Determining Which Port You Have Connected To
When you are connected to a multi-port node, you can determine which port you
are on, at the node, by using the JHEARD command. A typical node response to
the JHEARD command may appear on your display as shown (the KAM uses /H
and /V instead of /1 and /2):
N66046/2* 12/01/87 14:32:69
NØKN-1/1 12/01/87 16:25:01
WØXI/2 12/02/87 16:28:05
NØGZZ/1 12/02/87 16:32:09
In this illustration the number following the slash (/) indicates the port the station
was heard on. Your callsign will usually be the last one in this list.
You can now see that by comparing the port on which your call appears in the
JHEARD list to the port indicated for other stations, you can determine whether
to CONNECT or XCONNECT to the station of your choice.
