Linux                                            30 October 2005                                    KISSPARMS(8)

Kissparms  is  used  to dynamically configure KISS TNCs that have been setup for AX.25 use by kissattach.
       This program uses the packet interface to allow it to communicate with the KISS TNC without  interrupting
       the  AX.25  data stream. Therefore the KISS parameters may be set at any time during the operation of the
       AX.25 port.

       A full description of the KISS protocol can be found in  the  ARRL  6th  Computer  Networking  Conference
       papers  pp  38-43.  While use of the Tx Tail value is now deprecated, it has been included to satisfy the
       requirements of users of old TNC firmware.

       Although this utility was originally designed for controlling KISS TNCs connected to a serial port, it is
       used by a number of other Linux packet radio devices such as the Z8530 SCC driver for  controlling  their
       parameters in exactly the same manner. Therefore kissparms functionality extends to more than KISS TNCs.

-ccrc-type Sets the crc-type to use. For e.g. kernel mkiss: 0 = auto, 1 = none, 2 = flexnet, 3 = smack

       -pport     Sets the port that is being configured.

       -fy|n      This sets the TNC into either full duplex ``y'', or half duplex ``n'' mode.

       -hhardware This is used to set hardware specific parameters.

       -eFECerrorcorrectionlevel
                   Sets  the  FEC  error  correction  level in a DSP card based modem (KISS parameter 8). Larger
                   correction level means better noise resistance, but slower throughput on a  good  connection.
                   This  is  an  experimental feature found in a QPSK modem for the Motorola DSP56001 based DSP4
                   and EVM cards only.

       -ltxtail   Sets the TX Tail time in milliseconds. Note that the command to  the  TNC  only  operates  in
                   steps of ten milliseconds, so only use values like 10, 20 etc.

       -rpersist  Sets the persist value. This parameter is scaled to the range 0 to 255.

       -sslottime Sets the slottime in milliseconds. Note that the command to the TNC only operates in steps of
                   ten milliseconds, so only use values like 10, 20 etc.

       -ttxdelay  Sets the TX Delay in milliseconds. Note that the command to the TNC only operates in steps of
                   ten milliseconds, so only use values like 10, 20 etc.

       -v          Display the version.

       -x          Takes  the  TNC  out  of  KISS  mode  back into ``normal'' mode. This command is manufacturer
                   specific but works in many cases. This option overrides all options except the port number.

       -Xraw       Sends the specified raw value to the kiss driver.
