The EDIT command will also permit you to edit the text of a message. The format to edit text is:
E # "string1" "string2"
Specify the message number in place of #. The KAM Plus will then replace the FIRST occurrence
of string1 with string2. You may use either double quotes ( " ) or single quotes ( ' ) to delimit the
strings. Be careful when editing a message. For instance, if you try to replace "the" with "those"
and the first occurrence of "the" happens to be in the word thermal, you would end up with tho-
sermal. It may be wise to search for "the" if you want to replace the word "the".
Remote Access to your KAM Plus
Your Kantronics KAM Plus includes the ability to connect from a remote station and change the pa-
rameters in the KAM Plus. This allows you to add or delete stations from the LLIST, change the
size of the PBBS, change the MYCALL and so on. Extreme caution must be used when you are ac-
cessing your KAM Plus from a remote location. There is no built-in safeguard, and as such it is pos-
sible for you to change parameters such that the remote KAM Plus will no longer communicate.
In order to change parameters in a remote KAM Plus, the RTEXT in the remote KAM Plus must be
set to a text string that will be used as the password string. For instance, you might set your
RTEXT to:
RTEXT This system belongs to W0ABC in Lawrence, Kansas 66046
The remote KAM Plus must also have its MYREMOTE set to a unique callsign (i.e. W0ABC-4, or
XYZREM). If these two parameters are not set as indicated, remote access to the command set of
this KAM Plus is not possible.
When these parameters are set, you can connect to the MYREMOTE callsign of the remote KAM
Plus. The MYCALL in your TXC must match the MYCALL of the remote KAM Plus (excluding SSID).
In the example above, the MYCALL callsign of the KAM Plus I want to change is set to W0ABC and
the MYREMOTE is XYZREM, so the callsign of the connecting station must be W0ABC-
x
(
x
= any
SSID).
When the connection is made, the remote KAM Plus will send three lines of numbers. The numbers
would look like:
5 20 43 36 18 3
37 1 44 14 28 19
48 26 8 52 22 1
You must then pick ONE of these lines and decode the password string. Let's say I choose to de-
code line 3 (48 26 8 52 22 1). Rewriting my RTEXT string to make this easier I would have:
1 2 3 4 5
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234
This system belongs to W0ABC in Lawrence, Kansas 66046
To decode the string, character 48 is "s", character 26 is "A", character 8 is "s", character 52 is "0",
character 22 is "o" and character 1 is "T". I must send the following in response to my remote ac-
cess attempt:
sAsOoT
Note that case is significant and spaces are considered valid characters. If you fail to properly de-
code the password, the KAM Plus will send three new lines of numbers. You will be given a maxi-
mum of three attempts to properly decode the password string, if you fail in three attempts, the
KAM Plus will disconnect you and disable connects to the MYREMOTE for 15 minutes. Also, if you
