USER'S GUIDE
Your station is connected to a distant station – you'll see the digipeater path in use,
if any. The call sign sequence is the same sequence you would type to initiate the
connection.
o
Link state is: DISCONNECTED
No link or connection exists right now. You may type the
tiate a connection.
o
Link state is: DISCONNECT in progress
You've typed a disconnect request, but the acknowledgment from the other station
has not been received. If you type a second
mediately goes to the disconnected state.
o
Link state: FRMR in progress
Your PK-232 is connected to a distant station, but a protocol error has occurred.
This should never happen when two AEA AX.25 systems are connected. An improp-
er implementation of the AX.25 protocol could cause this condition. Your PK-232 will
try to re-synchronize frame numbers with the PK-232 on the other end, although a
disconnect may result. Connections are invalid in this state; a disconnect command
starts the disconnect process.
o
*** CONNECTED to: call1 [VIA call2[,call3...,call9]]
This message appears when your PK-232 switches from the "disconnected" or "con-
nect in progress" state to the connected state. The connection may be a result of a
CONNECT
tant station.
o
*** Connect request: call1 [VIA call2[,call3...,call9]]
Your PK-232 has received, but not accepted, a connect request from a distant sta-
tion. This can happen if you have set
nected to another station.
When your PK-232 displays this message, it also sends a DM packet (busy signal) to
the station that initiated the connect request. If your PK-232 rejects a connect re-
quest because you've set
to the other station.
o
*** DISCONNECTED: <call sign>
Your PK-232 has switched to the disconnected state from any other link state. This
message may be preceded by a message explaining the reason for the disconnect,
as shown below.
o
*** Retry count exceeded
*** DISCONNECTED: <call sign>
Your PK-232 has been disconnected because of a retry failure, rather than a discon-
nect request from one of the stations.
