.FUN extension will be shown when you press this key
combination. For details on how to create these files, see the
"Function Buffers" chapter on page 33. The .FON file selected
here is put into the <F8> (user function) slot.
<Alt> +M Edit the "monitor alarm" string (a string is any combination of
numbers and/or letters and punctuation). This "auto-monitor"
alarm enables you to set a string of characters to have the TNC
"listen" for while it receives data. This is useful if you are
listening for a certain callsign prefix or a friend's station; when
the string you specify is "heard" by your controller, an alarm will
sound. If this option is active, you will see the Ä symbol on the
status line of your terminal screen. See the "Auto-Monitor
Alarm" chapter on page XX for more details.
<Alt> +P Remember when we initially configured your TNC for use with
Multicom? This key combination allowed us to send the
CONFIG.PRM or SETUP.PRM file to the TNC. You can
edit the parameter files in the text editor and send them at any
time using this key combination.
<Alt> +S This toggles the sound on or off. If the sound is on, an alarm will
be heard when you connect to another station. Because it is a
toggled keystroke combination, pressing it once will turn the
sound on, and pressing it again will turn it off. From the main
terminal screen, you can tell if the sound is toggled on or off by
checking for the "musical notes" symbol on your terminal mode
screen's "status line."
<Alt> +T Allows you to change the value of the "transfer timeout timer."
This is only useful if you regularly transmit files over the air; see
the "Binary/Picture Transfer" chapter on page XX.
