID command. HID will automatically identify your station for others to see.
4.8.7
Digipeater Alias Callsign
If your Packet station is being used as the primary digipeater in your local area, you may
want to choose a simpler identifier for others to use with the MYALIAS Command.
4.8.8 Morse ID in Packet
In most countries Packet is an accepted mode of identification so this command should be
left OFF. In some countries however a Morse ID is required when Packet is used and so
the MID command should be enabled.
