Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B - Manual (Page 203)

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
CONMODE CONVERS/TRANS Mode: Packet Default: CONVERS
Parameters:
CONVERS
Sets automatic entry to Converse Mode when a connection is established.
TRANS
Sets automatic entry to Transparent Mode when a connection is
established.
CONMODE controls which mode the MFJ-1278B will be placed in after a connection is
established. The connection may result either from a connect request received over the air or
a connect initiated by a CONNECT command that you issued. For most operations, you
would set CONMODE to CONVERS. However, if you are using Transparent Mode for a
bulletin board program, for example, you would set CONMODE to TRANS so that the
correct mode will be entered when your bulletin board receives a connect request.
If you initiate a connection with the CONNECT command, the control of Converse or
Transparent Mode is determined by NEWMODE.
If the MFJ-1278B is already in Converse or Transparent Mode when the connection is
completed, the mode will not be changed. If you have typed part of a command line when the
connection is completed, the mode change will not take place until you complete the
command or cancel the line. This prevents the last part of your command from inadvertently
being sent as a packet.
