Kantronics KPC–3 Plus User Manual page 174

When set to NEWUSER, the TNC will operate with a standard terminal or computer
running a terminal emulation program with a limited command set available. When set
to TERMINAL, the full command set of the TNC is available.
When set to BBS, the TNC deletes certain messages (i.e. *** connect request, ***
FRMR, etc) for greater compatibility with full-service BBS programs such as WØRLI,
WA7MBL, CBBS, etc.
When INTFACE is set to KISS mode of operation, users interact with the TNC using
software that implements the KISS code specified by Phil Karn (for more information,
see the KISS Operation section of this manual).
When INTFACE is set to XKISS mode of operation, users interact with the G8BPQ
extended KISS protocol (for more information, see the KISS Operation section of this
manual).
When INTFACE is set to HOST, the TNC will talk to the attached computer using the
Kantronics HOST mode and users communicate with the TNC using ―host mode‖
software (for more information, see the HOST Operation section of this manual).
When INTFACE is set to GPS, the KPC-3 Plus will enter GPS mode upon power up.
Data from the serial port will be parsed according to the GPSHEAD command, text will
be placed into the LT buffers, and beacons will be transmitted according to the setting of
the BLT commands.
When INTFACE is set to MODEM, the KPC-3 Plus mirrors at the RS232 port @ 1200
baud what it receives at the radio port (for more information, see the ―modem mode‖ in
the Modes of Operation chapter).
To have the KPC-3 Plus exit GPS Mode, connect a PC or terminal to it and issue three
<Ctrl+C> characters (see COMMAND for details).
For instructions on exiting KISS, XKISS, HOST and MODEM modes, see the
appropriate sections of the ―modes of operation‖ chapter of this manual.
NOTE: After changing the setting of this command to KISS, XKISS, HOST, GPS, or
MODEM a soft reset is required for the new mode to take effect (see RESET for
details).
