Re: Unknown disconnecting in terminal Mode using Cell Phone as wifi hotspot
I'll checkout linking tomorrow when I am on my road trip. I don't think it has anything to do with DTMF.
Yes, when you are in Terminal Mode and you switch out of Terminal Mode, the serial connection is lost. Once it is lost you'll have to restart QnetITAP after your radio is back in Terminal Mode. (I should be able to fix this, but it will take a couple of weeks.) In the meantime, be sure to "??? HX" before you switch modes so you can power down you Pi.

Unknown disconnecting in terminal Mode using Cell Phone as wifi hotspot
I have been trying DTMF control with QnetGateway in Itap mode in a mobile environment today. ?It appears that I can not stay linked for more than a few minutes. ?REF001C, REF030C, XRF757A, DCS307D. ?I would send the logs for qnetgateway, qnlink and qnitap but I can not seem to locate them. ?
On a side issue, I was trying to have the RPi 3B+ hooked to the ID-4100a and expected to switch back and forth on the ID-4100 between Normal mode and Terminal Mode. ?It "appeared" that I needed to reboot the RPi when going from Normal mode to the Terminal Mode on the ID-4100. ?Is my perception based in any reality?
|
Re: DTMF and Terminal Mode. My imagination go to far?
There are three QnetGateway "entry points" that connect your radio to Linux.
- QnetRemote (qnremote) is a program that will send a short DV data stream to QnetGateway. As arguments, you specify what the YOURFIELD and MYFIELD contain and to which module the DV stream will be sent. REPEATER1 and REPEATER2 are set by the configuration and the module selection. QnetRemote is installed in you default search path so these commands are easily accessible via the keyboard or a shell script.
- If installed, DTMF is a simple shell-script, qndtmf that waits for DTMF data generated by QnetGateway. The script supplied defines commands to do REF, XRF or DCS linking, unlinking or sending an info query. the script actually uses QnetRemote to send these interpreted commands to QnetGateway. Because qndtmf is a simple Bash script, you can develop any commands you like that could execute any command-line-interface program installed on your system. You could add a DTMF command to reboot you computer, or refresh the gwys.txt file and then restart QnetLink.
- Finally, up to 36 different shell scripts can be executed from your radio by putting "????? #X" in the YOURFIELD and quick-keying your system. Here "#" is any capital letter or any decimal digit. Two parameters are passed to the script, MYCALL and the module. Two simple scripts have been supplied, "????? HX" and "????? RX" to halt and reboot the system. These scripts are installed in /usr/local/bin and are called "exec_#.sh", where "#" is the aforementioned character.
Together, these form a very powerful and flexible interface between you repeater/hot-spot and the Linux operating system.

Re: DTMF and Terminal Mode. My imagination go to far?
I guess I need to RTFM myself. ?Thanks Tom for being so far ahead of where my mind wanders. ?QnetRemote is awesome. ?Now I will crawl back into the woodwork. ?:-)
|
DTMF and Terminal Mode. My imagination go to far?
Functionally, I thought I had a good idea. ?Now I think I am looking at the impossible. ?Bash scripts do not control the radio - they issue Unix commands.?
Are the commands from the radio to QuadNet digitized - as in passed through the Vocoder?
Or are they character data strings that could be passed to QuadNet?

Maybe take a look at the EpressoBin an Arm SBC, might just work

Hi John,
Thank you for your response. I maybe slow in understanding what
you have provided. Using the RPi 3 USB, I may add a network
device for the second NIC, for example TP link. Now I have two
ethernet connections, one should be connected to the router and
the other will be connected to the IRP2C controller.
1. I plan to use the Fixed IP address I purchased from
AT&T, assigned it to the gateway or RPi 3. The same set up
for my XLX server, I do not have to open any port forwarding.
This should be okay?

You can also program in a different IP address range on the repeater controller. This is how I did it when we were testing QnetGateway’s ICOM stack. I moved the repeater to 10.0.0.4 and the gateway to 10.0.0.5 and adjusted the configuration file for QnetGateway to reflect the changes.? In fact, all of the ICOM stack testing and bug fixing was performed on a single NIC Raspberry Pi 3. ? Colby ? ?

Hi John, Thanks for the question.
Checkout the "Updating QnetGateway" in the Wiki in this group. Depending on how much has changed since you did you last "git pull" upgrading can be much simpler, if you know what you are doing, like if the changes are minor, you don't need to do a "make clean", but the instructions in the Wiki will work regardless of how much things have changed.
The cool thing about QnetGateway is that it doesn't take very long to make everything you need from a clean slate.
|
How do we update to the latest version? ?Update upgrade? Or start over?
thanks?
|
Okay, sorry about that, but when I did this rewrite, I introduced a bug that prevented receiving incoming DCS. I fixed this and pushed it up. If you are planning on using DCS, this update is a must.
QnetLink (qnlink) is now version 6.0.1.

HI Colby,
Thank you so much for your input. Will QnetGateway work with
XRF reflector. Currently, I am running an xlx server on a fixed
IP address I bought from AT&T. I have set the repeater's
frequencies and verified the repeater controller ID-RP2C
settings according to the manual instruction. Sorry, I am in a
learning process and may ask you more questions. It took me 4 -5
months to get the XRF reflector work.
1. I used Debian Stretch on the xlx server, I already have a
copy. If you suggest to use Debian Stretch, then I would not
need to make iso copy. Just used the same one.
2. I am planning to use one of the fixed IP assigned to the
QnetGateway computer, this should work and no port forwarding I
need to do on the router, just like the xlx server. Will this
work?
3. The gateway server I bought from the previous owner, I plan
to erase the existing G2 software and use this server for the
QnetGateway server. This should be alright?
Thank you again and I will update you on the progress of my
project.

that, but as far as the software end is concerned, its very
easy. If you run into any problems let us know.

Subject: [QnetGateway] QnetGateway instaed of G3
?
Hello,
Just bought a used dstar systems: ID-RP4000V, ID-RP2000V,
ID-RP2C and a gateway with G2 software. I needed help in
setting up our repeater ID-RP4000V with the controller ID-RP2C
using the gateway computer. I was told that I need to erased
completely the G2 software to remove the old callsign. I
already updated the repeater and controller but I need help on
the gateway. I was told that I should look into QnetGateway or
ircddb Gateway instead of G3 software because of linking
capability. I need advice and how will I hook up the gateway
if I use the QnetGateway or ircddb Gateway, will it be the
same hook up as it is stated on RS-RP2C? Thank you.

Re: QnetGateway instaed of G3
HI Colby,
Thank you so much for your input. Will QnetGateway work with XRF
reflector. Currently, I am running an xlx server on a fixed IP
address I bought from AT&T. I have set the repeater's
frequencies and verified the repeater controller ID-RP2C settings
according to the manual instruction. Sorry, I am in a learning
process and may ask you more questions. It took me 4 -5 months to
get the XRF reflector work.
1. I used Debian Stretch on the xlx server, I already have a
copy. If you suggest to use Debian Stretch, then I would not need
to make iso copy. Just used the same one.
2. I am planning to use one of the fixed IP assigned to the
QnetGateway computer, this should work and no port forwarding I
need to do on the router, just like the xlx server. Will this
work?
3. The gateway server I bought from the previous owner, I plan to
erase the existing G2 software and use this server for the
QnetGateway server. This should be alright?
Thank you again and I will update you on the progress of my
project.

QnetGateway’s ICOM stack was designed to
operate identically to the G2/G3 gateway software. So long as
the RP2C IP address for the repeater and gateway is configured
according to the instructions, you would simply go about
installing QnetGateway on the “gateway” computer per the
instructions. ICOM’s default setup has 172.16.0.1 as the
repeater and has the gateway system configured as 172.16.0.20
(which is the physical machine the gateway software will run
on). The gateway system must have 2 NIC cards. One configured
with 172.16.0.20/255.255.255.0 and one configured with your
internet connection with all the necessary port forwards.

My best advice to you would be to install a
fresh copy of Debian Stretch onto the gateway system,
configure both NICs, install QnetGateway, and everything
should just work.? This obviously doesn’t cover the actual
configuration of the repeater such as frequencies and all
that, but as far as the software end is concerned, its very
easy. If you run into any problems let us know.
