MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

MCOM ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF

Parameters:

ON Connect, disconnect, UA, and DM frames are monitored.

OFF Only information frames are monitored.

This command enables monitoring of connect and disconnect frames when MONITOR is ON.

When MCOM is OFF, only I frames (packets containing user information) will be displayed. When MCOM is ON four protocol packets will also be displayed. Connect, disconnect, UA, and DM packets that are monitored are indicated by <C>, <D>, <UA>, and <DM>, respectively. As with other monitor commands, the stations monitored are determined by BUDLIST and LCALLS.

Path for SABM received while in link-setup state is not checked.

MCON ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: ON

Parameters:

ON Monitor mode remains active when MFJ-1278B is connected.

OFF Monitor mode is off while the MFJ-1278B is connected.

If MCON is ON, the MONITOR command will enable monitoring while your MFJ-1278B is connected to another TNC. If MCON is OFF, the display of monitored packets is suspended when a connect occurs, and is resumed when the TNC is disconnected.

If you want to see all packets displayed when you are not connected but have such display suppressed when you connect to another station, you should set MCON OFF.
