KISS ON is not the only command that must be set for TCP/IP operation. See Chapter 6 for further
details.
The following commands must be entered only if the terminal word length and parity are NOT 8
bits and NO parity:

HOST ON (NOTE: The HOST ON command must be entered last!)
After entering Host Mode, you cannot use the normal human language or verbose commands, nor
will you see normal responses from the PK-88. The host computer and its application program
must assume control of the PK-88. AX.25, TCP/IP or other protocols must be executed in the host
computer.
To quit the KISS mode, you must return to Command mode from Host Mode in order to use the
KISS OFF command.
