calll
Use the
Uplink command to
initiate
a DAMA connection. Refer to the Packet chapter
for an explanation of
DAMA.
After a connection is established,
your
station will be a slave and will not send any information
packets
until it is
polled
by the Master.
You
can
type
UPlink
(without
any
parameters)
at any time to check the PK-96's connect status. If
you're
in
the
process
of trying
to connect to another station,
you'll
see the message:
Link
state
is:
coNNEcT in
progress
If the other
station doesn't ack
your
connect request after the
number
of tries set
with RETRY
the connect
attempt is
cancelled.
Your monitor would
display:
cmd'rr*rr Retry
count exceeded

WHYnot
Ol\nOFF
Mode:
packet
ON The PK-96
generates
a
reason
why received
packets
weren't
displayed.
OFF This function is
disabled.
During
packet
operation, the PK-96 may receive many
packets
that aren't displayed.
Turning WHYNOT
on will cause the PK-96 to
generate
a message explaining the reason why the received
packet
wasn't
dis-
played.
The messages
and their meanings are:
The received
packet
frame had
errors, and
PASSALL was OFE
preventing the
packet fiom
being displayed to the screen.
The Threshold
controi
was set
too
far
counterclockwise.
The DCD
LED was off
when the
packet
was
received.
The MONITOR value was set too low to receive this
fiame.
MCON was set too iow to
receive
this type of
frame.
MPROTO was
set
to
OFF,
and the received
packet
was
probably a NET/ROM
or TCP/IP frame.
