PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
4.11.1

Default Multiple-Connect Conditions

At start-up time and until you change it, the PK-88 defaults to the following multiple-con-
nect conditions:
CHCALL OFF
These defaults set the PK-88 to operate exactly as would a TNC without the multiple-con-
nect feature.
4.11.2 The USERS Command – Multiple-Connect Active
The USERS command affects only the manner in which incoming connect requests are
handled, and has no effect on the number of connections you initiate with the PK-88.
A numerical value
the PK-88 will receive. For example:
USERS 0
USERS 1
USERS 2
USERS 3
and so on, through USERS 10.
4.11.3

CHSWITCH Character Selection

CHSWITCH selects the character used to change channels in multiple connect operation.
n
The value
o CHSWITCH characters must not be channel numbers (0 to 9).
The PK-88's default for CHSWITCH is $00, which disables the function.
Set the CHSWITCH character to a hexadecimal value from $00 to $FF, for any character
that you will not normally use. You can switch 'logical channels' in a multiple-connect sit-
uation by typing the CHSWITCH character even when in the Converse Mode.
The CHSWITCH character can be PASSed in CONVERS mode, and is always ignored
TRANSPARENT mode; it just flows through as data. The outgoing channel in fact cannot
be changed while in TRANSPARENT mode.
