PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
RETRY 'n'
Parameters:
'n' -
0 to 15 specifies the maximum number of packet retries.
The AX.25 protocol uses retries - retransmission of frames that have not been
acknowledged. Frames are retransmitted 'n' times before the link is disconnected. A
value of 0 for 'n' specifies an infinite number of retries.
The FRACK command sets the time between retries. See the FRACK command.
If the number of designated retries is exceeded, the PK-88 enters either the 'connect
in progress' or 'disconnected' state depending on the setting of RELINK.
If you are not in Transparent Mode, the following message is shown:
*** Retry count exceeded
SENDFAC 'n'
Parameters:
'n' - 0 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal) specifies an ASCII character code.
The SENDPAC command selects the character used to cause a packet to be sent while in
Converse Mode. The parameter 'n' is the numeric ASCII code for the character that
packetizes the characters you type and queues them for transmission. You can enter the
code in either hexadecimal or decimal numbers.
The default SENDPAC value $OD is fine for ordinary conversation with CR ON. This sends
packets at natural intervals with <CRs> included in the packet.
When setting CPACTIME ON, set SENDPAC to some value not ordinarily used (for example
<CTRL-A>), with CR OFF). This causes packets to be sent without extra <CR> characters
included in the text.
The SENDPAC character is not necessarily treated as a <CR> unless it really is a
carriage return.
