Required TNC Parameter Settings
The following TNC parameter settings are needed:
COMMAND = $03 (CTRL+C) (default = $03, so unless this has been changed,
you do not need to do anything).
CANLINE default = CTRL+X (HEX $18)
CANPAC default = CTRL+Y (HEX $19)
PASS default = CTRL+V (HEX $16)
Optional Parameter Settings
The following TNC parameters are generally used with their default settings when
running HyperTerminal, but you may wish to change them. If they have been set to non-
default values, you may wish to change them back.
ECHO = ON (default)
FLOW = ON (default)
Technical note: Usually, ECHO and FLOW go together, both ON or both OFF.
When using software that supports split screen displays, for example, set both
ECHO and FLOW to OFF.
XFLOW = ON (default)
Technical note: XFLOW controls whether or not software flow control is ON. If
XFLOW is set to OFF, the following parameters should also be set to 0 (zero):
XON, XOFF, START, and STOP.
FILTER = OFF (default)
8BITCONV = ON (default)
Hint: Also, the MONITOR parameter may be ON or OFF (default = ON). You may
have Monitor ON while using HyperTerminal. But to prevent a build-up of data in an
internal buffer in the TNC, you should turn Monitor OFF when exiting HyperTerminal
and leave the TNC ON. This is because when the TNC's receive buffer is full, your
station will give a BUSY signal to other stations that try to connect.
Trouble-Shooting Difficulties in Communicating
If you are having difficulty establishing and maintaining communication between
HyperTerminal and your TNC, here are some points to consider.
