PX-232 OPERATING MANUAL
Pactor OPERATION
11.9.3 Starting Pactor MailDrop Operation
Remote access to your Pactor MailDrop is controlled by the command TMAIL
which is short for TOR MAIL. The TMAIL command controls remote access to
the Pactor and AMTOR MailDrop in the same way that the MAILDROP command
controls remote Packet access.
Turn the TMAIL command ON (default OFF) to allow remote stations to access
your MailDrop in ARQ Pactor. Turn TMAIL OFF to have normal ARQ QSOO with
other stations in the Pactor mode.
11.9.4 Local Logon to the MailDrop
To locally access your MailDrop use the MDCHECK command as described in
Chapter 5 of this manual on MailDrop operation.
11.9.4.1 Remote Logon to your Pactor MailDrop
The Pactor MailDrop user interface is slightly different from the packet
interface due to the differences between the two modes.
When a station links with your Pactor MailDrop, your PK-232 first
identifies your station by sending your callsign and the amount of free
MailDrop memory as shown below:
Type H for help.
(AEA PK-232M) 18956 free.
The PK-232 then sends the user the MTEXT string if the MailDrop
Message command (MMSG) is ON. The Default text is shown below:
Welcome to my AEA PK-232MBX MailDrop.
Type H for Help
11.9.5 Caller Prompts
The command prompt that the MailDrop sends the remote user in Pactor is
similar to that used in the Packet mode and is shown below:
WX7BBB DE WX7AAA (A,B,H,J,K,L,R,S,V,?) >
As in packet, MDPROMPT is the Pactor MailDrop message prompt sent to a
remote station by your MailDrop. The default prompt is:
Subject:/Enter Message, IZ (CTRL-Z) or /EX to End
Text before the first slash is sent to the user as the subject prompt;
text after the first slash is sent as the message text prompt.
11.9.6 Monitor MailDrop Operation
The local user (SYSOP) can monitor the dialog by setting MDMON ON. The
PX-232 stays in command mode during remote MailDrop access.
