This command causes the TNC to allocate the memory required for the maximum number of si-
multaneous connections you wish to allow. Each connection uses a different stream. In order to di-
rect what you want to say to a different stream you use the STREAMSW character. All streams may
be used for outgoing packets, but USERS set the number that may be used for incoming connec-
tions, Changing the value of MAXUSERS will cause the TNC to perform a "soft reset". In order to
change the current value of MAXUSERS, you must spell out the entire command word. Note, that
you may not change the value of MAXUSERS while you are connected, since this would reset TNC
and cause all existing connections to be lost.
KAM

KPC-4
The
KAM
and
KPC-4
will allow a setting of 0. If MAXUSERS is set to 0/0, these TNCs will accept on-
ly one connect at a time from either port of the TNC. This special condition will be highlighted by
being displayed as MAXUSERS 0. This makes it feasible to use the
KAM
/
KPC-4
with MBL or RLI BBS
programs on two frequencies. Setting MAXUSERS to 0/n or n/0 will disable the port designated for
0 and also will permit the TNC to enter the KISS mode on the non-zero port.
