characters
received
from other stations and STReamsw(itch) characters internally
generated by your packet comtroler. nnn
NOTE: The STReamsw(itch) character must NOT be one of the
ers A-
the character used by both the packet
controller and the user that a new “stream” (connection channel)
is being addressed.
The character can be PASsed in CONVerse mode. It is alwa
ignored as a user-initiated stream switch in Transparent mode,
and flows through as data. This means that the outgoing stream
can not be changed while “on line” in Transparent mode (you
must
escape
to
command
mode
to
switch
streams).
Also see the STREAMDb!I and STREAMCal! commands.

When

is
ON,
all

will
be
displayed
in
their
entirety,

all

information.
In
normal
operation
you
will
probably
never
need
this
function;
however,
if
you
need
to
report
an
apparent
software
bug,
provide
trace
information
if
possible.
A

display
will
appear
in
four
columns
on
an

display.
Following
is
an

of
a
