Mode: Packet Default: OFF


Parameters:

Switching to data transfer mode occurs at the time of the CONNECT command and

return to command mode is automatic at the time of disconnection.

OFF

Switching to data transfer mode occurs at time of connection and no return to

command mode occurs at disconnection.

connections are made and broken.

If NEWMODE is OFF, the MFJ-1278B will remain in Command Mode after you issue a
CONNECT command until a connection is actually established. When the connection is
established, the MFJ-1278B will enter Converse Mode or Transparent Mode, depending on

Converse or Transparent Mode unless you have forced it to return to Command Mode. This
