Messages from the KAM’98
The following are brief explanations of the most important messages that may be
sent by your TNC.
Note: Since these messages are also sent by other Kantronics’ TNCs, they refer to
“TNC”, not to “KAM’98”.
***(callsign) busy
The packet station you were attempting to connect to (callsign) is unable to
accept connects, and responded with a busy signal.
Already connected on stream n
You are attempting to connect to someone you are already connected to on
another stream. The STATUS command will show you who you are con-
nected to and on what stream (i.e., stream “n”).
BBS BUSY
You have attempted to connect to your own PBBS, but the BBS is in use by
another station.
Can’t DISCONNECT
You are not connected on this stream so therefore cannot disconnect. This
message will be followed by the stream and a “Link state is:” message, de
-
scribed later in this section.
Can’t RECONNECT
You have attempted to reconnect to a station (by issuing a CONNECT com
-
mand) but the callsign you entered is not the same as the station you are al
-
ready connected to. You may only reconnect (via a different path) to the
station you are connected to on this stream.
CHECKSUM ERROR
This message indicates that the Kantronics firmware in your TNC may be
damaged. You may see this message when performing a hard reset, or any
time a soft reset is performed (including initial power up), and an EPROM
error is detected.
