TROUBLESHOOTING • LAN TRAFFIC AND COMMANDS

T

ROUBLESHOOTING

Primary, Satellite, LAN Traffic and LAN Commands

Spy mode will allow examination of the protocol between a host

KDA and its associated expansion card when being polled from the

T/MonXM master. By plugging in a lap top or other DOS computer

at the craft port you can view the protocol in either ASCII or

Hexadecimal. This allows on-the-spot analysis of the communica-

tions between the KDA and the polling master to quickly isolate

communication problems.

The query and response is indicated by the color of the data

bytes: the host data in green and the expansion card response in red.

Spy

LAN Traffic

and

LAN Commands

applies to expansion

card.

Spy Primary

applies to

primary docking pad

. Spy Satellite

to base satellite communications.

Notes: Spy
modes work
only in direct
mode, requiring
the computer to
be connected
directly to the
craft port.

‘LAN’ here
refers to com-
munications
between a host
and satellite
card.

LAN protocol is
DCPF. Please
refer to your
KDA user man-
ual for infor-
mation on
DCPF protocol.

See page 3.3 for screen definitions.
