Once the connection has been made, you'll receive a message back on your screen from the KPC-
9612 that says ***CONNECTED to WD0EMR (or ***CONNECTED to KA5ZTX via
W0XI.K00W). At that point, you are ready to start talking to the other station since the KPC-9612
automatically switched to the CONVERS Mode.
After you have completed your conversation, simply press CONTROL-C to return your KPC-9612 to
the Command Mode (cmd: appears) and then instruct your KPC-9612 to disconnect. From the
cmd: prompt, type D and press return.
Connecting at 9600 baud
If the Station you want to connect to is operating 9600 baud (indicated by the /2 in the monitored
data) you must first switch your KPC-9612 to transmit at 9600 baud. To do this, type the tilde
character (~) and then the letter "a" This sets the KPC-9612 to transmit packet on the A stream of
the 9600 baud port. Once this is done you would then connect just as you did above, using the
CONNECT command. When you are through with your conversation, you disconnect as you did in
the previous examples.
Note that the vertical bar (|) and the tilde (~) are the streamswitch characters defined in the KPC-
9612, with the vertical bar indicating 1200 baud and the tilde indicating 9600 baud. You switch
back and forth between the two by simply typing the streamswitch character followed by the fetter
of the stream you want to use. The KPC-9612 defaults to ten (10) streams for 1200 baud and ten
for 9600 baud, identified by the letters A-J.
