APRS-SCS

VERY IMPORTANT TNC Setup 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.

Sound Card Setup Information:
APRS-SCS only uses Frank WB5IPM sound card software.
You can obtain Frank's software at TAPR.org
Read all about Frank's software there.

Internet setup Information
On the Internet setup tab located on the Setup menu Item you will find all the
information you need to setup your internet connection.

Note APRS-SCS only allows one internet connection at a time.
This greatly reduces the chance of loops.
