The command MAXUSERS determines how many streams may be used at one
time, per port, and the command USERS determines how many people can con-
nect to the TNC per port. An incoming connect uses the next available stream. If
the number of streams set by USERS is full, then a station attempting a connect
with your TNC will receive a busy message instead of a connect. However, if
MAXUSERS is set larger than USERS, you can still issue outgoing connects on
additional streams.
To determine which port you are on, simply use the STATUS command, typing
STAT at the command prompt. The TNC will report which streams are active and
which one you are on. If you wish to remain on the current stream to communi-
cate, no action is necessary. To change streams ( to make another connect or to
send data to another station already connected to you) type the STREAMSW
character, the number of the port (if you are changing ports on a multi-port
TNC), and the letter designation of the stream you wish to be on. No return or en-
ter key is necessary.
Note: Kantronics’most recent multi-port TNCs (e.g., KPC-9612 Plus) use only one
stream switch character and a number to specify which port and which stream to
switch to. See example below.
For example, let’s assume you are using a KPC-9612 Plus and you are connected
to WØXI on stream A of port 2 but you wish to return to a discussion with
NØGRG on stream B of port 1. Whether in command mode or convers mode,
simply enter “|1b” and the TNC will switch to port 1, stream B. When you do
this, the CON and STA lights on the front panel will switch with you, reporting
the status of the new stream.
If you are connected and have MONITOR or MCON OFF, the normal headers
containing the “to” and “from” callsigns will not be shown. The setting of
STREAMEV will then determine how often you see the stream designator. This
parameter comes defaulted OFF, so the stream designators are only shown when
a change in streams occurs. Turning this command ON will make the stream de-
signators show on every connected packet received. Turning STREAMCA ON
will also add the callsign of the “from” station beside the stream designator.
