the KPC-3 Plus with the MYREMOTE callsign) to send a string to a unit attached to the
KPC-3 Plus serial port. The string content could be used to change the configuration of
a GPS unit.
RTEXT text
default (blank)
This command sets the password string for use when accessing the MYREMOTE or
when performing SYSOP functions in the PBBS remotely. When you connect to the
MYREMOTE or attempt to enter the SYSOP mode of the PBBS, the TNC will send
three sets of numbers, one of which must be properly decoded (matching position
number with string character) using this string.
For instance, if the RTEXT is set to ―This is my RTEXT string‖ and you connect to the
MYREMOTE, the TNC would send three sets of random numbers. The numbers would
look like:
5 20 14 7 18 3
7 1 4 14 8 19
9 3 8 12 22 1
You must then pick ONE of these lines and decode the password string (i.e., assign
letters to each letter position). Let's say you choose to decode line 3 (9 3 8 12 22 1).
Rewriting the RTEXT string to make this easier we have:
12345678901234567890123
This is my RTEXT string
Now, decoding the string, character 9 is ―m‖ character 3 is ―i‖, character 8 is ― ‖ (i.e.,
blank), character 12 is ―R‖, character 22 is ―n‖, and character 1 is ―T‖. You must send
the following in response to the string of numbers:
mi RnT
If correct, you'll receive the MYREMOTE prompt (―prompt:‖).
Note that case is significant and spaces are considered valid characters.
If you fail to properly decode the password, the remote KPC-3 Plus will send three new
lines of numbers. You will be given a maximum of three attempts to properly decode the
password string. If you fail in three attempts, the TNC will disconnect. After failing in
three attempts, the MYREMOTE is disabled for 15 minutes.
