MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
CONPERM ON/OFF
Mode: Packet Default: OFF
Parameters:
ON
The current connection on the current stream will not be allowed to enter the
disconnected state.
OFF
The current stream may be connected to and disconnected from other stations.
This command, when switched ON, forces the MFJ-1278B to always maintain the current
connection, even when frames to the other station exceed RETRY attempts to get an
acknowledgment. RESTART and power off/on cycling will not affect this connected state.
This command only takes effect when a connection is established. It functions on a stream-
by-stream basis when multiple connections are allowed.
It is useful for certain networking applications, meteor scatter and other noisy, less-reliable
links, while still allowing connections on other streams to operate normally (automatic
disconnect based on RETRY, etc.).
