Parameter Setup and TNC Configuration;
A particularly useful feature of Multicom is its ability to send pre-configured
"parameter files" to your TNC at any time. For instance, you may have certain
settings that are only used during contesting, or you may have disconnected the
battery and need to restore your "normal" settings to the controller. You may wish
to set the controller for a different PIXTONES group, or choose different beacon
text or mailbox settings etc. You might even have multiple controllers, each with
their own set of parameters!
Nearly any set of parameters can be changed at a moment's notice through the
use of the <Alt> +P, "parameters" key combination. Pressing this key
combination will send any .PRM file you wish to the controller almost instantly.
Be sure you are in command mode first!
Parameter files are sent, one line at a time, to the TNC when this key
combination is pressed. After sending each line, the program will wait for a cmd:
prompt to be returned from the controller before sending another line. If, after a
couple of seconds, the program does not detect a prompt, it will "timeout" and
return control back to you.
At any time while the parameter file is being sent, you may press the <Esc>
key to cancel the transmission of the parameter file.
