One final sequence of value (particularly for PC compatible users) is the "Leave KISS
Mode" sequence:
CO FF CO
If for some reason, you have INTFACE KISS and PERMed, when you turn the unit off .
and then on again you will be in KISS Mode. The only way to leave this would be to
perform a hard reset, or use the TCP/IP command to leave KISS Mode, or to send the
CO FF CO sequence from your keyboard. The PC compatibles offer this last opportunity
by following this sequence:
Press and HOLD the ALT key. Type the numbers 192 from the numeric KEYPAD — Not
the keyboard. Release the ALT key.
Press and HOLD the ALT key. Type the numbers 255 from the numeric KEYPAD — Not
the keyboard. Release the ALT key.
Press and HOLD the ALT key. Type the numbers 192 from the numeric KEYPAD — Not
the keyboard. Release the ALT key.
Now if the terminal program you are using sent all those characters, you will be out
of the KISS Mode. Remember to PERM the INTFACE command to something besides
KISS if you do not want your TNC to be in KISS Mode when you turn the unit off and
then back on.
Although not currently implemented in the TCP/IP software, the KAM and KPC-4 are
capable of supporting dual-port KISS mode operation. This is accomplished by using
the high nibble (4 bits) of the command byte to indicate which port to use. A non-zero
high nibble, with the low nibble being the previously defined TYPE, will address the
KAM HF port or the KPC-4 radio Port 2, while a zero high nibble will address the
KAM VHF port or the KPC-4 radio Port 1.
