Real-Time Clock and Time Stamping
You can enable the MFJ TNC's real-time clock by setting the date and time with
the command DAYTIME. Once you have set the clock, you can request the
time by entering DAYTIME with no parameters. The format of date and time
display is controlled by the command DAYUSA. If the MFJ TNC is powered
off, DAYTIME will have to be reset.
An optional Real-time clock module (MFJ-43) may be installed inside your MFJ
TNC to keep the TNC clock running when the TNC is powered off. With this
clock module installed you will no longer need to reset the TNC clock. Contact
MFJ or MFJ dealer for information on the MFJ-43 TNC real-time clock.
Monitored packets can be time-stamped if DAYTIME has been set. To enable
this function, set MSTAMP ON. You can also time-stamp connect and
disconnect messages with the command CONSTAMP ON.
Multi-Connect Guide
Multiple connection capability is a very powerful addition to the MFJ TNC It is
very useful for traffic net operation, multi-user bulletin boards, path checking
and so forth.
Multiple connection operation is not the same as multi-way operation. With
multiple connect, you may establish several point-to-point "links" with various
stations. Multi-way, which is not available, would enable multiple stations to be
simultaneously interconnected to each other, with each station seeing all data
passed from any station in the group, error free.
Multiple connection operation is another step on the road to proper networking,
and networking should eventually allow multi-way operation.
Setting the MFJ TNC to Normal Operation
The MFJ TNC defaults the multi-connection-related commands to the following
parameters:
CONPERM OFF
