PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-45 170
This identification consists of a UI-frame with your station identification (MYCALL) and MYALIAS in
the data field. The packet is addressed to "ID".
NOTE: You cannot change the 9.5-minute automatic interval timing.
HOMebbs call Default: (none)
Mode: Packet/MailDrop Host: HM
Parameters: call - Call Sign of your HOME BBS with which you have made prior arrangements
to Auto-Forward.
This is the Call Sign of your local or HOME BBS that you will use for Reverse Forwarding messages.
You must make special arrangements with the system operator of this BBS to set you up for Re-
verse Forwarding. The SSID is not compared when matching HOMEBBS to the source call sign of
an incoming packet.
HOST "n" Default: 0
Mode: All Host: HO
Parameters: "n" - A hexadecimal value from $00 through $FF setting bits from the table below
that define the Host operation of the PK-232.
The HOST command enables the "computer-friendly" HOST communications mode, over the PK-
232's RS-232 link. To cancel HOST mode, send 3-<CTRL-C> characters as if exiting the Transpar-
ent mode, or type <CTRL-A> O H O N <CTRL-W>. Sending a Break signal will not cause the PK-
232 to exit from the HOST mode.
Bit 0: Controls whether the HOST mode is ON or OFF.
If bit 0 is equal to 0, HOST is OFF.
If bit 0 is equal to 1, HOST is ON.
Bit 1: Controls the local MailDrop access.
If bit 1 is equal to 0, then the Maildrop Send data uses the $20 block. Read data uses the
the $2F block as before. Monitored MXMIT data uses the $3F (moni-
tored receive) block type.
If bit 1 is equal to 1, then the MailDrop send data uses the $60 block type. Read data uses
the $70 block type. Monitored MXMIT data uses the $2F (echoed)
block type to differentiate between monitored transmitted and re-
ceived frames.
Bit 2: Controls the DSP-2232's extended HOST Mode.
Bits 3-7 are reserved for future use.
To maintain backward compatibility with older programs written to use the ON/OFF form of the
HOST command, HOST ON is equivalent to HOST $01 described above. However programmers
must note that HOST now returns a numeric value and not ON or OFF as before.
See Timewave's PK-232 Technical Manual for full information on Host Mode.
