Netrom Node updates

Hi all

?

sorry if this is a repeat, i did some looking around but did not find anything that seemed to apply.

?

new to linbpq, i have a working instance and a port for a kiss tnc that is sending messages over a radio to another node (uronode), but i don’t seem to be getting ?and decoding node lists to from my other node.

?

is there a trick to get netrom to work over my one existing radio link…..

?

i even tried building a port for netrom and bridged to my async port…..

?

thanks

Hi, Jim:

Thanks.
I did not see any mention of Ohio or 'hub stations'.

Actually, I am interested in how to get traffic from DTN...to delivered.

Hello Kayne,

The perl version can't handle javascript, either, but fortunately it doesn't need to in this case. A port beacon screen can be accessed directly using a URL like the one below for port 5. (default http port 80 in the example)

Then the Test button is button number 2 in form 2.

? ? ? ? ? $mech->form_number(2);
? ? ? ? ? $mech->click_button(number => 2);

Well,

I'd be interesting in seeing peek at this mechanize. Looking at the python version, it cannot do javascript which I think that form at /Node/PortBeacon?X where X is port number uses. So someone must have figured out another clever way around this hurdle.

If there is a designated NTS-D FX/AX.25/IL2P BBS in Ohio, who is it?

Look at the NTS-digital.net website for Easrern/Central/Western hub stations to send your traffic to enter the system. ?

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

OK Sorry I am mistaken UZ7HO works just I cannot get KISSHF to do that 'test'.

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

#42769

Or ports in UZ7HO mode.

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

#42768

Ahh well in that case just a manual test click via web ui appears that that does not work with the KISSHF driver.

I should explain how the script works when using attach. First it's known that after attaching to a port, scanning is paused. The trick is once a port is attached, manually clicking the test button in the Web interface of the port beacon of your choice will transmit the beacon on that port. So a script needs to first telnet into the node and attach to a port, then it needs to effectively click the test button of the port from which the beacon will be sent. I did the web part with the help of the perl WWW:Mechanize module, but I know someone else who did it in python. I'm sure there are several ways to do it.

The port beacon in the Web interface is set to interval zero so that the only time it is sent is when the script does its thing.

Regarding KISSHF, that's a good question. I thought I saw something about being able to include those in INTERLOCK. However I don't think the port beacon in the Web GUI cares which port is attached. So you should be able to attach to, for example, a UZ7HO port, which will pause scanning, and then transmit the beacon on the KISSHF port.

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

Sorry yea BPQ is the source of the beacon, I cant think of another way to do with scan type programming.

SCANSTOP STOPPORT

Hi Mark,

Yea I had thought of that too. But I dont think those block out any forwarding script commands that might run with competing commands. Or if you use the builtin beacon, it does not block the port from changing frequency in a scan type program mid beacon tx. I hope that makes (more) sense.

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

#42763

Oh, that makes better sense reading it that way.

?

Kayne, is BPQ the source of the beaconing or is the modem configured to beacon on its own?

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

#42762

I think Kayne is asking for a change in BPQ so that beacons automatically pause scanning.

With respect to doing it externally in a script, it's better to pause scanning by using attach. That's what John recommended a while back. I don't remember the scenario now where scanstop wasn't working in my script, but switching to attach solved the problem.

Re: Rigcontrol SCAN and beacons

#42761

I'm thinking there are two possible commands to use. Which one to use would be your choice.? There are probably others.

?

SCANSTOP

STOPPORT

?

Either one of those might do what you want.

#42760

Hi,

Is there any way to temporarily lock a scanning radio while the modem is beaconing? I've had a long standing issue where I've disabled my beacons because I use a scan program and while they were on they would often be beaconing and have the radio qsy to the next frequency.

Why doesnt beacon 'lock' a port temporarily like any other modem use?

Hi, John:

Thanks.
I was thinking that a
/G can only create a new WP record or update an existing /G record
/I can create a new WP record or update an existing /I or /G record.
/U can create or update any WP record.

I wonder if there could be a
/S a SYSOP's action created this WP Update.

#42757

Ironically my address is incorrect in a WP update I received from Gary not long ago. Similarly the errant address included only the state and not the region. So it appears that someone is adding or modifying records to include only the state in the address, and bogus addresses in that format are being passed around.

After reading the first few messages here I ran housekeeping in order to force a correction of Gary's address to be sent out, which worked. Then I received Gary's update with my address wrong, LOL.? I'm going to force another update to correct my address, which will also include a few changes/additions made to other records that were in the update received from him.

So, I don't know why my fresh WP Update had that errant data.

Anyone have any ideas?
