Kanterm Program Problems
1. The most common problems reported with the Kanterm program result from not performing
the Set Parameters option from within the program. This usually occurs after upgrading your
TNC to a new version of the Kantronics firmware. The cause for this is the need to do a Hard
Reset after installing the new firmware and as a result, the TNC and your Kanterm program are
no longer "in sync" with each other.
2. Commodore users will normally experience this problem when first setting the TNC up with
their Kanterm Software. All lower case characters are hidden, only numbers and punctuation
appears. In reality, The TNC did receive the proper callsign and you can correct your display by
choosing the Set Parameters option from the Miscellaneous Menu.
TNC Won't Transmit on HF – VHF is OK
This problem usually is a result of attempting to switch from one port to the other by using the
PORT command. The PORT command only determines which port will be the default when the
TNC is first turned on, or after a reset. In order to switch from one port to the other for transmit-
ting data, you must use the STREAMSW characters as described in Multi-Connects in the Packet
section of the Operations Manual.
