Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B - Manual (Page 243)

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
Parameter:
ON
Enables printing Non-Printable Characters.
OFF
Discards all Packets containing Non-Printable Characters.
The setting of the MNONPRINT parameter determines whether monitored packets
containing non-printable characters (i.e., characters other than ASCII CR, LF, BEL, and not
between $20 and $7e) are monitored or simply discarded. The default setting permits
monitoring all information packets (subject to LCALLS, MONITOR, MNONAX25, etc).
When MNONPRIN is OFF, information packets containing one or more non-printable
characters are discarded. You may find this command helpful when there are binary transfers
on the channel that you'd rather not monitor. The MNONPRIN command has no effect on
data received during connections.
Monitor ON/OFF
Mode: Pactor Default: ON
The MONITOR command in the PACTOR command set is the same as the other modes.
When not connected and MONITOR is ON, the TNC displays monitored data and connect
attempts.
MONITOR ON/OFF
Mode: Packet Default: ON
Parameters:
ON
Monitoring of all packet activity is enabled.
OFF
Monitoring of all packet activity is disabled.
If the MONITOR command is ON and the MFJ-1278B is not in Transparent Mode, packets
not addressed to your MFJ-1278B may be displayed. The addresses in the packet are
displayed along with the data portion of the packet, e.g.:
N2WX>W5FD-3: I'm ready to transfer the file now.
The calls are separated by a ">" and the sub-station ID field (SSID) is displayed if it is other
than 0. The MALL, BUDLIST, and LCALLS commands determine which packets are to be
monitored. The MCON command controls the action of monitor mode when the MFJ-1278B
is connected. All monitor functions are disabled in Transparent Mode. If MONITOR is
OFF all packets are still monitored, but only packets addressed to you are printed on the
