Chapter 4 - Operation

If your computer keyboard does not have these two keys you may change them to any ASCII
character you prefer. If you need to change either of them, you should select characters you will
not use in normal Packet conversations. A possible choise is the dollar sign ( $ ) and percent sym-
bol ( % ). If you wish to use this pair, at the cmd: prompt enter STREAMSW 36/37. These decimal
numbers will set hex $24 as the HF streamswitch and hex $25 as the VHF streamswitch. (36 is the
$ symbol, 37 is the % symbol.)
Outgoing packets will be addressed to the last stream used, unless you specify otherwise with
a streamswitch character.
To change streams you must type the streamswitch character followed immediately by the
stream designator. The stream designator is an alphabet character A though Z limited by the value
of
MAXUsers
. To switch to the C stream on the HF port, type $C. To switch to the B stream on the
VHF port, type %B. Only two keys are typed, no carriage return is needed.
The
Status
command:
Status
is an immediate command which will instruct KAM to display the
status of all channels or streams. If you type this command at the cmd: prompt, KAM will return
the following display:
A/H Stream DISCONNECTED
B/H Stream DISCONNECTED
C/H Stream DISCONNECTED
D/H Stream DISCONNECTED
E/H Stream DISCONNECTED
F/H Stream DISCONNECTED
G/H Stream DISCONNECTED
H/H Stream DISCONNECTED
I/H Stream DISCONNECTED
J/H Stream DISCONNECTED
A/V Stream I/O DISCONNECTED
B/V Stream DISCONNECTED
C/V Stream DISCONNECTED
D/V Stream DISCONNECTED
E/V Stream DISCONNECTED
F/V Stream DISCONNECTED
G/V Stream DISCONNECTED
H/V Stream DISCONNECTED
I/V Stream DISCONNECTED
J/V Stream DISCONNECTED
Here you see displayed the current status of each 10 possible channels or steams, on both the
HF port and VHF port- The letter left of the slant bar ( / ) is the stream identifier and the letter
right of the slant bar is the port identifier. Letter H indicates a stream on the HF port and the letter
V indicates a stream on the VHF port. Additionally, the status display shows the stream to which
the KAM I/O (Input/Output) is currently connected. When initially powered on, the I/O is directed
to stream A of the VHF port.
The
STATSHRT
(Status-Short) command:
STATSHRT
has two possible values – ON and OFF.
This command can be used to shorten the display returned by KAM when you use the
Status
com-
mand. Turning STATSHRT ON will cause KAM to report only those streams having a connected sta-
tion or to which the I/O is currently directed. At the cmd: prompt, enter the command STATSHRT
ON<CR>. Next, enter the command Status. The KAM will now report the following status which
appears on your display.
A/V STREAM - I/O DISCONNECTED
