Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B Benutzerhandbuch

1. 

From the cmd: prompt please type the following: 

MODE PT <ENTER> 

the MFJ-1278B will respond with: 

followed by the p_cmd: prompt on the next line.  The $2c is the checksum of MFJ's Pactor 
release.  You will probably notice a slight delay in obtaining the p_cmd: prompt.  This is 
because the MFJ-1278B is figuring up the Pactor checksum, this is perfectly normal. 
 
2. 

Under the p_cmd: prompt, type: 

MYCALL n <ENTER>; where n is your standard amateur callsign. 

The MFJ-1278B will respond with: 

MYCALL n 

where  n is the callsign you entered in the MYCALL parameter.  The MFJ-1278B will give 
the p_cmd: prompt on the next line. 
 
3. 

If you want your messages time and date stamped, then set DAYTIME with the current 
information. 

 
The  DAYTIME command is in the standard Packet command set, not in the Pactor 
commands. 
 
NOTE: An optional TNC real-time clock, the MFJ-43 for the MFJ-1278B is available from 

MFJ Enterprises.  With this real-time clock module installed in your MFJ-1278B, the 
clock will continue to keep time even with the MFJ-1278B turned off.  You will not 
have to set your MFJ-1278B's "DAYTIME" every time your MFJ-1278B is powered 
up. 

 
4. 

From the p_cmd: prompt, type: 

As we mentioned earlier, there are two MAILBOX commands.  One of the MAILBOX 
commands is in the Packet command set, the other being in the Pactor command set.  Both of 
the MAILBOX commands must be ON.  If either of the MAILBOX commands is OFF, then 
the Pactor mailbox will not function. 
 
Your MFJ-1278B is ready for Pactor Mailbox operations.  As we mentioned earlier, the 
SYSop command must be issued from the Packet mailbox.  You can access the SYSOP in 
your Pactor mailbox by typing from the p_cmd: prompt:
