• Paclen
n
(
n
= 0 – 255) {128/128}
This command specifies the maximum length of the data portion of a packet. The KPC-9612 will
automatically send a packet when the number of input characters reaches
n
. This setting applies
to both the Convers and Transparent Modes. Setting a value of 0 will allow a maximum of 256 data
characters in a packet.

• PACTime [Every|After]
n
(
n
= 0 – 255) {AFTER 10}
The time specified by this command is used in Transparent Mode to cause packets to be transmit-
ted periodically. When set to AFTER n, a packet will be transmitted when input from the terminal
stops for
n
×100 milliseconds or when PACLEN is reached. When EVERY n is specified, a packet
will be transmitted every
n
×100 milliseconds or when PACLEN is reached. The KPC-9612 will not
transmit a packet that contains no data. If CPACTIME is ON, this command will have the same
function in Convers Mode.

• PASs
n
(
n
= $00 – $FF) {$16 <Ctrl-V>}
The PASS command sets the characters used to transmit those characters which normally have
special meaning to the KPC-9612 when operating in the Convers Mode. A list of the special charac-
ters can be displayed with the command DISPLAY C. In order to transmit any of these, you must
precede that character with the PASS character. For instance, if you want to send a <Ctrl-C> to
the station you are talking to, you must type <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-C> since a <Ctrl-C> would normally
return you to the Command Mode.
• PASSAll ON|OFF {OFF/OFF}
When OFF, packets will only be displayed if the CRC (error checking) is correct, and according to
the monitor commands. When this command is ON, the KPC-9612 will print packets to your termi-
nal regardless of whether or not the CRC is correct. A complete packet, determined by the begin-
ning and ending flags, must be received before an attempt is made to decode. If both flags are
not received, the data will not be decoded MHEARD, ND HEARD, and PHEARD logging are disabled
when this command is on.
NOTE: Turning PASSALL ON will not cause your TNC to acknowledge connected packets if the CRC
is incorrect, it simply displays them on your terminal.
