control and sense voltage levels in a local device (i.e., a device attached
to the auxillary port of the KAM’98) opens up a wide range of uses for
the KAM’98, but the most important payoff is when this is combined
with remote access to the KAM’98, as described below.
•
Remote access: As with other Kantronics devices, the KAM’98 can be
accessed and controlled from a remote location (with password control,
if desired), so most KAM’98 commands can be issued from a remote
station connected this way to the KAM’98. For example, the control and
sensing operations done through the auxillary port of the KAM’98 can
now be initiated remotely. This makes possible a virtually unlimited
range of uses of the KAM’98 for remote sensing (telemetry) and/or
control (e.g., remote temperature sensing, battery status monitoring, and
opening/closing of relays).
• Other operations: The KAM’98 also supports WEFAX, EMWIN,
HOST mode, and the KISS protocal (all of which are discussed in this
manual).
• Software control: The KAM’98 can be controlled with terminal
communication programs, including Kantronics’ DOS-based Pacterm 2.0
(which ships with the device), and Kantronics’ Pacterm’98, a
full-featured terminal communication program running under Windows
95/98/NT. Terminal programs included with Windows 3.1(TERMINAL)
and Windows 95/98/NT (Hyperterminal) can also be used to operate the
KAM’98 .
•
Configurations: The KAM’98 is easy and flexible to configure to
operate in selected modes, with a wide range of external devices,
including remote TNCs, GPS devices, external modems, and remote
sensing and control devices. Configuration is done using software mode
selection and parameter setting, external port selection, and internal
jumper settings.
These KAM’98 features provide the commercial, goverment, and amateur user
with a wide range of possible applications.
