DAYTIME
is used in many modes
and should be set when the PK-96 is initially
powered
up.
The
clock isn't set when the PK-96 is first
turned on.
The DAYTIME
command displays
the ?clock
not
set error message
until
it's
set as fbllows:
YYMMDDHHMMSS
Example: cmd :
daytime 940202065923
where:
fll is the last two digits of
the
year
MM is the
two-digit
month
code
(01-
l 2)
DD is date
(01-31)
HH is the hour
(00-23)
MM
is the minutes after the hour
(00-59)
SS is seconds
(optional)
If
you
want
the PK-96 to keep current time, either keep its
power
supply on, have the software
program
you're
using set the clock upon start-up,
or install a dedicated clock chip
like
the SmartWatch
clock chip
by Dallas Semiconductor.
Use chip
DS
l2l6C for PK-96's with an 18K mailbox or DS1216D
for PK-96's
with
a
100K
mailbox.
Installation is
easy: Carefully remove U3, install the SmartWatch chip into U3's socket, then
insert
U3
into
the top
of the SmartWatch chip. Enter the time and date in DAYTIME and
you're
set.
The
only
time the
SmartWatch
is read is upon
power-up,
RESTART or RESET.

DCdconn
ONOFF
Mode:
packet
OFF RS-232
cable Pin 8 is
permanently
set high
(default).
ON RS-232
cable Pin 8
follows
the state of the CON
(or
DCD)
LED.
DCDCONN
defines how the DCD
(Data
Carrier
Detect) signal affects
pin
8 in the
RS-232 interface to
your
computer or terminal. Some
programs
such as PBBS software require that
DCDCONN be ON.
DCDCONN
also
works in the RAWHDLC and KISS modes. In RAWHDLC and
KISS, no
packet
con-
nections are known to the PK-96. With DCDCONN OM the state of the
radio DCD is sent to the
RS-232
DCD pin
(pin-8).
This may be necessary to some Host applications that
need to know when the
radio
channel is
busy.
Default:OFF
