Hint: If packets have been printing on the screen you may have forgotten
which mode you are in. If you wish to see the cmd: prompt type a
<Ctrl+C>, to see if you are already in Command Mode. If the prompt
does not appear then you are either in Command Mode or in Transparent
Mode. If you are in Command Mode, typing a Return will generate the
“cmd:” prompt. If you are in Transparent Mode, you will not get the
“cmd:” prompt when you press the Return key; instead, you need to enter
three <Ctrl+C>s in rapid succession to switch to the Command Mode
and get the “cmd:” prompt.
When you are at the Command Mode prompt, you enter a command for the
KAM’98 by typing the command name (in upper or lower case) and any re
-
quired and optional parameter values (argument settings or values).
+ The command name and each parameter value must be separated from each other
by at least one space.
To ENTER the command press the carriage return “CR” (usually an ENTER
key). As soon as the “CR” key is pressed, the KAM’98 will process the com-
mand request and take whatever action is specified (or inform you with an “EH?”
if it does not understand what you have entered).
As noted above, you can enter the short-form of a command name — the charac-
ters underlined in the listing.
The short form is not necessarily the shortest unique string in the name or the first
match in alphabetical order — rather it is the first match that the KAM’98 will find
as it scans through the non-alphabetical listing of commands in its EPROM.
+
Hint: You can examine the value of any parameter by typing the command name
followed by a “CR”. A special command, DISPLAY, allows you to see the values
of all parameters or groups of related parameters.
