MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

TRANS Mode: Packet Immediate Command

This is an immediate command. It causes the MFJ-1278B to exit from Command Mode into Transparent Mode. The current link state is not affected.

Transparent Mode is primarily useful for computer communications. In this mode, the "human interface" features such as input editing capability, echoing of input characters, and type-in flow control are disabled. You may find Transparent Mode useful for computer Bulletin Board operations or for transferring non-text files. See the discussion of Transparent Mode in Chapter 5.

TRFLOW ON/OFF Mode:Packet Default: OFF

Parameters:

ON Software flow control can be enabled for the computer or terminal in Transparent Mode.

OFF Software flow control is disabled for the computer or terminal in Transparent Mode.

If TRFLOW is ON, the settings of START and STOP are used to determine the type of flow control used in Transparent Mode. If TRFLOW is OFF, only hardware flow control is available to the computer and all characters received by the MFJ-1278B are transmitted as data. If START and STOP are set to $00, disabling the User Stop and User Restart characters, hardware flow control must always be used by the computer.

If TRFLOW is ON, and START and STOP are non-zero, software flow control is enabled for the user's computer or terminal. The MFJ-1278B will respond to the User's Restart and User's Stop characters (set by START and STOP) while remaining transparent to all other characters from the terminal. Unless TXFLOW is also ON, only hardware flow control is available to the MFJ-1278B to control output from the terminal.
