it is operating in NEWUSER or TERMINAL Interface Mode.
•
Select the COM PORT and BAUD RATE to use for the current
Pacterm session (i.e., until you exit to DOS).
• Send commands from Pacterm to your TNC.
• Send data from Pacterm (i.e., from your computer) to your TNC and
receive data from your TNC.
• VIEW, PRINT, and/or SAVE information sent from your TNC to your
computer.
• End a session, either of two ways:
•
Disconnect and EXIT to DOS.
•
EXIT directly to DOS.
Other uses of Pacterm are as follows:
•
SEND a file from your computer to your TNC, for transmission.
•
Switch the TNC at any time into Command Mode, making it ready to
accept commands instead of transmitting data.
•
Control the flow of data between Pacterm and your TNC, as follows:
•
From Pacterm to your TNC: Switch between (1) ONLINE, with your
input sent immediately or (2) OFFLINE, with input stored in a
type-ahead buffer and sent when you go back ONLINE.
•
From your TNC to Pacterm: STOP (hold) or START the flow of data
from your TNC to your computer.
