MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE SYSTEM MESSAGES

*** CONNECTED to: call1 [VIA call2[,call3...,call9]]

This message appears when the MFJ-1278B goes from the "disconnected" or "connect in
progress" state to the connected state. The connection may be a result of a CONNECT
command you issued, or of a connect request packet received from another station.

*** connect request:call1 [VIA call2[,call3...,call9]]

This message indicates that the MFJ-1278B has received a connect request from another
station which it has not accepted. This can happen if you have set CONOK OFF or if you
are already connected to another station. When the MFJ-1278B types this message it also
sends a DM packet (busy signal) to the station that initiated the connect request. If the MFJ-
1278B rejects a connect request because you have set CONOK OFF, you can issue your
own request to the station that called.

*** DISCONNECTED

This message is displayed whenever the MFJ-1278B goes to the disconnected state from any
other link state. This message may be preceded by a message explaining the reason for the
disconnect, below.

*** retry count exceeded
*** DISCONNECTED

This message is given if the disconnect was caused by a retry failure rather than by a
disconnect request from one of the stations.

*** <callsign> busy
*** DISCONNECTED

This message indicates that your connect request was rejected by a DM packet (busy signal)
from the other station. The MFJ-1278B will reject a connect request if CONOK is OFF, or
if it is already connected to another station, or the connect request is from a station with a
totally blank callsign.

frmr frame just sent:
FRMR sent: xxxxxx

The MFJ-1278B is connected, and a protocol error has occurred. The MFJ-1278B has sent a
special FRMR packet to attempt to re-synchronize frame numbers with the MFJ-1278B on
the other end. The string xxxxxx is replaced with the hex codes for the three bytes sent in the
information part of the FRMR frame. This message will not appear if your MFJ-1278B is in
Transparent Mode.
