Re: BPQ + NTS + Winlink Client EmComm help (sans Internet)

 

This was working after all. I was just not getting the yellow and
green color codes in the web GUI like I do for personals and bulls.

Thanks,

Chris,

From memory so you may have to play around with these and read the documentation.....

In your telnet config you should have the directives to be a Winlink gateway.
CMS=1
CMSCALL=xxxxxx
CMSPASS=xxxxxx

Then you need to provide a relay directive...

RELAYAPP=BBS

Read up on FALLBACKTORELAY as that might be needed in your case.
That will put all Winlink messages in the BBS where users can pick them up. You may need an APPLICATION line to answer Winlink connections.


For NTS messages it is just a matter of forwarding records. A zip code in the TO field will forward to that station and the station probably should be a NTS digital station expecting NTS messages.
In the AT field you can put NTS* to forward all NTS messages, or you can use NTSxx where xx is a specific state to forward NTS messages for that state to a NTS digital station.


There are most likely other ways to do this, I'm sure. I actually run RMS Relay along side of one of my installs as it acts as a Local Post Office and I have not found a way for BPQ to completely simulate the actions of Relay.


Using those hints you can probably get it working the way you want, and may get a few more hints from other users more experienced than me.

NTS* and !NTSCA (will this kill a loop?)

 

I am noticing that some traffic may be looping because I have NTS* as
my outbound partner is the same as my inbound forwarding partner for
NTSCA. I am wondering adding an exclamation mark in front of a
"match" in BPQ. This works in FBB, not sure for BPQ.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Any recommended config for using Direwolf with LinBPQ?

 

This is my current Port config:
PORT
?PORTNUM=3
?ID=DirewolfVHF ;WinLink Gateway 145.030MHz
?TYPE=ASYNC
?PROTOCOL=KISS
?IPADDR=127.0.0.1
?TCPPORT=8001

?PACLEN=128
?TXDELAY=500
?FRACK=7000
?RESPTIME=1500
?MAXFRAME=4
?RETRIES=6
?SLOTTIME=100 ;add to remove error
?PERSIST=63 ;add to remove error

ENDPORT

I want to be able to have my gateway used as a digipeater for WinLink? so I want to add the following entries:

DIGIFLAG=1 ;adding because I want to be able to be used as a digipeater
?DIGIPORT=0 ;digipeat on this same port that I received on

I'm just not sure if this isn't going to just digipeat everything or just the messages a user sends through my node as a digipeater.

Re: PERMITTEDAPPLS not functioning in config files....

 

Good Morning John,
???? I think I may be a bit confused on your response, the only mode I have on HF is AX.25 300bps by way of Direwolf (via TCP) on another machine that handles the HF radio so I assume that is not considered a true "AX.25 port", but instead considered a TCP/IP port? Any chance that there is another way to limit that connection port for applications, or any plans of a new feature to add that ability? Port info below for reference, thanks.

PERMITTEDAPPLS only affects incoming connects on ax.25 ports. It doesn't affect the list of applications that is displayed by the Node ? command

No, it isn't possible to set a path for ID message.

You can achieve a similar effect using beacons.

Re: Adding Digipeater path to IDMSG? #llinbpq

Jim - if there is a way to do it with the IDMSG: directive in the bpq32.cfg file I do not know or have long forgot how. My bpq32.cfg simply contains

IDMSG:
***

I then set the text and a digi using either of two methods. Using the http gui is the recommended way by going to Ports and then selecting Beacons for the port involved which should provide a template to set the interval timing, the destination, any digi's, and the beacon text. The other not really recommended method that can work in a non http gui environment IF you are familiar with the file structure is to hand edit the UIUtil.cfg file although I suspect John may opt to not support doing this...

Re: BPQ + NTS + Winlink Client EmComm help (sans Internet)

 

Yes, I have much of that going already, but I am not having luck with
the zip code in the to: field. I get matches say K6HTN lives in
91104, and she gets tons of messages. I forward her matches to a file
(because we are still trying to get her setup), despite 91104 being
set in my forward settings for her call, I have to manually go in and
tag each piece of traffic to be forwarded. They don't automagically
get tagged green like @NTS* does in the AT field.

Connection from BPQ to Device/Program that is attached via VitualTNC?

 

I have FBB attached to via a BPQ VirtualTNC (KANT Hostmode), I can
connect just fine to the BPQ switch and beyond from FBB, but can I
configure the converse?

From my experience, you can't take the sdcard from a "3b" and put it in
a "4" - it wont run ?

Not enough info to provide any definite answers,

Your pi may now have a different IP address as each network interface has a unique MAC address which is used by the automatic IP DHCP service on your router to lend IPs out to the devices on your network. New hardware, new IP.

This is all based on an assumption that you are using an automatically assigned IP address.

44net is not 44.0.0.0/8 after the IP address sale a few years ago. Current proper routing netmask is a two parter - 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10

Re: AXIP settings for hughes net

 

I second Rich's thoughts.? I have a link to a forwarding partner that uses a satellite internet connection.? Our connection had to be configured as a TCP link rather than UDP.? He is the TCP-Master and I am the TCP-Slave.

It is a stable link that is always on, and reconnects any time either of us reboots.
