Getting out of KISS mode
Title: Message
I have a Kantronics
KPC-3 Plus TNC that I haven't used in about 3 years. I connected it to a serial
port and and powered it up and got nothing. Then I remembered I used it in
KISS mode last and realized I won't see any interaction unless I take it out of
KISS mode.
Can someone help me
out here?
I tried to reset it
by removing the battery and letting it sit for a minute or two and I tried to
set the reset jumper to reset but neither had any effect.
I think the TNC is
in working order, since the last time I used it it worked fine. The power light
comes on.
I know the serial
port works. I shorted pins 2 and 3 and then typed on the keyboard. I saw the
keys echo to the screen.
I set the minicom
parameters to 1200baud, N81 with no control. I also tried 2400, 4800m, etc.
I found something
from the linux-hams archives, but I'm not sure how to execute it:
"To get out of KISS mode is a bit more
complicated. You need to send
the three bytes $C0, $FF, $C0 (192, 255, 192)
to the TNC to restore
normal operation. "
I'm not sure how to
do this if I don't know if my serial connection is
working...
Please advise,
Thanks,
