MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

CTEXT text		Mode: Packet	Default: ""
Parameters:
text	Any combination of characters and spaces, up to a maximum length of 120
	characters.

CTEXT specifies the text of the packet to be sent after a connection is made, if CMSG is ON. The default text is an empty string, i.e., no message.

You can send multiple-line messages by including carriage return (<CR>) characters in the text. The <CR> character can be included by using the pass character immediately preceding it (see the PASS command). If you enter a text string longer than 120 characters, an error message will appear and the command will be ignored.

For example, you might set your CTEXT message to

I'm not here right now, but you may leave a message.

To clear the CTEXT text without issuing a RESET command, use a % or & as the first character in the message. You cannot connect to yourself and see your CTEXT unless going thru a digipeater. CMSG only takes effect if you are connected to by another TNC.

CSTATUS Mode: Packet Immediate Command

CSTATUS is an immediate command which shows the stream identifier and link state of all ten streams (links), the current input and output streams, and whether or not each stream is "permanent" (see CONPERM).

An example of a display resulting from issuing a CSTATUS command is:

cmd: CS

A stream - IO Link state is: CONNECTED to 305MLB

B stream - Link state is: CONNECTED to AD7I P

C stream - Link state is: DISCONNECTED

D stream - Link state is: CONNECTED to N0ADI via K9NG-2

......

I stream - Link state is: CONNECT in progress

J stream - Link state is: CONNECTED to KV7B via NK6K-1
