Epson MFJ-1278B manual Cmsg ON/OFF, Cmsgdisc ON/OFF

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

CMSG ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF

Parameters:

ON A text message is sent as the first packet after a connection is established.

OFF The text message is not sent.

CMSG enables automatic sending of the message set by CTEXT whenever your MFJ-1278B accepts a connect request from another TNC.

For example, if you have left your station running even though you do not want to operate just now, you might want to set CMSG ON to let people know that you cannot talk when they connect to your MFJ-1278B. When you are ready to operate, you would set CMSG OFF.

CMSGDISC ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF

Parameters:

ON Automatic disconnect enabled

OFF Automatic disconnect disabled

This command controls whether the MFJ-1278B will initiate a disconnect sequence after it is connected to.

If CMSG is OFF, or CTEXT has no connected text, the MFJ- 1278B initiates a disconnect immediately upon receiving information or acknowledgement frames from the other station.

If CMSG is ON end CTEXT contains some text information, the MFJ-1278B initiates a disconnect after the packet containing connect text (CTEXT) is acknowledged.

This command may be useful to bulletin board operators or others with a need to send a short message, confirm its receipt, and disconnect.

NOTE: Use this command with care! If you find you're able to receive connects, yet never get data, it's possible CMSGDisc has been left on. It's also possible is that RS-232 DCD is holding the terminal off. See Chapter 5 for details on hardware flow control.
