MFJ-1289 Multicom User's Manual Page 34
You can configure each of the function buffers to your liking, although most of
them already contain strings you'll probably want to keep.
Each of your computer's function keys, when in this mode, activates one of the
different function buffers (except <F10> , which allows you to edit the fuction
buffer slots.)
Within each of the function buffers are ten possible "slots" for commands or text
you can send to your TNC, simply by pressing <Alt> and the corresponding
number key when that mode has been selected.
When Multicom is first loaded, the MULTICOM.FUN buffer is activated (each
of the function buffer files is stored in your Multicom directory with the extension
.FUN).
The .FUN (function buffer) files in the default set are configured for the MFJ-
1278B and MFJ-1278B/Turbo Multi Mode Data Controllers. Although they may
be edited to conform to any configuration you wish, it is advisable for you to
become familiar with these functions before you make changes to the buffers or
files. Any valid TNC command can be entered.
Supported within this function buffer menu are all of the text modes of the
1278B/1278B-Turbo. To access the other modes, you will need to use the
following keys from within terminal mode, not from within the function buffer
menu:
o For FAX press <F4> .
o For SSTV press <F5> .
o For Packet Binary and Picture modes, press <F8> .
