Operation of the KPC-9612
This section of the manual describes KPC-9612 operation. You will benefit most from this section if
you read from it while you are at your station with your KPC-9612 connected to your computer and
radio, therefore you may follow the examples and experiment with the unit. Start with your KPC-
9612 in the Command Mode. When you first turn the KPC-9612 on, it sends its sign-on message
(
KANTRONICS PACKET COMMUNICATOR 9612...
) and then the prompt
cmd:
. This is the Com-
mand Mode of your KPC-9612.
The operational examples we use assume a standard terminal communications program such as
the Pacterm program provided with the KPC-9612, or a telephone communications program such
as Procomm Plus is in use. If you are using a specialized ham-radio program, or a Host Mode pro-
gram (Host Master}, these examples will not apply. Host programs typically communicate with the
KPC-9612 for you, simplifying your operation. Refer to your software manual if you are using these
specialized programs.
Packet Operation
When you first turn your KPC-9612 on, it sends you a sign on message and then a command
prompt (
cmd:
).
After you first turn on your KPC-9612 it will monitor packet data received on Port 1 and Port 2. As
packets are received, the KPC-9612 displays them on your terminal. After a period of monitoring,
your screen may took like the following:
N0ULD>N0GRG/1:<<D>>:
WK5M>KA5ZTX/2:<<I12>>:
Hello there... how are you today?
WD0EMR>W0XI,KSLAW*/2:<<I32>>:
Are you there Phil?
N0GRG>N0APJ/1:<<DM>>:
KA5ZTX>WK5M/2:<<rr2>>:
N0GRG>K00W/1:<I4>:
Hi Ken, yes I received my KPC-9612 last week and it really is work-
ing well.
These are all monitored packets. The line with the callsigns separated by
>
symbols is the header
line, which shows the callsigns of the stations talking and the port of the KPC-9612 that received
the information. The
/1
indicates this packet was monitored on the 1200 baud port of the KPC-
9612, and
/2
indicates the 9600 baud port heard the packet. The line above showing KSLAW in
the header indicates that WD0EMR is transmitting to W0XI, and is using a digipeater (KSLAW). The
*
in front of the KSLAW name means that your KPC-9612 actually received this packet as it was
being transmitted by KSLAW, and not when it was being transmitted by WD0EMR.
Suppose you want to connect to N0GRG. Since this station was monitored on 1200 baud, you must
be sure your KPC-9612 is set to transmit on Port 1. Type the | character and the letter A. The |
character is your Port 1 streamswitch character, and the letter A means you will transmit on the A
stream. Now type
C N0GRG
and press return. Your KPC-9612 will transmit a connect frame ad-
dressed to N0GRG and start the connection. When N0GRG responds to your connect request, the
KPC-9612 will send a message to your terminal saying
***CONNECTED to N0GRG
. You are now
ready to start talking to this station. You simply type your message and press return. Each time
you press return, you will send a packet to N0GRG.
