TITLE a1: Startup KPC-3 Plus ;wait until disconnected - just a precaution! WAITDIS ; ;send just a and wait for the prompt. ;helps to get things going with some TNCs when ;they have been left connected to the radio and ;disconnected from the PC. SEND ; ;wait for the prompt. WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set INTFACE Terminal. Make sure that the TNC is NOT configured ; as INTFACE NEWUSER. The NEWUSER mode will not allow all of ; the required commands to be modified. SEND INTFACE TERMINAL WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set CONOK OFF. Don't allow connects to occur while the scipt is ; running. Last command issued will be set CONOK ON. SEND CONOK OFF WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set XFLOW OFF since the KPC-3 is capable of hardware flow control take ; advantage of it and use it. XFLOW OFF is critical to being able to use ; compressed mail or YAPP file transfer. SEND XFLOW OFF WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set ECHO OFF and FLOW OFF (ECHO and FLOW should always match each other). ; When using a split screen terminal program (e.g., WinPack), you ; should have FLOW OFF and ECHO OFF to allow received data to be ; displayed while you type into the TNC's type-ahead buffer. SEND ECHO OFF WAITFOR cmd: SEND FLOW OFF WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set 8BITCONV ON. If you don't they you will never have any success with ; Seven Plus. SEND 8BITCONV ON WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set CMDTIME 1. This command sets the time allowed for entry of required ; characters to exit the Transparent Mode. The KPC-3 allows a value from 1 to 15 ; with each unit being equal to one second. WinPack recommends 1 second. SEND CMDTIME 1 WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set BREAK ON. Default is OFF. If BREAK is ON, a break at the ; keyboard causes a return to Command Mode from Converse or Transparent ; Mode. You also need to set COMMAND to the proper break character SEND BREAK ON WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set COMMAND $03. Default $03 . We want to make sure the standard ; of is used for our break character (just incase the TNC wasn't ; setting at its default value. SEND COMMAND $03 WAITFOR cmd: ; ; load TNC's MYCALL with $MYCALL value from WinPack. WinPack stores the value ; in the PERSONAL.TXT file in the \WINPACK directory. You may either edit the ; PERSONAL.TXT file if WinPack is not active or you may use the ; functions on the command bar of WinPack if WinPack ; is running. ; Also set MYPPBS and MYNODE using $MYCALL and standard default SSIDs of PBBS/1 and ; NODE/7 SEND MYCALL $MYCALL WAITFOR cmd: SEND MYPBBS $MYCALL-1 WAITFOR cmd: SEND MYNODE $MYCALL-7 WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set all moinitor values to desired value before you set MON ON. ; set MALL ON. ON permist monitoring Connected and Unconnected (UI) packets. ; MALL OFF will only monitor (UI) packets. ; set MBEACON ON. Allows you to see packets addressd to BEACON and ID. ; set MCOM ON. MCOM allows monitoring of Supervisory (control) packets. ; The packets used in background to control Connect, control, or disconnect ; packet circuits. Control packets, when displayed, are distinguished ; from information packets by the "<>" and "<<>>" character sets appended ; to the packet header. ; NOTE: occasionally you may want to set MCOM OFF from the command line ; so you may reduce monitor activity on the screen. ; set MCON OFF. WinPack recommends setting this value OFF. ; set MRESP ON. When ON, monitored packets include handshaking response ; packets. ; set MRPT ON. This command affects the way monitored packets are displayed. ; If ON, the entire digipeat list is displayed for monitored packets, and ; station that relayed the packet is indicated with an asterisk. ; If OFF, only the originating station and the destination station callsigns ; are displayed for monitored packets. ; set MSTAMP ON. This command enables time stamping of monitored packets. ; The date and time information is then available for record keeping. ; If you don't like the time stamp the set MSTAMP OFF. ; set MXMIT ON. This command will display transmitted packets as monitored ; data on your terminal. Repaeted packets will be displayed as they are ; sent over the radio. ; set PID OFF. When OFF, only those packets with a protocol ID of $F0 (pure ; AX.25) are displayed. When ON, all packets are displayed. Some of the ; information in non-AX.25 packets (for example: TCP/IP, NET/ROM or TheNet) ; can cause some computers to lock up. Net/Rom , The Net and G8BPQ nodes ; have a PID of $CF, TCP/IP uses $CC and $CD, and standard AX.25 is $F0. ; set CSTAMP ON. When ON, the daytime stamp is printed with all "*** CONNECTED TO" ; and "*** DISCONNECTED" messages on the terminal. ; SEND CSTAMP ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MALL ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MBEACON ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MCOM ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MCON OFF WAITFOR cmd: SEND MRESP ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MRPT ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MSTAMP ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND MXMIT ON WAITFOR cmd: SEND PID OFF WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set DAYSTR yyyymmdd hh:mm:ssZ. This conforms to ISO-8601 standard which ; starts with the most significant value. The format is modified slight from ; ISO-8601 to add the time zone indicator (Z = UTC). ; Note: I run my computer on local time and set WinPack's PACKET.ini [TERMINAL] ; "DATE_TIME_FORMAT=yyyy-mmm-dd hh:nn" and its "TIME_ZONE=UTC-6" (during Daylight ; time period) and "TIME_ZONE=UTC-7" (during Standard time period).

SEND DAYTIME $YY$MM$DD$HH$NN$SS WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set HID ON. When ON the TNC will auto ID every 9.5 minutes if it is digipeating. SEND HID ON WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set DIGIPEAT ON. When ON allows digipeating through MYCALL and MYNODE. ; This will permit other stations to test their route to you by ; allowing them to connect to their own station via your digipeater. SEND DIGIPEAT ON WAITFOR cmd: ; ; set CWID EVERY 0. A value of 0 turns the ID OFF. The FCC no longer requires the ; use of a CW ID. Turning it off reduces QRM.

When OFF, Private and Traffic messages will not be deleted (killed) ; from your PBBS after they have been forwarded, but will be marked with an F flag ; (forwarded). ; set PBMAIL OFF. When ON, "YOU HAVE MAIL" will be sent to the terminal when new messages ; are available for MYCALL, MYPBBS, or calls in PBLIST ; set PBPERSON OFF. When OFF, the personal mailbox will allow messages to be sent ; to any callsign. When ON, only messages addressed to MYCALL, MYPBBS or PBLIST ; callsigns will be accepted over the radio, but a message entered from the ; terminal or by the SYSOP may be addressed to anyone. ; set PBREVERS ON. When ON, the KPC-3 Plus PBBS will request a reverse forward from ; another BBS after it has finished forwarding any mail to the other BBS. This ; does not affect the ability of another BBS to reverse forward from your PBBS, but ; only affect the action taken by the KPC-3 Plus after it has initiated a forward ; (PBFORWARD command). ; Note: Your PBBS will not forward or reverse forward unless HTEXT is set. ; set HTEXT CO.USA.NOAM. This value is valid for stations in Colorado and will enable ; PBFORWARD and PBREVERSE commands if they are set ON. ; set PBHOLD ON. When ON, any message received over the radio will automatically be ; held by your PBBS for you to review. You may then release the message for ; forwarding by editing it and changing the H flag (for example, to edit message ; number 4: E 4 H). When OFF, messages received over the radio are not held, ; but may immediately be forwarded from your PBBS. (Note that any message ; addressed TO or @ your MYCALL or MYPBBS call will be held regardless of ; the setting of PBHOLD.) ; set PBSIZE 0. This command controls the maximum size of new messages entered into ; the PBBS. A value of zero means there is no maximum. ; set PBUSERS 5. This command controls the maximum number of connects allowed ; to the PBBS. This command causes a soft reset if n is different from its ; previous value.
