PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91 A-76 201
TMail ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: AMTOR Host: TL
Parameters: ON - The PK-232MBX operates as a personal AMTOR BBS or MailDrop.
OFF - The PK-232MBX only operates as a normal CCIR 476 or 625 controller.
The PK-232's MailDrop is a personal mailbox that uses a subset of the W0RLI/WA7MBL PBBS com-
mands and is similar to operation of APLINK stations. When TMAIL is ON and another station es-
tablishes an ARQ link with your MYSELCAL or MYIDENT, the remote AMTOR station may leave
messages for you or read messages from you. Third-party messages are not accepted by your AM-
TOR MailDrop unless 3RDPARTY is ON.
See the MDCHECK, TMPROMPT, MDMON, MTEXT, MMSG MYSELCAL and MYIDENT commands.
TMPrompt text Default: (see text)
Mode: AMTOR/MailDrop Host: Tp
Parameters: text - Any combination of characters and spaces up to a maximum of 80 bytes.
TMPROMPT is the command line sent to a calling station by your AMTOR MailDrop in response to a
Send message command. The default text is:
GA subj/GA msg, '/EX' to end.
Text before the first slash is sent to the user as the subject prompt; text after the slash is sent as
the message text prompt. If there is no slash in the text, the subject prompt is "SUBJECT:" and
the text prompt is from TMPROMPT.
TRACe ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Packet/FAX/Baudot/AMTOR Host: TR
Parameters: ON - Trace function is activated.
OFF - Trace function is disabled.
Packet:
The TRACE command activates the AX.25 protocol display. When TRACE is ON all received frames
are displayed in their entirety, including all header information. The TRACE display is shown as it
appears on an 80-column display. The following monitored frame is a sample:
W2JUP*>TESTER <UI>:
This is a test message packet.

The byte column shows the offset into the packet of the first byte of the line. The hex display col-
umn shows the next 16 bytes of the packet, exactly as received, in standard hex format. The
shifted ASCII column decodes the highorder seven bits of each byte as an ASCII character code.
The ASCII column decodes the low-order seven bits of each byte as an ASCII character code.
FAX:
When Operating in FAX mode, TRACE is ON, and PRFAX is OFF, the graphics escape sequences
and dot data are sent to the terminal with each byte expanded to two Hexadecimal characters.
