PK-232 OPERATING MANUAL COMMAND SUMMARY
FRack “In” Default: 5 (5 sec.)
Mode: Packet Host: FR
Parameters:
“n” — 1 to 15, specifying FRame ACKnowledgment timeout in 1 second
intervals.
FRACK is the FRame Acknowledgment time in seconds that your PK-232 will wait for
acknowledgment of a sent protocol frame before "retrying" that frame.
After sending a packet requiring acknowledgment, the PK-232 waits for FRACK
seconds before incrementing the retry counter and sending another frame. If the
packet address includes any digipeaters, the time between retries is adjusted to:
Retry interval (in seconds) = "n" x (2 x m + 1)
(where m is the number of intermediate relay stations.)
When a packet is retried, a random wait time is added to any other wait times.
This avoids lockups where two packet stations repeatedly collide with each other.
FREe Immediate Command
Mode: All Host: FZ
Typing "FREE" displays the number of usable bytes left in the MailDrop, as in
"FREE 3724." This may be useful to a Host mode application using the MailDrop.
