stats during YAPP transfers

 

Basically, my question is:? are errors like retries, out of sequence and REJ packets collected by the node stats during a YAPP transfer?? If not, is there a way to see this performance data?

Do you have both the KISS and AGW interfaces enabled in SoundModem? If so there is the risk that both SoundModem and BPQ will respond to a connect request. So long as your users only ever connect to an alias you should be ok, as SM won't respond to that, but if anyone tries to connect to your callsign both will repond and result in protocol errors.

How are you running UZ7HO Soundmodem on a Pi? Or are you running my QtSoundModem?

If you are running Soundmodem on a separate Windows machine, the ADDR line should have the IP address of the Windows machine in place of 127.0.0.1

Make sure that the AGWPE interface is enabled in the Soundmodem Devices menu, with the same port number as in the ADDR line.

Re: How to force a "MAPPED" station to forward via RF instead? #fwd #mail #bpq32

 

I have narrowed the issue down to the connect script and the ports configuration...

If I change my CFG file to use all UZ7HO drivers (no KISS) and adjust the connect script to the below (where Port 2 is my HF Port) and start forwarding, all works FB.

ATTACH 2
RADIO 3.598 LSB 1
C N1ABC-7
BBS

If I leave that in place(changing ATTACH 2 to ATTACH 12 [my UZ7HO "ghost" rig control port]) and go back to my KISS drivers and "ghost" ports ...? no attempt to connect. Additionally, I changed the port 12 config to allow L2 connects, and to listen on channel A.? Still no connect attempts. I also tried redirecting port 8000 traffic to port 8100 but that did not resolve it either (I assume that there is a difference in communication protocols between the two ports).

I am now assuming that what I want to do cannot be done with the config I have.

How to force a "MAPPED" station to forward via RF instead? #fwd #mail #bpq32

 

Hi all,
?
I am running into a challenging issue with forwarding.
?
I am trying to forward, at night, via RF to a station that is mapped in my AX/IP port definition and it's not working.? Here is what I have done and the results I?
have gotten:
?
This is the connect script:
?
TIMES 0000-0659
C N1ABC-7
BBS
TIMES 0700-1059
RADIO 12 3.598 LSB 1
C 2 N1ABC-7
BBS
TIMES 1100-2359
C N1ABC-7
BBS
?
A few things...??
?
1. Port 2 is a UZ7HO Soundmodem KISS port for my HF radio
2. Port 12 is a dummy port (driver=UZ7HO) that I "open" for rig control (Icom IC-746)
3. I expect that, with the connect script above, BPQ will forward via AX/IP from 0000 - 0659 & 1100-2359, and from 0700-1059 it will change the rig's?
frequency, forward via RF on port 2, and return to 14.105
?
What actually happens:
?
From 0000 - 0659 & 1100-2359 BPQ forwards via AX/IP on port 1 as expected
From 0700-1059 BPQ changes the freq to 3.589, does not forward and makes no attempt to connect to N1ABC-7 on port 2, and changes back to 14.105
?
First troubleshooting steps:
Removed the N1ABC MAP statement from my cfg file
Removed the AUTOADDMAP statement from my cfg file
Renamed the BPQNodes.dat file
restarted BPQ
?
The radio changes frequency but still no attempt to connect
?
Next troubleshooting steps:
changed connect script to:
?
RADIO 12 3.598 LSB 1
C 2 N1ABC-7
BBS
?
The radio changes frequency but still no attempt to connect
?
Next troubleshooting steps:
changed connect script to:
?
C 2 N1ABC-7
BBS
?
Opened a telnet session and manually made the following changes
from Node: RADIO 12 3.589 LSB 1 (radio changed freq)
From BBS: fwd N1ABC now
?
The radio changes frequency but still no attempt to connect
?
However, if I manually change the frequency via the RADIO statement then C 2 N1ABC, BPQ attempts to connect.
?
I am stumped.? It seems to be related to the BBS and forwarding component.
?
The pertinent parts of my cfg file are attached as WE1H-7.cfg.
?
I assume that the issue lies somewhere with my ports config.? I use UZ7HO in KISS mode to facilitate alias connections to the BBS and other "apps"
(i.e. users connecting direct to MMKBBS versus the CALL-SSID), but to have rig control and to autostart / autostop the UZ7HO software, I need a non-KISS port,?
so I define dummy ports to handle that which works beautifully for that purpose.? Perhaps there is a better way? Or maybe that is not related to the issue?
at all.
?
I apologize for the long message...? but there's alot of detail. I'd appreciate any help with this you all can give.

This really makes no sense. Could you send me the WX7RNO config and I'll try it here and see if I can find out what is going on.

John,
I tested both connecting right at the termination of a WX7RNO initiated connection and also concurrently with a WX7RNO initiated connection.? Neither worked to connect to WX7RNO. I used both my personal packet system and also the WA6MTY BPQ system to initiate the incoming connections to WX7RNO.

I did briefly research the windows 10 usb suspend/sleep functions and it still may be worth checking on the WX7RNO computer. I will also will look at going back to a restore point prior to the driver updates if such a restore point exists. It will be a few days before I can get to the computer to check it out.

It is a good point to raise. Max Message Number defines the point at which Housekeeping renumbers messages, starting from 1. It is not actually a hard limit, and the BBS won't crash. However it could cause BID clashes, which is definitely undesirable.

Mike, we misunderstand each other.? The original post shows the following:

Bulletins keep for 365 days? (that is > 12000 messages)
Max Message Number 10,000

How can he expect to keep 12,000 messages on his system when the Max message Number is 10,000?

Will messages then be deleted or will BPQ attempt to duplicate message numbers and crash or what?? It just seems to me that Max Message Number must also be greater than the maximum expected number of message that will be on the system at one time.? And in his case that will be greater than 12,000.

Re: Radio only BPQ station not responding to RF connections

 

Mike,
WX7RNO and WA6MTY are both BPQ systems, I manage both of them.? WX7RNO is a radio only station with no direct internet connection, but it has an excellent antenna location and altitude facilitating somewhat distant RF connections over some mountains when it is working. I can access WA6MTY remotely for full station administration.

I am not questioning how to use a new station that I have discoverer or learned about.? WX7RNO is a station that i have managed for more than 5 years and it recently quit responding to incoming RF connections, but it easily makes RF connections that it initiates.

Re: PILINBPQ w/Signal Link USB

 

I'm not at home right now so I can't access my configuration, but the other thing needed to make it work right is to set the delay pot as low as possible.? If the delay is up to high you will transmit okay but your radio will still be transmitting when the answering station responds.? If you have CAT control another solution is to remove the PTT jumper in the Signalink and use CAT for PTT.

At a high level however, the important thing to understand with SignaLink USB with PILINBPQ is that you’re configuring Direwolf (or other soundmodem) for VOX, and you need to make sure that you get your audio levels set high enough to trigger the SignaLink, but not so high that you’re splattering. You probably will need to run something like “alsamixer” (command line audio level configuration “GUI”), and tweak the knobs on the SignaLink USB to get the right TX and RX audio. The Delay knob on the SignaLink USB should probably be cranked all the way to the left (no delay).

I hope this helps.

Hi Mark
?
Sorry about the misunderstanding, I am not sure what will happen in that case, seems to me
I had similar setting Max messages lower then number of day before renumbering I think
Mail Server either crashed or gave me an error, it was some time a go so I just don’t remember
what happened.
Sorry I can’t give you a better answer.
