MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

MSTAMP ON/OFF

Mode: Packet Default: OFF


Parameters:

ON

Monitored frames are time stamped.


OFF

Monitored frames are not time stamped.


The MSTAMP command enables time stamping of monitored packets. The date and time
information is then available for use for automatic logging of packet activity or other
computer applications. The date and time are set initially by the DAYTIME command, and
the date format is determined by the DAYUSA command.

Setting MSTAMP ON increases the length of the address display, and you may wish to set
HEADERLN ON as well to display this information on a separate line.


MTIMEOUT n

Mode: Packet Default: 30


Parameters:

n 0 - 250, specifying 10 sec. intervals.


The MTIMEOUT command specifies the packet mailbox timeout in 10 second intervals.
Timeouts on the mailbox apply only to remote users (the SYSOP can never time out). The
mailbox will timeout and discon-nect after n*10 seconds of mailbox inactivity. Note that the
synchronous 10 second clock may cause the timeout to occur as much as 10 seconds before
the calculated timeout time. So, if you want to set your Mailbox timeout to 5 minutes then
you set the MTimeout command to 30, which would specify a time-out of 300 seconds.

If the MTIMEOUT command is a non-zero value, the timeout is disabled.
