PK-232 – MBX OPERATING MANUAL
COMMAND SUMMARY
4/91
A-48
173
$xC signifies data to be transmitted. Unlike the $x0 command, the $xC byte is followed by two
frame ID bytes, then the data; when the TNC transmits the frame, it notifies the host application
by echoing back FEND, the $xC byte, the two frame ID bytes, and FEND.
$xE is the polling command, similar to the HOST "GG" command existing in AEA products. Polling
makes multi-TNC KISS operation possible. If KISS polling is enabled, the TNC holds received data
until the host application sends the poll command. If the TNC is holding no data, it echoes back
FEND $xE FEND. The "x" in "$xE" must match the number in the KISSADDR command for the TNC
to respond.
If KISS checksum is enabled, a checksum byte is added to the end (before the final FEND) of all
KISS blocks flowing between the TNC and the host application.
The checksum is the exclusive-OR of all other bytes between the FEND bytes, taken before KISS
escape transpositions. A checksum is helpful when using multiple TNCs on a marginal RS-232 link.
If the PK-232 receives a KISS block with a bad checksum, it does not transmit the data.
In KISS and Raw HDLC modes, communication activity on the RS-232 link is shown by illuminating
the STA and CON LEDs as follows:
Host to TNC Communication: STA LED illuminated.
TNC to host Communication: CON LED illuminated.
HOST OFF (3 <CTRL-C>s) will force KISS OFF. Details on the use of KISS TNC protocol are con-
tained in Timewave's Technical Manual for the PK-232.
KISSA
ddr "n"
Default: 0
Mode: Packet
Host: KA
Parameters:
"n" -
Is a number from 0-15 signifying the KISS address of the TNC's radio port.
Radio port addressing is available in the high nibble of the KISS command byte. The PK-232 com-
pares the high nibble of the KISS command byte to KISSADDR only if extended KISS mode is en-
abled. If the command does not match KISSADDR, the TNC takes no action. Exception: the exit-
KISS command $FF works no matter what the value of KISSADDR or the status of extended KISS
mode.
LA
stmsg "n"
Immediate Command
Mode: Packet MailDrop
Host: LA
Parameters:
"n" -
0 to 999 specifies the message number of the last MailDrop message.
The number 0-999 is the number of the last message sent by a remote user or the SYSOP to the
MailDrop. This command is handy for checking the last message sent to your MailDrop system.
The LASTMSG command also allows the MailDrop message counter to be set to any value, or sim-
ply reset by setting LASTMSG 0.
LE
ftrite ON|OFF
Default: ON
Mode: FAX
Host: LR
Parameters:
ON -
The FAX signal is scanned from left to right.
OFF - The FAX signal is scanned from right to left.
