CHECK n (n = 0 - 255)
default 0
This ―timeout‖ command is used to prevent a ―hang-up‖ in a connected mode when a
link failure occurs as a result of conditions beyond control of the connected stations.
The value entered for ―n‖ is the number of 10 second intervals to wait during ―no activity‖
before making a periodic check (poll) to determine that a connected state still exists.
If n equals 0, this ―timeout‖ function is disabled. While using Version 1 (AX25L2V2
OFF), a check timeout will initiate a disconnect.

CMDTIME n (n = 0 - 15)
default 1
This command sets the time allowed for entry of required characters to exit the
Transparent Mode. In order to allow exit to Command Mode from Transparent Mode,
while permitting any character to be sent as data, a guard time of CMDTIME seconds is
set up.
Entering a value for ―n‖ sets the value of CMDTIME to ―n seconds‖.
To exit Transparent mode, you need to wait at least CMDTIME since the last data
character was sent to the KPC-3 Plus. Then you need to enter the COMMAND
character (e.g., <Ctrl+C>)) three times, with a wait of LESS THAN the value of
CMDTIME between the first and second time you enter the COMMAND character and
also a wait of LESS THAN the value of CMDTIME between the second and third time
you enter the COMMAND character.
After a final delay of CMDTIME the TNC will exit Transparent Mode and enter
Command Mode. At this time you should see the cmd: prompt. If CMDTIME is set to
zero, the only exit from Transparent Mode is a modem break signal, assuming BREAK
is set to ON.
For example (if CMDTIME is 1 second and COMMAND is <Ctrl+C>): wait one second,
type a <Ctrl+C>, within one second type a second <Ctrl+C>, within one second type a
third <Ctrl+C>, WAIT one second, cmd: prompt should appear. If your
computer/program has the capability you can also send a modem break to escape
Transparent Mode.
