Epson MFJ-1278B manual Monitor ON/OFF Mode Pactor Default on

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

Parameter:

ON Enables printing Non-Printable Characters.

OFF Discards all Packets containing Non-Printable Characters.

The setting of the MNONPRINT parameter determines whether monitored packets containing non-printable characters (i.e., characters other than ASCII CR, LF, BEL, and not between $20 and $7e) are monitored or simply discarded. The default setting permits monitoring all information packets (subject to LCALLS, MONITOR, MNONAX25, etc). When MNONPRIN is OFF, information packets containing one or more non-printable characters are discarded. You may find this command helpful when there are binary transfers on the channel that you'd rather not monitor. The MNONPRIN command has no effect on data received during connections.

Monitor ON/OFF Mode: Pactor Default: ON

The MONITOR command in the PACTOR command set is the same as the other modes. When not connected and MONITOR is ON, the TNC displays monitored data and connect attempts.

MONITOR ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: ON

Parameters:

ON Monitoring of all packet activity is enabled.

OFF Monitoring of all packet activity is disabled.

If the MONITOR command is ON and the MFJ-1278B is not in Transparent Mode, packets not addressed to your MFJ-1278B may be displayed. The addresses in the packet are displayed along with the data portion of the packet, e.g.:

N2WX>W5FD-3: I'm ready to transfer the file now.

The calls are separated by a ">" and the sub-station ID field (SSID) is displayed if it is other than 0. The MALL, BUDLIST, and LCALLS commands determine which packets are to be monitored. The MCON command controls the action of monitor mode when the MFJ-1278B is connected. All monitor functions are disabled in Transparent Mode. If MONITOR is OFF all packets are still monitored, but only packets addressed to you are printed on the
