151CommandsAll KPC-3 Plus commands are documented below, in alphabetical order. The underlinedcharacters in a command‘s name show the short-cut version of the command. Requiredor optional parameters are shown after the command name, as are allowable ranges ofvalues, where appropriate.8BITCONV {ON | OFF}default ONThis command was added to the first TNCs built (1980s) to accommodate terminalsthat would not receive (or would be confused by) 8-bit characters, only 7-bit ASCII.We‘ve retained the command today just in case you‘re using such a terminal orcomputer. Also, it might be that your computer is capable of handling 8-bitcharacters but your communications terminal program will reject (or be confused or―hung‖) by them. In these cases, you‘ll need to set 8BITCONV OFF.When ON, transmission of 8-bit data is allowed in the packet Convers Mode andTransparent Mode. If you wish to obtain 8-bit data transmission but do not want all thefeatures of Transparent Mode, set this command to ON. If OFF, the 8th data bit isstripped (set to 0) for transmission and all data received will have the 8th bit set to 0.This does not affect the KA-Node, digipeat or PBBS functions.ABAUD n (n = 0,1200,2400,4800,9600,19200)default 0The parameter n sets the baud used for input and output through the serial RS232 portof the KPC-3 Plus to the computer. If 0 is used, the KPC-3 Plus will run an autobaudroutine upon power-up. This routine looks for an asterisk (*) character from the attachedcomputer to set the ABAUD parameter.If you wish to use a different baud, or to perform autobaud the next time the unit ispowered up, you must change the ABAUD parameter. If you change the baud in yourcomputer or terminal you should change the baud in the KPC-3 Plus first, then issue theRESET command, then set the new baud on your computer. Otherwise a hard reset willbe required to erase the ABAUD setting and reinitialize the KPC-3 Plus to perform theautobaud routine. (See Hard Reset section.) Note also that a hard reset will erase ALLstored parameters in your KPC-3 Plus and return them to factory defaults.See also: reset, restoreANALOGimmediate |
