K-Net Network node
Quick Start
The factory default values in the K-Net PROM have the network node operation
disabled. To enable the K-Net node, the NETALIAS and the NETCALL must be entered.
The NETALIAS is usually a mnemonic that gives users an idea about where the node is
located (other network nodes do not care what the alias is). For example, SUTNE is a
good NETALIAS for Sutton, Nebraska. The NETCALL is the callsign of the node. The
NETCALL consists of your callsign plus an optional ssid (Example - KA0DNV-1). It must
be different from any other callsign used in the KPC-3 Plus (MYPBBS, MYALIAS,
MYNODE, etc.). Use the DISPLAY ID command to make sure that the NETCALL you
select is different from the other callsigns that are in use by the KPC-3 Plus. Many
times, local "customs" will serve as guidelines for what NETALIAS and NETCALL to
use.
Enter the NET ALIAS:
cmd: NETALIAS SUTNE
Set the NETCALL:
cmd: NETCALL KA0DNV-1
This command will cause the KPC-3 to perform a soft reset as memory is allocated for
node operation. Your K-Net node is now in operation!
There are six additional "NET" commands that are only available from the command
prompt of the KPC-3 Plus. These commands and their current settings can be displayed
with the DISP N command.
cmd: DISPLAY N <CR>
NETBUFFS 32
NETCIRCS 5
NETDESTS 25
NETLINKS 10
NETROUTE 5
NETUSERS 5
Other node commands are accessed by connecting to the node, either locally with your
terminal, or remotely. If connected remotely, sysop access (see SYSOP command) is
required to list and change sysop related parameters. NOTE: RTEXT command in the
KPC-3 Plus must be set to allow remote sysop access. Following the above example:
cmd: C SUTNE <CR>
