PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
ALFPACK ON|OFF
Parameters:
ON -
A <LF> character IS added to outgoing packets following each <CR> transmitted
in the packet. Line feeds from the terminal are ignored.
OFF -
A <LF> is NOT added to outgoing packets.
ALFPACK is similar to ALFDISP, except that the <LF> characters are added to outgoing
packets, rather than only to text displayed locally.
ALFPACK is included to maintain compatibility with other packet radio controllers.
If the person you are talking to reports overprinting of packets from your
station set ALFPACK ON. Character insertion is disabled in Transparent Mode.
AWLEN In'
Parameters:
In, -
7 or 8 specifies the number of data bits per word.
The parameter value defines the digital word length used by the serial input/output
(10) terminal port and your computer or terminal program.
Set AWLEN to 7 for most packet operations, such as conversation, working
electronic mail and bulletin board systems and transmission of ASCII files.
If eight-bit words are sent to the PK-88 in the Command or Converse Modes, the eighth
bit is normally removed, leaving a standard ASCII character, regardless of the setting
of AWLEN.
All eight data bits of each character must be retained to send executable files or
other special data.
Set AWLEN to 8 and use the Transparent Mode.
You can also use Converse Mode and set AWLEN 8 and 8BITCONV ON. However, you must
precede the Converse Mode special characters with the PASS character in the data you
send.
