Automatic Disconnect
If a user abandons a connection to a KA-Node or a link between two KA-Nodes
without disconnecting and there is no activity through the link for a specified pe-
riod of time (see KNTIMER), the node will initiate a disconnect.
Using the XCONNECT Command
Note:
The XCONNECT command is available only on Kantronics’ multi-port
TNCs, such as the KPC-9612 Plus. Single-port TNCs (e.g., KPC-3 Plus) do not
support this command, but they may connect to a KA-NODE that does.
The cross-connect (XCONNECT) command is a unique feature of the KA-Node.
This command allows cross linking between two frequencies through the node in
much the same manner as the Kantronics unique gateway, but with local ac-
knowledgment of packets.
For example, suppose you just connected to node LAWKAN and wish to
cross-connect to NØGZZ whose station is tuned to the frequency of the other
port of the node. Just issue X NØGZZ following the the node prompt:
ENTER COMMAND B,C,J,N,X, or Help
X NØGZZ <CR>
The response you receive will be:
### LINK MADE
### CONNECTED TO NØGZZ
You can also determine from the response to the NODE command, which port a
node is on. Below is an illustration of a KA-Node response to a NODE com-
mand:
LAWKAN* 12/02/87 15:45:00
N66046/X 12/02/87 15:49:15
OLAKAN/X 12/02/87 16:15:21
In this typical display, the callsign of the node is given, followed by the date and
time it was last heard. The “/X” indicates that the node was heard on the opposite
port from the one you are connected on. The asterisk (*) means that the node was
heard via a digipeater.
