Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B - Manual (Page 202)

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
COMMAND n Mode: All Default: $03
Parameters:
n 0 - $7F, specifying an ASCII character code.
This command is used to change the Command Mode entry character. You can enter the
code in either hex or decimal.
Command Mode is entered from Converse Mode when this character is typed. If you type
the Command Mode entry character while you are already in Command Mode, nothing will
happen. To see how this works, enter Converse Mode by typing CONVERS. Anything you
type will become packet data. Now type a <CTRL-C>. You will see the Command Mode
prompt, indicating successful exit from CONVERSE mode to Command Mode. The display
might look like this:
cmd: CONVERS
Hello World! I'm on the air on packet radio!
[enter <CTRL-C>]
cmd:
See the entry under CMDTIME or the discussion of Transparent Mode in Chapter 5 for
information on how the Command Mode entry character is used for escape from Transparent
Mode.
For terminals without a "control" key, you will have to reasign another key such as a graphic
symbol or punctuation mark which is normally not used in operations.
The default COMMAND character is <CTRL-C>.
