Trans Immediate Command
Mode: All Host: Not Supported
________________________________________________________________________________
TRANS is an immediate command that switches the PK-900 switch from the Command
Mode to Transparent Mode. The current state of the radio link is not affected.
Transparent Mode is primarily useful for computer communications. In
Transparent Mode "human interface" features such as input editing, echoing of
input characters, and type-in flow control are disabled.
o Use Transparent Mode for transferring binary or other non-text files.
o To exit the Transparent mode, type the COMMAND character (default <CTRL-C>)
three times within the time period set by CMDTIME (default 1 Second).

TRFlow ON|OFF Default: OFF
Mode: Transparent Host: TW
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
ON - Software flow control for the computer or terminal RECEIVING data is
activated in Transparent Mode.
OFF - Software flow control for the computer or terminal RECEIVING data is
disabled in Transparent Mode.
________________________________________________________________________________
When TRFLOW is ON, the type of flow control used by the computer RECEIVING data
in Transparent Mode is determined by how START and STOP are set.
When TRFLOW is OFF, only "hardware" flow control (RTS, DTR) is available to the
computer RECEIVING data from the PK-900 in Transparent Mode.
If TRFLOW is ON, and START and STOP are set to values other than zero, software
flow control is enabled for the user's computer or terminal. The PK-900
responds to the user START and user STOP characters while remaining transparent
to all other characters from the terminal.

TRIes "n" Default: 0
Mode: Packet Host: TI
_________________________________ Parameters: __________________________________
"n" - 0 to 15 specifies the current RETRY level on the selected input
channel.
________________________________________________________________________________
TRIES retrieves (or forces) the count of "retry counter" on the data channel
presently selected.
If you type TRIES without an argument, the PK-900 returns the current number
of tries if an outstanding unacknowledged frame exists. If no outstanding
unacknowledged frame exists, the PK-900 returns the number of tries required
to get an ACK for the previous frame.
If you type TRIES with an argument the "tries" counter is forced to the entered
value. Using this command to force a new count of tries is not recommended.
