Chapter 4 - Operation
23
This display tells you that the I/O is connected to stream A on the VHF port. There is presently
no station connected to you on VHF. If at this time you enter a
Connect
request, it will be routed
via the VHF port and connect on stream A (assuming the station you call is available on VHF).
If you wish to initiate a connection on the HF port, you must precede the connect request with
the HF streamswitch character, a stream designator (any stream) and then the standard format
connect request. An example would look like this:
cmd:
$A WA5RGU<CR>
OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE CONNECTS
The KAM may be operated on both HF and VHF with up to 26 connection channels or streams
allowed simultaneously. Any combination of HF/VHF Packet connections are allowed. In this sec-
tion we will outline the basics of multi-connect operation. Multiple connection capability is a useful
mode for multi-user activities.
The following commands and their default settings are related to multiple connect operations:
STREAMCa OFF
STREAMDb OFF
STREAMEv
OFF
STReamsw
$40/$7C
MAXUsers
10/10
USers
1/1
These settings cause the KAM to operate with a single incoming connection capability on both
HF and VHF. If you wish to allow multiple incoming connects to your station, you do so by setting
USers
to values other than 1. Any value up to 10 may be set without resetting the
MAXUsers
pa-
rameter. If you wish to allow more than 10 simultaneous connections, you must first set
MAXUsers
to a new value at least as high as the maximum number you intend to set at
USers
command.
MAXUSers
may be set as high as 26 channels or streams on both HF and VHF.
STREAMDb
, if ON, can help in distinguishing between
STReamsw
characters received as text
and those generated by your KAM.
STREAMCa
, if ON, will assist in identifying the station from which packets are received. When
enabled this command causes the call ID of the station from which each packet is received to be
displayed.
STREAMEv, if ON, will display the stream identifier for each packet received.
Other related commands which assist in multiple connection operation are
Status
and
STATShrt
, described in the previous section.
A multiple connect exercise – The following example provides an outline of a sequence of
events observed when one station connects to two others on VHF. Three stations, WA5RGU, N0APJ
and W0XI are involved with WA5RGU running the multiple connect capability.
Deciding to venture into multiple connect activity, W5RGU resets the following parameters:
STREAMCa
- ON
STREAMEv
- ON
USers
- 1/2
Next WA5RGU initiates a connect request to N0APJ in the normal manner. At the
cmd:
prompt,
type C N0APJ. On the display the following appears:
|A:N0APJ***CONNECTED to N0APJ
The
|A:
indicates the stream that the Input/Output is on. The first call ID (
N0APJ
) indicates
that the input on stream A is from N0APJ.
