MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

RESTART

Mode: All


RESTART is an immediate command. It re-initializes the MFJ-1278B using the commands
previously set by the user, and stored in bbRAM. The effect of this command is the same as
turning the MFJ-1278B OFF then ON again.

RESTART does not cause a reset of the parameters in bbRAM. See also the RESET
command.


RESET

Mode: All


RESET is an immediate command. When invoked, it resets all parameters to their default
settings and re-initializes the MFJ-1278B.

WARNING: All parameter customizing and monitor lists are lost when this command is
used.

If you just need to re-initialize the MFJ-1278B using the parameter values in battery backed-
up RAM, you can just turn the MFJ-1278B OFF, then ON again rather,than using this
command.


RESPTIME n

Mode: Packet Default: 5


Parameters:

n 0 - 250, specifying 100 ms intervals.


This command sets a minimum delay that is imposed on acknowledgment packets. This
delay may run concurrently with default wait set by DWAIT and any random wait in effect.

This delay can be used to increase throughput during operations such as file transfer when the
sending TNC usually sends the maximum number of full-length packets. Occasionally, the
sending TNC may not have a packet ready in time to prevent transmission from being
stopped temporarily, with the result that the acknowledgment of earlier packets collides with
the final packet of the series. If the receiving TNC sets RESPTIME to 10, say, these
collisions will be avoided.

RESTORE

Mode: AMTOR Immediate Command


RESTORE returns the MFJ-1278B AMTOR code converter to "LTRS" case, and it flushes
