MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS


Parameters:

ON

The MFJ-1278B will translate the character immediately following the

STREAMSWITCH character to upper case before processing it.


OFF

The MFJ-1278B will process the character immediately following the

STREAMSWITCH character as it is entered.


When operating multi-connect, the user must enter a stream identifier (default A through J)
after the STREAMSWITCH character (default |) to select a new logical stream to send data.
Normally, the stream identifier must be in upper case, or an error message will result.

When LCSTREAM is ON, the character immediately following the streamswitch character
is converted to upper case before being acted upon. Thus, the case (upper or lower) becomes
insignificant. Use of LCSTREAM is useful if you are typing in lower case and don't want to
be bothered with remembering to switch to upper case when changing streams.

LEdmode 0/1

Mode: Pactor Default: 1


The LEdmode parameter controls whether the MFJ-1278B flashed it's LEDs radidly for each
cycle a 200 baud packet is sent, received, or expected. The user may find the flashing of
benefit in evaluating link quality. It is also an indication that the high-throughput 200 baud
mode is active. Also see the NO200 parameter.


LFadd ON/OFF

Mode: Pactor Default OFF


When LFADD is ON and PACTOR mode is selected, the MFJ-1278B will append an
ASCII line feed character, $OA, to the transmission immediately after a carriage return is
sent

LFADD should usually be switched to the OFF, as a vast majority of data controllers,
including the MFJ-1278B are configured to automatically go to a new line whenever a
carriage return is printed. Also see: AUTOLF command
