PK-232 MBX Operating Manual - N3UJJ

_______________________________________________________________________________
HOMebbs call
Default: (none)
Mode: Packet/MailDrop
Host: HM
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
call - Call Sign of your HOME BBS with which you have made prior arrangements
to Auto-Forward.
_______________________________________________________________________________
This is the Call Sign of your local or HOME BBS that you will use for Reverse
Forwarding messages. You must make special arrangements with the system
operator of this BBS to set you up for Reverse Forwarding. The SSID is not
compared when matching HOMEBBS to the source call sign of an incoming packet.
_______________________________________________________________________________
HOST "n" Default: 0
Mode: All
Host: HO
_________________________________ Parameters: _________________________________
"n" - A hexadecimal value from $00 through $FF setting bits from the table
below that define the Host operation of the PK-232.
_______________________________________________________________________________
The HOST command enables the "computer-friendly" HOST communications mode, over
the PK-232's RS-232 link. To cancel HOST mode, send 3- characters as if
exiting the Transparent mode, or type O H O N . Sending a
Break signal will not cause the PK-232 to exit from the HOST mode.
Bit 0:
Controls whether the HOST mode is ON or OFF.
If bit 0 is equal to 0, HOST is OFF.
If bit 0 is equal to 1, HOST is ON.
Bit 1:
Controls the local MailDrop access.
If bit 1 is equal to 0, then the Maildrop Send data uses the $20
block. Read data uses the the $2F block as
before. Monitored MXMIT data uses the $3F
(monitored receive) block type.
If bit 1 is equal to 1, then the MailDrop send data uses the $60 block
type. Read data uses the $70 block type.
Monitored MXMIT data uses the $2F (echoed)
block type to differentiate between monitored
transmitted and received frames.
Bit 2:
Controls the DSP-2232's extended HOST Mode.
Bits 3-7 are reserved for future use.
To maintain backward compatibility with older programs written to use the ON/OFF
form of the HOST command, HOST ON is equivalent to HOST $01 described above.
However programmers must note that HOST now returns a numeric value and not ON
or OFF as before.
See Timewave's PK-232 Technical Manual for full information on Host Mode.
