<strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> OPERATING MANUAL<br />
COMMAND SUMMARY<br />
PACTime EVERY/AFTER -n-<br />
Mode: Packet<br />
Default:AFTER 10 (1000 msec.<br />
Host: PT<br />
Parameters:<br />
"n"<br />
EVERY<br />
AFTER<br />
- 01 to 250 specifies 100-millisecond intervals.<br />
- Packet time-out occurs every “n”' times 100 milliseconds.<br />
- Packet time-out-occurs when “n” times 100 milliseconds elapse without<br />
input from the computer or terminal.<br />
The PACTIME parameter sets the amount of time in 100 msec increments that the <strong>PK</strong>-<br />
<strong>232</strong> will wait for a character to be received on the serial port before sending a<br />
packet in Transparent Mode. The PACTIME parameter is always used in Transparent<br />
Mode but is also used in Converse Mode if CPACTIME is ON.<br />
When EVERY is specified, the characters you type are “packetized” every “n” times<br />
100 milliseconds. When AFTER is specified, the characters you type are<br />
“Packetized” when input from the terminal stops for “n” times 100 milliseconds.<br />
The PACTIME timer is not started until the first character or byte is entered. A<br />
value of 0 (zero) for "n" means packets are sent with no wait time.<br />
PACTor (PT for short) Immediate Command<br />
Mode: Command<br />
Host: Pt<br />
Pactor is an immediate command that switches the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> into the Pactor mode of<br />
operation. This mode is an option.<br />
Pactor is a mode of data communication that combines some of the features of both<br />
AMTOR and packet. The abbreviated command is PT. It has both a linked mode<br />
called ARQ and a non-linked mode called unproto. See Chapter 11 for details.<br />
PARity "n"<br />
Mode: All<br />
Parameters:<br />
Default: 3 (even)<br />
Host: PR<br />
“n” — 0 to 3 selects a parity option from the table below.<br />
PARITY sets the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong>'s parity for RS-<strong>232</strong> terminal according to the table below:<br />
0 no parity 2 no parity<br />
1 odd parity 3 even parity<br />
The parity bit, if present, is stripped automatically on input and is not checked<br />
in command and Converse Modes. In Transparent Mode all eight bits (including<br />
parity) are transmitted.<br />
The change will not take effect until a RESTART is performed. Be sure to change<br />
the computer or terminal to the same parity setting.<br />
