Hello Ulf,

I re-installed correctly IFD and TS790 modification,
and I could hear 430MHz signal with good S-meter. Thank you.

Well, I powered on TNC31S pressing the internal reset-button
while connecting the power, because I had a terminal program
corresponding to only 19200baud.

And I had erased all files in Flash-EPROM using flash command.
After these work, when applying power to the TNC31s, the following
message is appeared and is not appeared '*' prompt. This message is
appeared similarly in RS.EXE program.

  r:>baud rate 19200, 1 start 1 stop, parity no
  r:>Error 17 - Program not found

Which files in TNC31S-Disc shall I send again into EPROM(128 Kbytes)
to appear '*' prompt ?   I would like to define my callsign, and
new baudrate(57600baud etc), txdelay, time and so on.

Good morning dr OM Mineo!

congrats for this!

OK. Now the Flash is empty.
Only the operating system is still stored in the protected
area of the flash. If you list 'LL', no files are shown.

I do not understand why the first line appears.
It looks as if you have a DIP1.scr file stored in RAM 
which sets the baudrate to 19200. Better erase the RAM 
too by executing rm *.*

second line: The DIP1.scr tries to start e.g. TF.ap from flash
but cannot find it there.

Pse do the following steps:

1. (DOS or Windows): load DIP1.scr from diskette into notepad or
   similar text editor
2. modify DIP1.scr to show like:

   cd r:\
   path r:\
   rsconf 19200 1 no    (or other speed if you like)
   tf                   (starting TF firmware)
   
3. store the modified file to C:\tmp\DIP1.scr   (or somewhere else)
4. run RS from TNC3 disc. Prompt  r: appears
5. clear TNC RAM (list with LL and remove with rm)
6. flash -ae C:\tmp\dip1.scr     (erase flash and store new DIP1.scr)
7. flash -a A:tf.apl             (store TF from TNC3disc)

for the first, this will do.
Instead of TF you may program TNC3BOX as well.
For satellite use, you should (later) add RSKISS and change
DIP1.scr from TF or TNC3BOX to RSKISS accordingly.
 
> Which files in TNC31S-Disc shall I send again into EPROM(128 Kbytes)
> to appear '*' prompt ?

TF, TNC3BOX or (German only) TNC3BOXD are possible.
The script DIP1.scr has to match with these files.

> I would like to define my callsign, and new baudrate(57600baud etc),

Baudrate must be set within DIP1.scr.

Callsign etc. can be set at the * prompt and is stored
in RAM.

Hello Ulf, Thank you for your advice.
I send a editted DIP1.scr file and a needed program(TF or TNC3BOX)
by flash command into EPROM in TNC31S.

When applying power to the TNC, the following sign-on message was
appeared on PC, but the asterisk '*' prompt was not appeared after
both the following messages even though typing the escape [ESC]-key.

   the following message was appeared on PC:

After these message, the asterisk '*' prompt was not appeared
even though typing the escape [ESC]-key. I'm setting a valid
19200 baud in the terminal program. When RS.EXE run again after
exit from this terminal program, RS don't run until I press the
internal reset-button in TNC31S while connecting power.

PS. Today is my birthday (46).

The sign-on is perfect, shows that terminal reads data from TNC.
But should read data from PC as well and has to react on the ESC
key by an *

Obviously, RS232 communication is possible in both ways, you could
send files to the TNC. But why is the ESC not recognised by TNC???

Try to use RS as terminal software. We had never problems with RS,
so this is best.

perfect. That's all you need to wake up with TF

all correct. If you just press ESC now, the asterisk MUST appear.

If you use a different terminal program, maybe ESC has some special
function and is not sent to the TNC?

It appears not before pressing ESC

That's strange. RS will run always (however you see no message
unless power off / power on). But pressing RESET won't be necessary
as (see above) you defined RSCONF to 19200 which is RS defailt too.

> PS. Today is my birthday (46).

Ha! you are about 6 month younger than I am! Congratulations.
I wish you good health, have fun with your family and ...
get the ... TNC working soon !!!

Appeared the asterisk '*' prompt using RS !

When typing the escape [ESC]-key and the [ENTER]-key only first
in RS as terminal software, the asterisk '*' prompt was appeared !
I could set Callsign etc, at the * prompt.

A different terminal program that I was using, maybe ESC had some
special function.

When I can receive UO-36 and TiungSat 38k4 signals with WiSP32
in a few days, I will tell you the rx-report.

I'm MOST GRATEFUL to YOU and SYMEK Co. for your kindness advice.


《補足》

 '*' を PC画面上に表示させるために、具他的には次の手順を踏みました。

  1. 上記のように DIP1.scr を編集し、いったん HDD内に保存する。
  2. Exterm を用いて、ボーレート(TNC - PC間)を 19200 baud に設定する。
  3. Windowsを終了し、MS-DOS(英語)モードにして、RS.exe を立ち上げる。
  4. TNC31S の内部のリセットボタンを押しながら電源ON して r:> を表示。
  5. 上記にあるように EPROM内をクリアし、DIP1.scr, TF.apl, RSKISS.apl
     等のファイルを、flashコマンドを用いて EPROM(TNC RAM)内 に登録。
  6. r:>LL コマンドで EPROM内の保存を確認後、ALT-X で RS.exe を終了。
  7. RS.exe を再度、立ち上げる。
  8. TNC31S の内部のリセットボタンを押しながら電源ON して r:> を表示。
  9. TNC31S を再度、電源OFF/ON する。(次回からは リセットなしで可)
 10. [ESC] - [ENTER] - [ESC]キー の順で押す。(次回からは [ESC]のみで可)
 11. マニュアルを参考に、コールサイン等の初期設定を入力する。
 12. 以下、[ESC]キーを押すごとに '*' が表示される。
 13. 最後に、ボーレート(38400 baud以上), KISSモード等の設定を DIP1.scr
     に再編集し、EPROM内 に登録する。
