PACKET CONTROLLER COMMANDS Command List
(CANPac Command Continued)
Packet cancellation, like other input editing features, is disabled
in Transparent Mode.
The cancel-packet character also functions to cancel display out-
put
in
Command
Mode.
If
you
are
in
Command
Mode
and
type
the cancel-packet character, any characters that would be typed
on the screen (except echoed characters) are “thrown away” by
the packet controller. Typing the cancel-output character a
second time restores output.
To see how this works, try typing DISPlay, then type a <CTRL-
Y> The command list display will stop. You won't see any
response from the packet controller to commands. Now
another <CTRL-Y>, and type DISPlay again to show the dis-
play is back to normal.
The CBell command is used to control whether an ASCII $07
(BELL) character is sent as part of the connected message. When
set ON, the bell character immediately precedes the asterisk
portion of the connected indication. This command is not related
to the MFilter command. CBell will produce a >CONNECT
BELY’ even if MFilter is set to delete incoming $07 (BELL)
characters.
Avalue or 0 disables this feature. . :
This command sets a connection timeout. When your packet
controller
and
another
station
are
connected,
and
the
other
sta-
tion “disappears,” the packet controller will try to clean up the
link
if
the
specified
time
elapses
without
any
packets
being
heard
from the other packet controller. This feature depends on the
setting
of
AX25L2V2.
If
AX25L2V2
is
ON,
the
packet
controller
will
send
a
“check
acket”
if
no
packets
have
been
heard
from
it
for
n*
10
seconds.
the
receiving
packet
controller
is
still
connected,
it
sends
an
appropriate
response
packet.
If
the
packet
controller
initiating
the
inquiry
does
not
hear
a
response
after
RETRY
+
1
attempts,
it commences a disconnect sequence, as if the Disconnect com-
mand had been given.
If
AX2512V2
is
OFF
and
the
other
station
has
not
been
heard
for n*10 seconds, the packet controller will not attempt an in-
quiry,
but
will
send
a
disconnect
frame.
