virtually any combination of characters can be passed by the software in use, protocols dictate that it must be very
difficult to exit the KISS mode, once it has been activated. If you find the TNC in KISS mode and you wish to exit,
you may use the TCP/IP command found in most KISS software or you may try sending a special sequence from
your keyboard:
1. Press and hold the ALT key. Enter the numbers 192 from the numerical keypad NOT THE TOP OF THE
KEYBOARD. Then release the ALT key.
2. Again press and hold the ALT KEY and enter the numbers 255 from the numerical keypad. Release the ALT
key.
3. Finally, press and hold the ALT key. Enter the numbers 192 from the numerical keypad. Release the ALT
key.
Provided your terminal control program sent the characters properly, the TNC should exit the KISS mode and you
should see the cmd: prompt.

station is relaying.
