As mentioned in 2-1, the operational mode is usually “connect mode”. The “cmd:” prompt appears when it is in
the command mode. If it does not appear, use CR or return or Enter key to display it on the screen.
6-2 Converse mode
As briefly mentioned in 2-1, this is the mode to send typed data as a packet. By using the CONVERSE or the K
command from the command mode, the TNC switches to the Converse mode. The TNC also enters the converse
mode when you connect from your station to another station. To return to command mode from the converse mode,
use Ctrl+C.
6-2-1 Converse command
Abbrev. CONV default: none parameter: none
example: CONV
This is to change the mode to CONVERSE mode. The typed data in converse mode will be sent out as a packet.
To return to command mode from the converse mode, use <Ctrl+C>keys.
6-2-2 K
command
Abbrev. K default: none parameter: none
Example: K
This is same as the Converse command. Since this change may be required often, the K is made available as a
shortcut.
6-2-3 8BITCONV command
Abbrev. 8 default ON range ON/OFF
example 8 ON
Sets bit number used in the converse mode. Most terminals in use today use 8 bit ASCII characters.
ON: 8 bit mode is used. For Japanese characters, use this setting.
OFF: 7 bit mode is used.
6-2-4 AFILTER command
Abbrev. AF default $00 range n1 to n4
example AF $05, $1A
Deletes specific characters of character codes in the received packet while connected in the converse mode.
This command may avoid display of illegible characters caused by control commands. The parameters can
support up to 4 characters.
$80 deletes all control codes other than CR and LF
$00 releases filter function.
6-3 Transparent Mode
When the converse mode is used for text communication, some of the control codes such as BS or CR are not
sent. There are also embedded commands to be disregarded by the parameters set for reception mode. The
transparent mode transmits and receives ALL control codes as is. When the TRANS command is sent, the mode
changes from command mode to converse mode.
6-3-1 TRANS command
Abbrev. T default N/A range N/A /T
Use this command to immediately enter the transparent mode. The data typed in transparent mode will be
transmitted as a packet with all control codes. To go back to command mode from the converse mode, do not enter
anything for the time set in the CMDTIME parameter(default 1 second), then within the same time frame set with
