Commands: Setup, Using the MAIN Menu
Pacterm needs to know a few things in order to communicate with your TNC:
1. What mode of communication will you be using: packet or HF- Non-Packet.
If you are using a TNC (e.g. KPC-3 Plus), then you’ll be using packet.
Pacterm accommodates non-packet modes too for multi-mode Kantronics
TNCs (e.g. KAM Plus).
2. What COM port is going to be connected to the TNC? The default “current
COM PORT” is COM2, but you can switch to COM1.
3. What BAUD rate should Pacterm use to send data to the TNC? The default is
9600 BAUD, but you can select any of the following BAUD rates: 300, 600,
1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600.
+ Hint: Pacterm begins each session with the default settings for COM port
(COM2) and BAUD rate (9600), so if you are using non-default setting(s), you
will need to use the relevant SETUP function(s) to start each session.
F3 = Select TNC Use (Default = Packet)
Pressing F3 switches back and forth between two uses of your TNC: with Packet
communication (default) or with HF Non-Packet communication. The current
setting for this is shown on the MAIN Menu screen.
TNC users should always have Packet selected. Kantronics’ KAMs can operate
using either Packet or HF Non-Packet communication. Several functions work
differently in HF Non-Packet, so you should not select HF Non-Packet communi-
cation unless that is what you want to do.
+ Hint: If you accidentally press the F3 key and switch uses of your TNC, you will
know right away because: (1) the display of the current TNC use will change
from Packet to HF Non-Packet, and (2) a box will appear in the lower right of the
screen, showing additional functions that are for use with HF Non-Packet
communication instead of Packet communication. To switch back from
HF Non-Packet to Packet communication, simply press F3 again.
