mis-typed.

Here

the

user

mis-typed

the

first

three

characters

of

the

call

si

and

rubbed

them

out.

The

_Packet

controller

displayed

“\”

for

each

character

rubbed

out.

The

user

then

retyped

the

characters

correctly

and

redisplayed

the

line.

He

finished

typing

the

call

sign

on

the

new

line.

The

redisplay-line

character

can

be

changed

to

any

ASCII

character

by

the

command

REDisplay.

If

your

packet

controller

displays

information

faster

than

you

can

read

it

before

it

scrolls

o

the

screen,

you

may

halt

the

display

by

typing

<CTRL-S>.

To

resume

scrolling,

enter

<

¢

"I

RI

-Q>.

These

characters

can

be

changed

to

any

ASCII

character

by

the

commands

STOp

and

STArt.

You

can

include

any

character

in

a

packet,

including

any

special

character,

by

prefixing

it

with

the

pass

character,

<

CTRLV

>.

For

example,

I

wasn’t

at

the

meeting.

<

CTRL-V

>

<CR>

What

happened?

Ordinarily,

this

message

would

be

sent

as

two

packets.

By

prefix-

ing

the

first

<CR>

with

<CTRL-V>,

it

is

sent

all

at

once,

but

maintains

the

<CR>

in

the

text.

The

pass

character

can

be

changed

to

any

ASCH

character

by

the

command

PASs.

Operating

Modes

The

packet

controller

has

four

operating

modes.

Two

of

these

modes,

Command

Mode

and

Converse

Mode,

were

discussed

above.

The

third

mode,

Transparent

Mode,

is

a

data-transfer

mode

like

Converse

Mode

but

is

intended

primarily

for

com-

puter

data

interchange

rather

than

human

conversation.

The

other

data-transfer

mode,

KISS,

is

a

specialized

data-transfer

mode

for

use

for

MicroSat

satellite

access

and

the

TCP/IP

protocol.

:

Command

Mede

Command

Mode

is

used

to

enter

commands

which

alter

the

packet

controller’s

operating

parameters.

The

other

modes

are

entered

from

Command

Mode.

When

the

packet

controller

is

in

Command

Mode,

the

Command

Mode

pron

t,

“cmd:”

is

rinted

at

the

beginning

of

each

input

line.

Note,

however,

that

if

the

packet

controller

has

received

and

displayed

packets,

the

prompt

may

have

scrolled

off

the

screen.

.

The

packet

controller

will

be

in

Command

Mode

when

power

is

turned

on.

After

a

power-off,

power-on

sequence,

or

the

restart

command,
