Messages from the KPC-3 Plus
The following are brief explanations of the most important messages that may be sent
by your TNC.
Note: Since these messages are also sent by other Kantronics TNCs, they refer to
―TNC‖, not to ―KPC-3 Plus‖.
***(callsign) busy
The packet station you were attempting to connect to (callsign) is unable to
accept connects, and responded with a busy signal.
Already connected on stream n
You are attempting to connect to someone you are already connected to on
another stream. The STATUS command will show you who you are connected to
and on what stream (i.e., stream ―n‖).
BBS BUSY
You have attempted to connect to your own PBBS, but the PBBS does not have
any available streams (PBUSERS) to allow a connect.
CALIBRATE MODE:
M send mark
R receive
S send space
T send square wave
- or + adjust XMITLVL while transmitting
X exit
This message appears on your screen when you enter the Calibrate Mode, and it
prompts you to press M to generate a MARK tone, R to receive a Kantronics
Calibrate signal, S to generate a SPACE tone, T to transmit a Kantronics
Calibrate signal, - or + to adjust XMITLVL while transmitting, or X to return to the
Command Mode.
Can’t DISCONNECT
You are not connected on this stream so therefore cannot disconnect. This
message will be followed by the stream and a ―Link state is:‖ message, described
later in this section.
Can’t RECONNECT
You have attempted to reconnect to a station (by issuing a CONNECT
command) but the callsign you entered is not the same as the station you are
already connected to. You may only reconnect to the station you are connected
to on this stream.
CHECKSUM ERROR
This message indicates that the Kantronics firmware in your TNC may be
damaged. You may see this message when performing a hard reset, or any time
a soft reset is performed (including initial power up), and an EPROM error is
detected.
