PK232 COMMAND SUMMARY
(Version 1.0 4-30-91)
========================= MULTIMODE COMMANDS ==========================
AAB text Default: empty
Modes: Baudot, Ascii, Amtor
text = any ascii text up to 17 characters.
AAB sends "text" automatically in response to a "WRU" command
from the distant station.
ACRDISP 'n' DEFAULT: 80
MODES: ALL
'n' = 0 to 255
'n' specifies the screen or printer width (in columns).
'0' disables this function.
After 'n' characters have been printed, the PK232 sends
a <CR><LF> sequence to the computer or terminal.
For MORSE Mode: Received data will be broken up into
word boundries if possible. PK232 generates a <CR> when
the first space is received after column X. If ALFDISP is
also on, PK232 also generates a <LF>.
Column X is 12 less than the ACRDISP value. If ACRDISP
is set to 0, then column X = 60.
ACRRTTY 'n' DEFAULT: 71 (69 in AMTOR)
MODES: Baudot, Ascii Rtty
'n' = 0 to 255
'n' specifies the number of characters on a line, after
which, a <CR> is automatically inserted in the
transmitted text.
'0' disables this function
AFILTER (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
ON - The ASCII characters specified by MFILTER are filtered
out and never sent to the terminal or computer.
OFF - Characters specified by MFILTER are only filtered
from monitored packets.
If ECHO is ON, and the terminal or computer sends a filtered
character, the PK232 WILL echo it back to the computer or
terminal.
CAUTION: AFILTER must be OFF for binary file transfers.
ALFDISP (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: All
ON - A line feed <LF> character is sent to the terminal
after each carrage return <CR> character. Each
line feed received is ignored.
OFF - A <LF> is not sent to the terminal after each <CR>
Affects the local display only, and does not affect the
data transmitted in any mode. Affects received packets as
well as text typed in.
ALFRTTY (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: Baudot, Ascii Rtty
ON - A <LF> character is sent after each <CR> character.
OFF - A <LF> is not sent after each <CR>
AWLEN 'n' DEFAULT: 7
MODES: All
'n' = 7 or 8
'n' = number of data bits per word
The 'RESTART' command must be issued before a change in
word length will take effect.
BKONDEL (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: All
Determines how character deletion is displayed in command
or Converse modes.
ON - The sequence <BACKSPACE><SPACE><BACKSPACE> is echoed
when a character is deleted from the input line.
OFF - The <BACKSLASH> <\> character is echoed when a
character is deleted from the input line.
Set to 'ON' for video terminals or computers.
Set to 'OFF' for printers.
CALIBRATE
Starts the modem calibration routine.
PK232 shows on screen display of AFSK generator tone
frequencies (in Hz). The frequency and calibration pot
number associated with that tone are displayed.
Commands:
K - Toggles transmitter PTT line on and off.
Q - Quits the calibration routine.
H - Toggles the transmitted audio tones between
wide shift (1000 hz), and narrow shift (200 hz).
SPACE> - Toggles the transmitted audio tone between
MARK (low tone), and SPACE (high tone).
D - Alternates the transmitted mark and space tones
at a rate set by the radio (HB) baud rate.
'D OFF' transmits a continuous mark or space tone.

When character 'n' is seen by the PK232, it switches to CW
mode, and sends your call sign at the speed set by MSPEED.
After call sign has been sent, PK232 returns to Baudot
or ASCII Rtty receive, in command mode.
CWID ON Activates this function.
CWID OFF deactivates the function.
DAYTIME date&time DEFAULT: Not set
MODES: All
Sets the PK232 internal clock to the current date and
time.
Format for entering date and time:
DAYTIME YYMMDDhhmm
(year, month, day, hour, minute)

been typed into the text.
To see a corrected display of the edited line, use the
redisplay-line character which is set by the REDISPLAY
command.
DIDDLE ON/OFF (DEFAULT OFF)
MODES: Baudot, ASCII
ON - In Baudot, PK232 sends LTRS character while idling.
In ASCII, PK232 sends NULL ($00) while idling.
OFF - No characters are sent while idling in transmit.
DISPLAY [class]
MODES: Command Mode
'class' can be one of the following:
(A)sync Display asynchronous port parameters.
(C)character Display special characters.
(F)ax Display Facsimile parameters.
(I)d Display ID parameters.
(L)ink Display Link parameters.
(M)onitor Display monitor parameters.
(R)tty Display Baudot/ASCII/RTTY, AMTOR and MORSE
parameters.
(T)iming Display timing parameters.
(Z) Display the entire command parameter list.
EAS (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot, ASCII Rtty, AMTOR and MORSE
ECHO AS SENT functions in all modes except PACKET.
ON - Display characters as actually sent on the air by PK232.
OFF - Display characters as sent to the PK232 by the computer.
If EAS is ON, only upper case characters will be displayed,
representing the actual data sent to the
distant station.
For AMTOR Mode A (ARQ) - If EAS is ON, characters are displayed
on the screen ONLY after they are Ack'd by the distant station,
no matter how fast you type, (3 at a time).
Nulls ($00) are not echoed.
ECHO (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: All
Controls local echoing by the PK232 when it is in command or
converse mode. Local echoing is disabled in TRANSPARENT mode.
ON - Characters received from the computer ARE echoed by the
PK232.
OFF - Characters are not echoed.
ESCAPE (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
Selects the character to be output when an <ESCAPE> character
is to be sent to the terminal.
ON - The <ESCAPE> character, ($1B) is output as "$" ($24)
OFF - The <ESCAPE> character is output as <ESCAPE> ($1B)
FLOW (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: All
ON - Flow control is active. Any character typed on the
keyboard causes output from the PK232 to the terminal
to stop until any of the following conditions exist:
1. A packet is forced in CONVERSE mode.
2. A line is completed in COMMAND mode.
3. The packet length (PACLEN) is exceeded.
4. The terminal output buffer fills up.
OFF - Type in flow control is NOT active.
FULLDUP (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
ON - Full Duplex mode is ENABLED.
OFF - Full Duplex mode is DISABLED.
When full duplex is DISABLED, the PK232 uses the DCD
(data carrier detect) signal from it's modem to avoid
collisions. PK232 acknowledges multiple packets in a single
transmission with a single acknowledgment.
When full duplex is ENABLED, PK232 ignores the DCD signal,
and acknowledges packets individually.
HELP
MODES: ALL
Displays the more important PK232 commands.
HEREIS 'n' DEFAULT: $02 (CTRL-B)
MODES: BAUDOT, ASCII, AMTOR
n = hexidecimal representation ($01-$7F) that causes the
AAB string to be sent in the middle of transmitted
text.
HOST (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
Puts PK232 in 'host mode'.
ON - PK232 goes into HOST mode.
OFF - PK232 operates as a normal TNC.
To exit host mode, send: 3 <CTRL-C> characters or type
<CTRL-A> O H O N <CTRL-W>
Sending a BRK signal will not exit PK232 from host mode.
Turning the PK232 on or doing a RESTART command while in
HOST mode causes the TNC to issue a RESTART response
($01 $4F R T $00 $17)
LOCK
MODES: MORSE/Baudot/AMTOR/FAX
Instructs the PK232 to measure the speed of the received
MORSE code signals, and lock it's timing to the speed of
the incoming signals. LOCK also forces LETTERS shift in
Baudot and AMTOR modes.
MFILTER n1 [,n2 [,n3 [,n4 ]]]] DEFAULT: $80
MODES: MORSE/Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR/PACKET
n = $00 to $80 (0 to 128 decimal)
n specifies an ASCII character code.
Up to 4 characters may be specified.
n = $80 (Special Value) - All characters in the range $80
to $FF, as well as control characters , except for
<CR> ($0D), Linefeed <LF> ($0A), and TAB ($09), are
filtered out and not sent to the terminal or computer.
MARSDISP (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot and AMTOR RTTY.
Permits the operator to detect and display every character,
including LTRS and FIGS codes sent by the other station.
ACRDISP and ALFDISP can be turned off to prevent carrage
returns and line-feeds from being sent to the RS-232 port.
ON - PK232 translates LTRS character to a <CNTRL-O> and
FIGS character to a <CTRL-N> and sends these to the terminal.
OFF - PK232 does not display LTRS and FIGS codes.
MWEIGHT 'n' (DEFAULT: 10)
MODES: ALL except PACKET
n = 5 to 15 Specifies the ratio of dot length to inter-
element space length.
n = 10 results in a 1:1 dot space ratio.
n = 5 results in a .5:1 dot space ratio.
n = 15 results in a 1.5:1 dot space ratio.
MWEIGHT applies to MORSE mode, and to the CW id's of all
other modes EXCEPT PACKET.
NEWMODE (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODES: ALL
Determines how the Pk232 behaves when the link is broken.
ON - PK232 returns to command mode upon disconnect.
OFF - PK232 does not return to command mode upon disconnect.
NOMODE (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
ON - NEWMODE function is ignored, OK232 switch mode commands
work only upon explicit command.
OFF - PK232 changes mode according to NEWMODE.
NUCR (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: All
Causes the PK232 to send <NULL> characters ASCII ($00), to
the computer or terminal. This function permits the PK232
to be used with a Teletype machine or other mechanical type
of terminal that requires a time delay after a <CR> is sent
from the PK232. The time delay gives the mechanical carrage
time to return to the home position.
ON - <NULL> characters are sent to the terminal following
a <CR> character.
OFF - <NULL> characters are not sent to the terminal following
a <CR> character
The NULLS command sets the number of individual nulls to
be sent for the NUCR command.
NULF DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: ALL
ON - <NULL> characters are sent to the terminal following
a <LF> character.
OFF - <NULL> characters are NOT sent to the terminal
following a <LF> character.
This command sends the <NULL> character ($00) to the terminal
or computer after every <LF> character.
This function permits the PK232
to be used with a Teletype machine or other mechanical type
of terminal that requires a time delay after a <LF> is sent
from the PK232. The time delay gives the mechanical carrage
time to perform a line feed.
The NULLS command sets the number of null character that
will be sent after each <LF> character.
NULLS 'n' DEFAULT: 0 (zero)
MODES: All
Specifies the number of <NULL> characters ($00) that will
be sent to the terminal after a <CR> or <LF> is sent.
'n' = 0 to 30 number of nulls to be sent.
Nulls are sent from the PK232 to the terminal only
during converse and command modes.
NUMS
MODES: Baudot, AMTOR
Forces PK232 into Figures case in Baudot and AMTOR receive.
OPMODE
MODES: ALL
Shows the current PK232 mode of operation and system status.
PARITY 'n' DEFAULT: 3 (even)
MODES: ALL
'n' = 0 to 3 selects a parity option.
0 = no parity
1 = odd parity
2 = no parity
3 = even parity
The parity bit is stripped automatically on input and is not
checked in command and converse modes.
In TRANSPARENT mode, all 8 bits, including parity, are
transmitted in packets. When no parity is selected, and
AWLEN is 7, the 8th bit is sent as a "0".
PROUT (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
ON - All text characters, including terminal echoes, are sent
to the parallel printer if PRCON is also ON.
Keyboard input is still accepted.
OFF - All text and data is sent to the terminal through
the serial port.
This command is useful when using a dumb terminal
with the PK232 for getting a hard printed copy of what
is being received by the PK232.
RCVE
MODES: Baudot and ASCII Rtty
Switches PK232 from transmit to receive, when used in the
command mode.
(CTRL-C enters the command mode)
RECEIVE 'n' DEFAULT: $04 <CTRL-D>
MODES: Baudot/ASCII/MORSE/AMTOR
'n' = 0 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
'n' specifies an ASCII character code
The RECEIVE command let's you specify a character that can
be inserted in your typed text or disk file. When this
character is read by the PK232, PK232 switches from
transmit to receive, and returns to command mode.
REDISPLA 'n' DEFAULT: $12 <CTRL-R>
MODES: All
'n' = $00 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
'n' is the ASCII code for the character you'll use to
re-display the current input line.
REDISPLA causes the line you just typed to be re-displayed.
RESET
MODES: ALL
Resets all parameters in the PK232 to default prom settings.
All personalized parameters are LOST.
RESTART will reinitialize the PK232 from battery backed up
ram, keeping all the user personalized parameters.
RESTART
MODES: ALL
Reinitializes the PK232 using the defaults stored in the
battery backed up ram. RESTART has the same effect as
turning the PK232 off then back on.
RXREV (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
MODES: Baudot/ASCII/AMTOR
ON - Received data polarity is reversed (mark-space reversal).
OFF - Received data polarity is normal.
Type "RXREV TOG" to toggle the polarity of the received
signal when trying to decode an unknown Baudot signal.
SIGNAL
MODES: ASCII/AMTOR/BAUDOT
Causes Pk232 to enter the SIAM Signal Analysis mode.
After about 10 seconds, the screen will display the predicted
signal type and confidance factor.
The signal type can be ASCII, AMTOR, ALIST, Baudot,
synchronous, noise, 6-bit.
The confidance factor ranges from 0.1 to 0.99.
START 'n' DEFAULT: $11 <CTRL-Q>
MODES: ALL
'n' = $00 to $7F (0 to 127 decimal)
'n' specifies an ASCII code for the User Start character
that you want to use to restart the output from the
PK232 to the terminal, after it has been halted by
the User Stop character.
STOP sets the User Stop character.
If User START or User STOP characters are $00, then
software flow control to the PK232 is disabled.
PK232 will then respond only to hardware flow control,
(CTS). If the same character is used for both START and
STOP character, then the PK232 toggles between start
and stop when the character is read.
