Re: scanstart/scanstop during connections

 

Thanks John. As of yesterday the script uses attach as a check for ports in use, and if in use, makes no attempt to proceed with a beacon. If not in use, it still uses scanstop to stop scanning, then sets the frequency, and then sends the beacon. Afterward it issues scanstart to normalize. The above is the result of adding a band-aid to the existing script, but it appears the script could simply issue attach, and if the port is not in use, proceed with the beacon & then detach - instead of using scanstop/scanstart. I was going out of my way not to be attached to a port when issuing the beacon, but I'm realizing now that it shouldn't matter.

Hello John,

I noticed that if I attach to a port, which stops scanning temporarily as expected, and then connect via a different session and issue "radio n scanstart", scanning begins even though there is still a port attached. Shouldn't the scanstart command either be denied or just wait until a disconnect if there is either a port attached or a conversation in progress that started with an incoming connection?

The context is I have a script that can send beacons during scanning by issuing scanstop, setting the intended frequency, and pushing the test button in the web interface for the intended port. The problem scenario is when a conversation is in progress because the scanstart and scanstop commands still work in that case. If scanstart is issued at the end of the script in order to undo the scanstop that was issued first, scanning starts immediately and can disrupt an existing connection.

Thoughts?

Re: scanstart/scanstop during connections

 

Negative.? My forwarding scripts (connect scripts) use attach, which temporarily stops scanning.

The script I was referring to, which does use scanstop and scanstart, stops scanning temporarily in order to send a beacon on a specified port and frequency.

Re: NinoTNC with Windows BPQ32?

 

Thanks for your reply. I figured it would, as I have a working
TARPN node, running Nino's with LinBPQ.

Turns out that the serial port naming convention was confusing.
I initially put COM9 instead of 9 in the serial port configuration line.
It seems to be working now, as expected. Easy thing to goof up,
jumping from Linux to Window$. :-)

Best regards,

Gary, K7EK

Re: Links limited by buffers?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Good afternoon John,

?

As I was assembling logs and config files to send to you, I decided that I would increase my MAXLINKS and MAXROUTES settings.? Problem resolved. I had been decreasing them as I was under the impression that smaller meant better connectivity.

?

Also, as I was reviewing the journal entries for linbpq, I realized I had interpreted the data incorrectly. Linbpq was dropping packets, not nodes, and some of the packet drops resulting in the link disappearing. With the increase in MAXLINKS and MAXROUTES, most of those disappeared.?

?

Once the system stabilized after restarting my node, the amount of buffers needed and in use decreased as well.

?

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!!

?

It is very unlikely that the problem is running out of buffers, but the Node Stats display will show the minimum level reached.

More likely some other table limit (MAXLINKS or MAXROUTES) is being reached.

Can you send me the log entries showing nodes dropping out?

Thanks,
John

Re: scanstart/scanstop during connections

 

After further thought, attempting to attach to a port from another session when the same or an interlocked port is already attached does get denied, so I could modify the script to use that as a check at the start.

Re: QTSoundmodem .72 on Debian Testing

 

On the first, qDebug(datas.data()); displays the return value from the call to FLRIG. This can show a successful operation as well as any errors , so isn't really equivalent to qDebug() << "SetPTT Failed"; What does the compiler complain about with the original?

On the second you need to add definitions of those two routines before they are called, ie

void analiz_frame(int snd_ch, string * frame, char * code, boolean fecflag);
void CreateStringList(TStringList * List);

Normally these are added near the top of the source or added to a header file. I've put them at line 30 in ax25_demod.c

Re: QTSoundmodem .72 on Debian Testing

 

Hello Dave,

Been retired from Debian for 14yrs now so unsure how you are going about the "hardening" effort and hope I am not wasting your time with this but FWIW the?stock source for .72 builds fine here on both x86 and x64 bookworm. Have not messed with trixie at all yet. I would guess the "hardening" mods are tripping these errors?
