NECT MYNODE x (x = channel) from the local terminal connected to your
TNC.
If no data passes through an established (connected) KA-Node circuit for n min-
utes, where n is set by “KNTIMER”, then that circuit will be disconnected. The
default time is 15 minutes but you can disable this by setting n to 0.
Each KA-Node circuit allowed will require approximately 4.3K of memory. If
you attempt to set NUMNODES to a value requiring more memory than avail-
able, you will receive a message indicating that the value is out of range. The to-
tal number of circuits which may be allocated will also be affected by the amount
of memory allocated to the Personal Mailbox.
+ Some Kantronics TNCs, such as the 9612 Plus, are multi-port. These multi-port
KA-Nodes can support cross-connects, Xconnects; that is, users may connect on
one port and then connect out another port, which may be attached to another
radio set to a different frequency.
Using a KA-Node
+ The material that follows is meant for those using your KA-Node, i.e. connecting
to it. You may use this material as a guide to using someone else’s node or in
connecting to your own node from another location (car, another station, via a
digi, etc.).
To use the KA-Node as a means of connecting to some other node or end-user,
you must first connect to the KA-Node. At the cmd: prompt on your TNC, issue
a connect request to the callsign of the KA-Node, let’s say it’s been named LAW.
When you make connection you will see the following messages on your display:
*** CONNECTED TO LAW
### CONNECTED TO WILD NODE LAW (NØGZZ) CHANNEL A
ENTER COMMAND B,C,J,N,X, or Help ?
The *** CONNECTED message is sent by your local TNC to your terminal, and
the ### CONNECTED TO NODE message comes from the distant KA-Node.
NØGZZ is the MYCALL of the station containing the KA-Node in this example,
WILD indicates that he is running a “wildcard” node, and CHANNEL A indi-
cates that you have connected to its channel A. If A is in use, you may obtain
channel B. The channels, or circuits, are assigned by the KA-Node as needed.
