PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
NEWMODE ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON -
The PK-88 automatically returns to the Command Mode at disconnect.
OFF -
The PK-88 does not return to Command Mode at disconnect.
NEWMODE determines how the PK-88 behaves when the link is broken.
The PK-88 always switches to a data transfer mode at the time of connection, unless
NOMODE is ON.
Set NEWMODE for the type of operation most suitable to your needs.
If NEWMODE is OFF and the link is disconnected, the PK-88 remains in Converse or
Transparent Mode unless you have forced it to return to Command Mode.
When NEWMODE is ON and the link is disconnected, or if the connect attempt fails, the
PK-88 returns to Command Mode.
Certain electronic mail, packet bulletin board or other host computer programs may
require NEWMODE to be set OFF. Please consult the software provider for additional
information in this regard.
NOMODE ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON -
The PK-88 switch modes (Command, Converse, Transparent) only upon explicit
command. NEWMODE function is ignored.
OFF -
The PK-88 changes modes according to NEWMODE.
When NOMODE is ON, the PK-88 never switches from Converse or Transparent Mode to
Command Mode (or vice versa) by itself. Only specific commands (CONVERSE, K, TRANS, or
<CTRL-C>) typed by you can change the operating mode. NOMODE ON supersedes NEWMODE.
When NOMODE is OFF, the PK-88 switches modes automatically according to the way
NEWMODE is set.
Certain electronic mail, packet bulletin board or other host computer programs may
require NOMODE to be set ON. Please consult the software provider for additional
information in this regard.
