CBELL
ON|OFF
Mnemonic:
CB
Default: OFF
Parameters:
ON
Three BELL characters <CTRL-G> ($07) are sent to your terminal with both
the
*** CONNECTED to {call sign}
and the
*** DISCON-
NECTED: {call sign}
messages.
OFF
BELLS are not sent with the CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED messages.
⇒
Set CBELL ON if you want to be notified whenever someone connects to or disconnects from
your station.
⇒
If CBELL is ON and MFILTER contains the character ($07), you can be sure that whenever your
terminal beeps there is a connection for you. At no other time will you hear a beep while you
are in Packet mode.
CFROM
all,none,yes/no call1[,call2..]
Mnemonic:
CF
Default: all
Parameters:
call
all, none, YES - list, NO list.
List of up to eight call signs, separated by commas.
CFROM uses arguments to determine how the PK-88 responds to connect requests - which calls
are accepted and which calls are rejected. CFROM is set to 'all' when you start the PK-88 for the
first time.
CFROM ALL|NONE is synonymous with the CONOK ON|OFF command used in older packet control-
lers and can be used interchangeably if required.
Type
CFROM
to display the ALL/NONE/YES_list/NO - list status of station call signs to be rejected
or accepted. You can use the abbreviated command form or mnemonic:
cmd:
cfrom
CFROM all
cmd:
cf
CFROM yes WX1AAA,WX2BBB,WX3CCC,WX4DDD
To reject all call requests, type
CFROM NONE
. Your PK-88 sends the calling station a DM packet, or
'busy signal.' The caller sees:
{MYCALL} busy
DISCONNECTED: {call sign}
Your PK-88 notifies you of these call requests:
*** Connect request: W1AAA
