I am interested in this too.? If I understand what you are saying John...

I have a DXCluster app available on my node (command is DXC), Its SSID is WE1H-5 its alias is MMKDXC.? It is defined as APPLICATION 3.? If I have PERMITTEDAPPLS=1,2 in my port config, that prevents users from connecting to either MMKDXC or WE1H-5 directly on that port, but, if they connect to WE1H-7 (my node itself), and run DXC at the prompt, they will connect to the cluster.? Is that correct?? There is no way to prevent a user from actually running an application command from the node menu?? Even if there is a custom CTEXT without the command, if they know it exists they can use it?

Is that correct or am I confused.

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.

The fields in a RADIO command (unlike scan lines) should be separated by spaces - RADIO 7 14.105 LSB F1W

Hi All

I'm having some trouble trying to set up Rig Control using PILINBPQ VER 6.0.23.63

Radio is ICOM IC-756PROIII

It appears that the only parameter that gets sent to the radio is the frequency, when I issue...

RADIO 7 14.105,LSB,F1,W

Frequency changes OK, but SB remains USB, and nothing else changes.

My port configuration, so far...

Is this a bug in pilinbpq, or do I have a config issue?

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.

I seem to be running into an error where all the applications are listed on a port (in this case specifically the port assigned to HF) instead of only the permitted applications. Is there an additional item I need to add? to BPQ confi outside of the ports or other actions I need to take to make this function. In my port config for the HF port I have apps 2 and 3 listed (Chat and BBS), but the RMS and WEB are listed and available when I user connects to the node. For reference I am running under Linux Bullseye on a RaspPi, and running version 6.0.23.60

If its possible, how do I specify a digi path for the IDMSG?? My VHF port is port 1, and would like to have the IDMSG digi'd through another packet station.

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
