Port 1. This DB-9 female connector accepts the cable from one
of your radios, for 1200 baud packet operation.
Port 2. This DB-15 female connector accepts the cable from one
of your radios, for 4800/9600/19200/38400 baud packet
operation.
NOTE : Your radio connected to port 2 MUST be capable of operating at the baud
rate being used by the 9612 Plus. Refer to your radio manual to determine its speed
cabability and the exact connections required.
Computer This DB-25 female connector accepts the cable from
your computer serial port. The 9612 Plus communicates
with RS-232 levels using standard ASCII characters for
all commands.
Note: All Kantronics TNCs can operate without the computer being connected,
once they have been configured. For example, you can receive and store messages
in the personal mailbox inside the KPC-9612 Plus via radio without using your
computer. And your KPC-9612 Plus can serve as a radio relay station for other sta-
tions without your computer being connected. This independence from the com-
puter is possible because the TNC contains the intelligence necessary to carry out
these functions, once it is appropriately configured and attached to a transceiver.
The Transceivers
For port 1, your KPC-9612 Plus will operate with most FM transceivers.
For port 2 operations, you will need a high speed “data ready” radio (e..g., one
capable of direct FSK operation at 9600 baud).
There are currently hundreds of models of FM transceivers.
You will need to
refer to the documentation for your transceivers to determine how they must
be connected to external devices, such as the KPC-9612 Plus.
Specifically, you will need to know:
•
what type of microphone connector or data plug to use with each of your
transceivers, and
