cmd:
Make note of the firmware Release date on the first page of this manual. This is im-
portant should you ever need to call AEA for technical support.
11. If you are using an AEA program, follow the instructions in the program manual to
enter the packet callsign (MYCALL) of AAA into the PK-232. Even though this is not
your callsign, please do this for this procedure. You must change it to YOUR OWN
CALLSIGN following this procedure.
If you are using a Computer Terminal or a non-AEA terminal program the following
will set your packet callsign to AAA:
Enter MYCALL by typing MY AAA <Enter> (or <RETURN>). (<RETURN> or
<Enter> means type the single key on your keyboard.)
Your monitor should display:
MYcall was PK232
MYcall now AAA
12. Turn the front-panel THRESHOLD control fully Counterclockwise (CCW) and notice
that the DCD LED is not lighted. Then turn the THRESHOLD control fully Clockwise
(CW) – the DCD LED should now light. Adjust the THRESHOLD until the DCD LED
just goes out. This should occur between the 2-o'clock and 4-o'clock position.
13. If you are using an AEA program follow the instructions to CONNECT in Packet
mode to AAA. Since you have just entered your callsign as AAA, you will connect to
yourself.
If you are using a Computer Terminal or a non-AEA program, entering the following
after the cmd: command mode prompt will cause the PK-232 to Connect to AAA:
C AAA <Enter>
After a few moments, your monitor should display:
*** CONNECTED to AAA
14. Type HELLO SELF <Enter>
After a few moments, your monitor should echo the same message.
