MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE ADVANCED OPERATION

Setting Up your Easy-Mail Mailbox

The MFJ Easy-Mail Mailbox can now be operated independently from the standard packet operation. There are certain commands which need to be set. These will be explained later in this instruction.

NOTE: Whenever <CR> is found in this instruction this means to press the RETURN key, not to type <CR>.

1.Under the cmd: prompt, type:

MYMCALL n <CR>

where n is the callsign you wish to use for your mailbox station identification. The MFJ- 1278B will respond with the previous setting of the MYMcall command, followed by the cmd: prompt on the next line.

2.From the cmd: prompt please type:

USERS 1 <CR>

The MFJ-1278B will respond with the previous setting of the USERS command., followed by the cmd: prompt on the next line.

3.If you want your messages time and date stamped, then set DAYTIME with the current information. Please refer to Chapter 6 Page 43 in your MFJ-1278B operations manual, as to how to set the DAYTIME parameter.

Note: An optional TNC real-time clock (MFJ-43) for the MFJ-1278B is available from MFJ Enterprises. With this real-time clock module installed in your MFJ-1278B, the clock will continue to keep time even with the MFJ-1278B turned off. You will not have to set your MFJ-1278B's "DAYTIME" every time your MFJ-1278B is powered up.

4.To access the mailbox type the following from the cmd: prompt:

MAILBOX ON <CR>

Now your MFJ-1278B is ready for simultaneous Mailbox/Packet operations. You as the SYSOP can access your Mailbox by typing:

SYSOP <CR>
