INtface TERMINAL | NEWUSER | BBS | KISS | HOST | GPS
Default NEWUSER
When set to NEWUSER, a basic set of only 30 commands is available to simplify operation, When
set to TERM, the full command set of the KAM Plus is available (over 200 commands). Setting this
command to BBS will prevent certain messages from being sent to the terminal (*** connect
request, *** FRMR, etc). This is provided for those running a full service BBS to prevent these
messages from appearing in received text. Setting this command to KISS will enable the KISS code
as specified by Phil Karn (KA9Q) for use with TCP/IP or other KISS programs in your computer.
Setting this command to HOST will enable the Kantronics Host mode for use with special host pro-
grams such as Host Master.
v8.0
When this command is set to GPS, the KAM Plus will enter GPS Mode upon power up. Data from
the serial port will be parsed according to the GPSHEAD command, text will be placed into the LT
buffers, and beacons will be transmitted according to the setting of the BLT commands.
To have the KAM exit GPS Mode, connect a PC or terminal to it and issue three [Ctrl-C] characters.
NOTE: After changing the INTFACE command, you may need to do a soft reset for the new mode
to take effect.
