The Tnc Com Port And Tnc Baud Rate Drop Down List Boxes.
Here is where the user selects the PC Com Port where
His Tnc is connected to.
The User does this by clicking on the down arrow next to the Com Port
Drop Down List Box. Then click on the PC Com Port number that your
Tnc is connected to.
Here is where the user selects the PC Com Port Baud Rate.
Note this is not the over the AIR Baud rate which is typicaly 1200 baud.
The baud rate I am refering to is the PC Com Port Baud Rate.
This is the Baud Rate that the Com Port is set to. This Baud Rate has to
match the Baud Rate that the Tnc is set to.
In a Kantronics TNC this is the Baud Rate that the Tnc Command abaud sets up.
You set up this Baud Rate in APRS-SCS by clicking on the down arrow next to the
Tnc Baud Rate Drop Down List Box then clicking on the Baud Rate Number that
matches the Baud Rate that your Tcn is set to.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
In order to use APRS-SCS the user on his own must put His or Her TNC into KISS Mode
Before Opening the TNC Port in APRS-SCS.
Because all the different Tnc manufactures chose
to make the command for putting a TNC into KISS mode different.
Also APRS-SCS has no way of knowing wheither the Tnc is in Command mode, Convers Mode
or KISS mode. And on top of all that each Tnc has a different command to go between
the different modes. I chose to make the user responsible for putting His Or Her
Tnc into KISS Mode.
I suggest you start up a terminal porgram such as hyper terminal and then Manualy
type in the commands to put your Tnc into KISS Mode.
Note on exit of APRS-SCS your Tnc will still be in KISS Mode.
