TNC3

TNC3

[Peter]

Hi

I'am looking for support to get a TNC3S with 2 modem working
With standard kissattach I got modem 1 on the air.

In the ax25 how-to I found:
If you have a dual port tnc and it is connected to
your /dev/ttyS0 serial device at 9600 bps,
the command:
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptyp0 /dev/ptyp1
/usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyp0 port1
/usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyp1 port2

But none of the modem do work
Who has a TNC3S running ?

Hi Peter,


Your info is absolutely right.

However, you should put your TNC into kiss mode manually i.e. using a 
terminal program to instruct it to change into kiss mode (see the TNC3S 
manual).

Communicating with the terminal program through serial port with TNC is 
only possible if AX25 driver is NOT loaded.

Then the order of operation is :

Enter into your terminal program.
Choose the appropriate port and speed.
Reboot your TNC3S in order to make it detect your serial port speed when 
pressing ENTER key (autobaud routine when TNC powerer up).

Type the commands :

INTFACE TERM  and press return

At this point you can monitor incoming traffic on both ports.


INTFACE KISS and press return
RESET        and press return


Now your TNC is in kiss mode and you cannot communicate any more via the 
terminal program. You will only see garbage on the screen.

You can now load the AX25 mkiss driver and continue with AX25 
applications.


Note ; since I did not perform these commands for years (I left my TNC2 
in KISS mode forever) I may have forgotten the syntax) I do not remember 
the name of Linux simple serial communication program...

minicom is the program :-)

Hi all

The trick is/was to put the TNC in KISS mode.
The TNC3S has serveral programmas that can put into the memory. With the 
right dipswitch on the back you can startup a programma In my case 
rskiss. This put the TNC in KISS mode on the rs232 port at boot-up. 
Thanks for the emails!

Adding a basic TIP terminal program as an AX25 driver application is
near the top of my wish list.  It would be handy many times for
getting the attention of a wayward TNC and putting it back into KISS
mode.

JNOS has that and it's so useful I've actually set up basic JNOS
instances a couple times just to have the TIP functionality.

Anybody out there have the source code to the original TIP program?  I
need it for another project (N800..) but maybe it wouldn't be hard to
hook it to AX25.
