CHSwitch rz
Mode: packet
CHSWITCH
(CHannel
SWITCHing) selects the character used by both
you
and the PK-96 to show that a
new
connection channel is being addressed. DO NOT
USE
$30
to
$39
(0
to 9).
If
you
plan
to engage in multiple
packet
connections,
you
must select
a CHSWITCH
character.
This char-
acter will be interpreted
by the
PK-96
to
indicate
that
you want
to select
another
packet
channe..
The vertical bar
"1" ($7C)
is a
seldom
used
punctuation
mark
and
makes a
good
switching
character.
To
make
the CHSWITCH character the vefiical
bar,
simply enter the command and the
vertical
bar's
ASCII
code: CHSWITCH
$7C.
To change
packet
channels, simply type the
vertical
bar
"1"
fbllowed by a
number
between 0
through 9, in-
dicating
which
channel
you
want to use. So, to
go
from
Channel
0 to Channel l,
you'd
enter:
cmd:ll
See CHDOUBLE and
CHCALL

TRANSPARENT

"n"
is 0
(zero),

the Transparent
mode
requircs sending the
BREAK
signal or
interuption of
power
to
the PK-96.
CMDTf ME
sets the time-out
value
in the Transparent mode. A
guard
time of
"n"
x l0 seconds allows es-
cape to the Command mode from the Transparent mode while
permitting
any
character to be sent as data.
The same
Command mode entry character COMMAND
(default
CTRL-C) is used to exit the
Transparent
mode,
although the
procedure
is different than from
Converse
mode. Three
Command
mode entry charac-
ters must
be entered less than
"n"
x l0
seconds apart-with no intervening characters-afier a delay of
"lt"
x
l0 seconds fbllowing
the
last
characters typed.
The fbllowing
