Computer Interfacing with MFJ Starter Packs
If you are using one of the MFJ Starter Packs, you should use the cable provided
to connect the MFJ TNC and your computer. Follow the instruction manual
provided with the Starter Pack to operate the terminal program and to connect
the MFJ TNC to your computer. After connecting the MFJ TNC to your
computer you can then proceed to the "Computer Baud Rate" section in this
chapter to continue installing the MFJ TNC .
Computer Interface without MFJ Starter Pack
If you are not using a MFJ Starter Packs you should follow the instruction in this
chapter for computer interfacing.
Serial Port Signals
The serial port connector on your MFJ TNC is on the rear panel and is marked
"SERIAL." There are several signals available at this connector. You won't
need all of them for standard normal operation. For some special applications,
such as binary file transfers or some Bulletin Board operations, you may want to
use more of them. In that case, see MFJ TNC Serial Port Pin Functions in
this chapter.
The pins on the serial port connector of the MFJ TNC that must
be connected
are shown in Table 2-1. Note that the MFJ TNC connects to a computer exactly
as if the MFJ TNC were a standard RS-232C modem. If you have successfully
used your computer with a telephone modem, hook it up to the MFJ TNC in the
same way. Use whatever program you ordinarily use to communicate with the
modem.
