PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-31 156
CONPerm ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: CY
Parameters: ON - The connection on the current channel is maintained.
OFF - The current channel can be disconnected from the other stations.
When ON, CONPERM forces the PK-232 to maintain the current connection, even when frames to
the other station exceed RETRY attempts for an acknowledgment.
CONStamp ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: CG
Parameters: ON - Connect status messages ARE time stamped.
OFF - Connect status messages are NOT time stamped.
CONSTAMP activates time stamping of *** CONNECTED status messages.
If CONSTAMP is ON and DAYTIME (the PK-232's internal clock) is set, the time is sent with CON-
NECT and DISCONNECT messages. For example, if the clock is set and CONSTAMP is ON, a con-
nect and disconnect sequence appears as follows:
cmd:10:55:23 *** CONNECTED to W2JUP
cmd:10:55:59 *** DISCONNECTED: W2JUP
CONVerse ( K for short ) Immediate Command
Mode: All Host: Not Supported
CONVERSE is an immediate command that causes the PK-232 to switch from the Command Mode
into the Converse Mode. The letter "K" may also be used.
Once the PK-232 is in the Converse Mode, all characters typed from the keyboard are processed
and transmitted by your radio. To return the PK-232 to the Command Mode, type the Command
Mode entry character (default is <CTRL-C>).
CPactime ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet Host: CI
Parameters: ON - Packet transmit timer IS used in Converse Mode.
OFF - Packet transmit timer is NOT used in Converse Mode.
CPACTIME activates automatic, periodic packet transmission in the Converse Mode.
When CPACTIME is ON, characters are packetized and transmitted periodically as if in Transparent
Mode. Local keyboard editing and display features of the Converse Mode are available. See the
PACTIME command for a discussion of how periodic packetizing works.
