Epson MFJ-1278B manual Conmode CONVERS/TRANS, Convers, Trans

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

CONMODE CONVERS/TRANS		Mode: Packet	Default: CONVERS
Parameters:
CONVERS	Sets automatic entry to Converse Mode when a connection is established.
TRANS	Sets automatic entry to Transparent Mode when a connection is
	established.

CONMODE controls which mode the MFJ-1278B will be placed in after a connection is established. The connection may result either from a connect request received over the air or a connect initiated by a CONNECT command that you issued. For most operations, you would set CONMODE to CONVERS. However, if you are using Transparent Mode for a bulletin board program, for example, you would set CONMODE to TRANS so that the correct mode will be entered when your bulletin board receives a connect request.

If you initiate a connection with the CONNECT command, the control of Converse or Transparent Mode is determined by NEWMODE.

If the MFJ-1278B is already in Converse or Transparent Mode when the connection is completed, the mode will not be changed. If you have typed part of a command line when the connection is completed, the mode change will not take place until you complete the command or cancel the line. This prevents the last part of your command from inadvertently being sent as a packet.
