MFJ-1270C/1274C MANUAL BASIC OPERATION
Page 31
Basic Parameters Setup
With the MFJ TNC sign-on, you are now ready to start setting up the parameters
you will use. You may be satisfied with most of the defaults for now, but a few
parameters will have to be changed! Let's try entering your call
sign. Type:
cmd:MYCALL K5FLU
MYCALL was NOCALL
cmd:
Type the text, MYCALL K5FLU, following the command mode prompt. Of
course, you should substitute your own call sign for K5FLU. Don't forget the
<CR> at the end of the line. Your call sign will be used by the MFJ TNC as its
"address." The MFJ TNC responds by telling you the previous value of the
MYCALL parameter, and gives you a new Command Mode prompt.
Note that commands are entered by inserted a carriage return <CR> after each
command is typed. Note also that carriage return may also be marked as
<enter> on some computer keyboards.
Now try typing just the command by itself:
cmd:MYCALL
MFJ TNC will respond with:
MYCALL K5FLU
You can see the current value of most parameters by typing the command that
sets the parameter followed by just a <CR>. This verifies that the MFJ TNC
accepted your call sign.
The next section describes the commands you will use to configure the MFJ
TNC for proper text display for your particular computer. You may not use
these commands again unless you change computers or terminal programs.
