5PK-900 Gateway Option Supplement
The commands’ functions are:
B(ye) This is similar to the Bye command used in the AEA Maildrop and BBS
stations. When a user enters a B, the Gateway will “disconnect.”
C(onnect) n Similar in operation to the CONNECT command in the packet mode.
(Also used to connect in AMTOR and PACTOR instead of using the
ARQ and PTCONN commands, respectively.)
For a packet connection, the user may connect to your Gateway, then
specify a string of digipeaters:
C W1AW VIA W2XY, W1XXZ
Your Gateway will try to establish a connection with W1AW as the
destination; the user’s callsign will be shown as the source but with a
difference: the user’s SSID is decremented by one to avoid protocol
conflicts on the same frequency.
Here is an example of the frames sent in establishing a typical
connection (with the MONITOR command set to 5):
USER>GATE [C]
GATE>USER (UA)
GATE>USER [I]:
+++ N7ML Gateway. Type ? for help.
de GATE (B,C,D,J,L,N,S,?) >
USER>GATE (RR)
USER>GATE [I]:
c remote
GATE>USER (RR) USER-15>REMOTE [C]
REMOTE>USER-15 (UA)
GATE>USER [I]:
+++ CONNECTED to REMOTE at GATE
USER>GATE (RR)
USER>GATE [I]:
hello.
GATE>USER (RR) USER-15>REMOTE [I]:
hello.
REMOTE>USER-15 (RR)
REMOTE>USER-15 [I]:
Yes?
GATE>USER [I]: USER-15>REMOTE (RR)
Yes?
USER>GATE (RR)
Once the connection is established with the destination station, the
Gateway notifies the user that the connection has been made; it then
goes from the “Command” mode into the “Converse” mode. Now,
