TNCINIT     Kissmode switching or New Configuration of a
V 9.0       TAPR or WA8DED/TF-SW eprom from Initialisation file.

(c)DL5FBD

  Call:         TNCINIT Parameter list

The Parameter requires a ":" separator before the value.
The Filename must be given, all other Parameters are
started with default values as shown in brackets ( ) below.

 F:File         Name of the Intialisation file
 C:Port         Serial Port  COMx                   (1)
 C:Port,Adr,IRQ complete Port Definition
 B:Baudrate     Baudrate                            (9600)
 W:Word length  Word length 7,8                     (8)
 P:Parity       Parity K=none, G=even, U=odd        (K)
 SB:Stopbit     Stopbits 1,2                        (1)
 H:Handshake    Handshake K=none H=hardware S=soft. (K)
 S:TNCSoft      Software Ident. "TAPR","TF"         (TAPR)
 E:             Data Echo on Monitor                (no Echo)
 U:hh,mm        UTC-Time offset in Hours, Minutes   (0,0)

Parameter File Command Lines are able to be established. With
these Command Lines, TNCINIT-Actions can be requested, Delay
Times redefined or executed.

 D:Time (ms)     General Delay in ms
                 This Delay time can be requested at optional 
                 positions in the Parameter File and will be   
                 awaited directly.
 CD:Time (ms)    Character Delay in ms
                 This Delay time will be observed between the
                 transmission of each Character.
 LD:Time (ms)    Line Delay in ms
                 This Delay time will be executed at the end of a
                 transferred line and gives the TNC extra time
                 for the interpretation and execution.
 K:              Kiss Reset Command
                 Carries out the KISS-Reset command dependant on
                 the WA8DED/TF-SW or TAPR-SW.
 U:              Time and Date Transfer.
 U:hh,mm         Time with Offset (Hrs,Min) from UTC
                 Transfer the actual PC-sytem time to TNC.
 E:ON E:OFF      Switch Echo on "ON" or off "OFF"
                 Serves in the testing of Delaytime parameter
 BR:Time (ms)    Sends, for the indicated time a Break Signal.
 BY:xx,yy,zz,..  Sends a series of Bytes in Hexadecimal ($n) or
                 Decimal. Each is separated by commas as shown.
                 It is therefore possible to transmit to the
                 TNC Ctrl-Characters
 CL:ON CL:OFF    CL:ON cause the TNC to be toggled into the Command
                 Mode before the transfer of a line.
                 CL:OFF switches off this toggle, eg. for the
                 Initialisation of TNC-Mailboxes (PK232 et.al)
 HR:             Toggles a TNC with WA8DED/TF-Software out of Host
                 Mode into the Terminal Mode.
 L:xx            Targets Set/Reset of the Handshake controls
                 RTS, DTS by means of a Control Byte in the form
                 DTR= Bit 1 and RTS= Bit 0 for RS232-Multiplex
                 hardware such as eg.  TNCIO-Card
                 Certainly the dependancy xx for the TNC
                 Number at the Multiplexer must be probed.
 : Remark        Add a Remark to the Documentation. A Remark line
                 is not interpreted by TNCINIT when preceeded
                 by a colon (:) at the beginning of a line.

Independent of this, a remark may follow a TNCINIT-Command
if it is separated from the command by at least one space or a
Tabulator character.

e.g.   CD:25     25ms  Character Delay
       LD:200    200ms Line Delay

These Comments make an Initialisation file understandable and
therefore to easy to manipulate.

Typical example for COM3 Address=338H IRQ=2 with 19200 Bd.
and the Initialisation file KISSOFF.DAT for TAPR-SW.

TNCINIT C:3,$338,2 B:19200 S:TAPR F:KISSOFF.DAT

The Initialisation file KISSOFF.DAT can look as follows:
   : Demonstration of a KISS-Reset and Intialisation file
   CD:20            Character Delay   20ms
   LD:100           Command Delay     100ms
   K:               KISS-Reset sent
   D:2000           After KISS-Reset 2s Initialisation pause
   AWLEN 8
   PARITY 0
   MYCALL DL5FBD
   RESTART
   D:2000           After RESTART 2s Initialisation pause

Here the Transfer Parameters are: 8 Bit, no Parity and
1 Stopbit which are the predefined standard in TNCINIT.
