Other Modes of Operation
Other ways of using your TNC are covered in this section.
+ Some of the following modes of operation require special software, so they may
not be available if you are using standard terminal programs such as Pacterm and
Procomm Plus.
Remote Sensing and Control
You can use two (or more) packet radio stations, each containing a Kantronics
TNC, to implement remote sensing and/or remote control, as follows:
•
remote control of another TNC:
from a local Kantronics TNC-based
radio station, use the MYREMOTE command to establish control of a
remote Kantronics TNC-based radio station and issue commands for the
remote TNC to carry out. For details, see the Command Reference.
•
sense analog inputs:
use the ANALOG command to gather and report
the status of one or two analog input lines in the remote TNC.
Kantronics single port and multi-port TNCs contain an 8 bit A/D
converter and additional circuitry that converts the analog voltage
presented at two specified inputs into digital values from 0 to 255. You
can then use these digital values (reported in binary) as an approximation
of the analog voltage values at the time the TNC interrogated the analog
inputs. For details on the ANALOG command, see the Command
Reference.

Note:
As documented in the ANALOG command and the radio port pin
spefications, single port devices and multiport devices use different input
lines and ports for analog sensing.
•
control output voltages:
use the CTRL command to control the voltages
on selected output lines in the remote TNC (up to two output lines in
single port devices and four output lines in multi-port devices). Each of
these output lines can be set to 5 volts (i.e., ON) or 0 volts (i.e., OFF) by
the CTRL command. Also, the CTRL command can be used with any or
all of these output lines to send a specified number of short ON/5
volts-then-OFF/0 volts pulses (each pulse lasting about .1 second, with
