SOFTWARE COMMANDS
APX D-5
MULTCONN (on/off)
The MULTICONNECT command.
ON: When enabled, the ESTeem modem can connect to more than
one ESTeem (node) at a time. When a link is established it will
be remembered in a link status table stored internally in the
ESTeem. The maximum number of multiple connect nodes
that the modem can connected to is 255. This feature is used
for CONTENTION and POLLED systems eliminate the radio
transmissions occurring during the normal
CONNECT/DISCONNECT protocol sequence. Reference
MULTID and MULTDELI commands.
Factory default = OFF.
MULTDELI (1-255,1-255)
This command defines the delimiter that will be used when the
MULTID is enabled.
Factory default = 91, 93.
MULTID (on/off)
This command when enabled allows the ESTeem User to send data
to another ESTeem from the CONVERSE MODE by specifying the
routing address before the data.
Factory default = OFF.
EXAMPLE OF TRANSMITTED DATA:
[001]DATA Routes data to an ESTeem addressed 1.
[100,200,250,1]DATA Routes data to an ESTeem addressed 1
via ESTeems addressed 100, 200, and
250.
This replaces using the CONNECT command from the COMMAND
Mode. The brackets [ and ] are defined using the MULTDELI
command. Received data packets will have the address of the
ESTeem that sent the data at the beginning of the data packet.
EXAMPLE OF RECEIVED DATA:
[004]RECEIVED DATA Data received from an ESTeem
addressed 4.
[030,100,244,004] Data received from an ESTeem
addressed 4 via ESTeems addressed 30,
100, and 244.
NETWORK (0-255)
Network identification code. This is used to program a common code
for all modems in the customers network so that another facility on
your frequency using the same addresses will not interfere with your
equipment. Factory default = 37.
NODES
This command will tell the user the address of modems (nodes) that
attempted to connect to you when you were connected to another
node. The maximum buffer capacity is five addresses. Listed below
is the output format.
"NODES = [1st Address], [2nd Address] ....., [5th Address]
If a "*" precedes an address then one or more repeaters were
used. To determine the routing direction the following PATH
commands must be used:
1st Address = PATH1
2nd Address = PATH2
3th Address = PATH3
4th Address = PATH4
5th Address = PATH5
EXAMPLE: "NODES = 11, *10, 16, 30, *55
If the above was displayed after the NODE command was executed
from COMMAND MODE, the following would be known:
1st modem address = 11 - called direct.
2nd modem address = 10 - used one or more repeaters.
3rd modem address = 16 - called direct.
4th modem address = 30 - called direct.
5th modem address = 55 - used one or more repeaters.
To determine the repeater path for modems 2 and 5 do the following
from COMMAND MODE:
CMD: NODE PATH2 <cr>
The modem will reply with the following:
"NODES PATH2 = [Address of 1st Repeater], [Address of 2nd
Repeater], [Address of 3th Repeater], [Address
of Modem].
NOTE: This is in proper order for the CONNECT command.
Repeat the above procedure for PATH5.
NODES CLEAR
This command will reset the NODES buffer. The buffer will be
cleared when the modem is connects to another node.
NUCr (on/off)
This command enables the nulls command after carriage
return. Factory default = OFF.
NULf (on/off)
This command enables the nulls command after line feeds. Factory
default = OFF.
