True, but the latest request was to be able to "put" the KAM XL into KISS mode and exit KISS mode when APRSIS32 starts and stops.
To accomplish this option you need to choose between:
1. Using <OpenCmd> and <CloseCmd> commands in the APRSIS32.XML file?
? ? These commands are specific to the hardware TNC in use.
? ? There are a few examples on the WIKI, but Lynn cannot cover all makes and models of hardware TNCs that have exited.
2. Setup a script file that will
? ? a) Properly configure the serial interface to the hardware
? ? b) Send the proper commands over THAT serial port to ENABLE KISS mode on the specific hardware TNC
? ? c) Use a Simply(KISS) port as the port type in APRSIS32?
? ? d)??Send the proper commands over THAT serial port to DISABLE KISS mode on the specific hardware TNC
Number 2 seems easier in Linux in my opinion, because the COMM port is just a file in /dev.
It is still "fairly easy" in WIndows with the enhanced scripting of PowerShell (not old command line).
