1. Call Sign Setting
CAREFULLY Enter your callsign without dashes or slash marks--for instance,
DO NOT use G3/W5VZF or W5VZF-1).
2. Communication Parameter Setting
Multicom 3.1 has the ability to receive from two text data channels simul-
taneously. Each channel has its own settings for communication. The last
setting, State, tells Multicom if any data will be passed on that channel. Each
active channel must be connected to a seperate COM port and seperate TNC.
To set a channel first press 2. A menu will appear asking which channel you
want to change, A or B. After choosing the channel the configuration menu will
appear. If the settings are not as below, set them accordingly. Be sure that you
set the COM port to the one to which the TNC is connected.
Ch A Ch B
COM Port: 2 COM Port: 3
Baud Rate: 9600 Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8 Data Bits: 8
Parity : None Parity : None
State: Active State: Inactive
IMPORTANT: The "Terminal to TNC baud rate" must be set at 9600 for
multi-gray level FAX and SSTV operation!
Once you have the parameters set correctly, press S to save the parameters to
disk. The next time you load MFJ MULTICOM, the program will default to the
parameters you have selected. For temporary changes, use <Esc> to go back
to the main screen without saving to disk.
