PacComm TINY-2 - Troubleshooting Operation Issues

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
__
Beginning
Packet
Operation
In
the
example
above,
your
packet
controller
entered
Converse
Mode
automatically
after
the
connect
took
place.
To
return
to
Command
Mode,
you
must
enter
a
special
character,
Control-C
(abbreviated
<
-C>),
or
else
send
a
BREAK
signal.
“Control”
characters
are
usually
entered
by
holding
down
a
special
control
key
and
then
sping
another
key
without
releas-
ing
the
control
key.
If
your
keyboard
doesn’t
have
a
key
marked
Cc
or
something
similar,
consult
the
documentation
for
your
computer
or
terminal
program
to
see
how
to
enter
control
characters.
A
BREAK
signal
is
a
special
transmission
(not
an
ASCII
character)
which
your
computer
may
be
able
to
produce.
OTE:
If
<CIFRL-C>
will
cause
your
computer
to
do
mething
to
interfere
with
packet
operations,
such
as
alting
the
terminal
program,
and
you
can’t
send
BREAK
ignals,
you
will
have
to
change
the
character
that
returns
‘ou
to
Command
Mode.
See
the
section
on
“Special
Input
Characters,”
below.
Now
type
a
<CIRL-C>.
The
packet
controller
doesn’t
echo
the
<
-C
>,
but
you
should
immediately
see
a
Command
Mode
prompt.
To
terminate
the
connection,
you
must
type
the
Disconnect
command.
The
packet
controller
will
transmit
pack-
ets
terminating
the
conversation
and
notify
you
when
the
dis-
connect
is
complete:
cmd:Disconnect
*** DISCONNECTED
An
actual
connection
might
be
ended
by
the
other
station.
In
that
case,
you
would
see
the
***
DISCONNECTED
message
without
having
issued
the
command.
In Case of Difficulty
If
there
is
difficulty
getting
a
connection
established,
you
can
t
the
following
procedure.
Both
stations
should
set
Monitor
ON,
then
enter
Converse
Mode
and
send
some
packets.
Each
station
should
display
the
packets
sent
by
the
other.
If
only
one
station
is
“hearing”
properly,
you
can
concentrate
on
the
modulator
and
transmitter
of
that
station
and
the
demodulator
and
receiver
of
the
other
station.
You
can
try
experimenting
with
the
TXDelay
timing
parameter
for
the
sending
packet
controller.
Set
TXDelay
64
for
a
long
delay.
If
this
solves
the
problem,
try
shorter
and
shorter
delays
and
use
the
smallest
value
that
works
consistently.
