Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B - Manual (Page 189)

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
BLP ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF
Parameters:
ON
Puts the MFJ-1278B into Host Mode
OFF
Takes the MFJ-1278B out of Host Mode
Setting the BLP command to ON, puts the MFJ-1278B into Host Mode. After you turn BLP
ON and enter transparent mode the host code will run. Once BLP is ON, subsequent
RESTARTS and power up cycles will be directly and silently into transparent mode and it
will continue to do so until you turn BLP back OFF or the bbRAM fails.
In order to run the Host Mode code the following commands must be set up as stated:
CONMODE TRANS/CONV
You MUST set CONMODE to TRANS else the first time you're connected you'll lose the
DLC connection! This is actually putting the MFJ-1278B into Transparent mode.
PARITY 0
The Parity must be set to 0 for Host Mode operations.
AWLEN
Set the AWLEN command for 8 bits!
MON ON|OFF
If you have BLP ON and MON ON, >ALL< packets-data, command, beacons, whatever -
will be sent to the host on BLP channel 0x71. If you're being inundated with countless
frames when debugging you might want to turn monitor off to avoid the mess.
MYDLCNUM
DEFLTDLC
Effective only when non-0 MYDLCNUM, this parm tells the TNC what the DLC address is
of the host (ex, MTHOST). Default is 254.
