Re: BPQ32 config question

 

OK maybe that is it, I want to broadcast my nodes on my 2 RF ports, both ASYN and Kiss.....

I see others doing it with BPQ nodes on my RF links

If I understand this correctly, you are asking for BPQ nodes to be coded to be able to send the "ping" and also respond to it.? So this would work only with other BPQ nodes in RF range, correct?

Re: BPQ32 config question

 

The node does not seem to like the BROADCAST statement in the port definition!

I get an error at node startup indicating "Source record not recognized: BROADCAST NODES"

Re: linbpq64 forwarding problems personal messages.

 

By not forwarding a message BPQ is telling you that it cannot find a route to the recipient.
?
If you created the message in both cases and the values are as you say then it is a situation that cannot happen. We've all been there...
?
But, If the messages were just passing through your BBS then look at the R lines in the messages to see from which BBS you received the messages. Particularly if you received one of the message from the BBS of the addressee.? Your BBS will not send the message back to the same BBS from which you received it, and if it is your only route to that person then BPQ has no other place to send it.? If that is the case then it would indicate a mis-configuration of his BBS, not yours.
?
One possibility is that your BBS received a message for that station and forwarded it to him.
He received another message addressed to him from someone else' BBS, and his BBS sent it to you even though it was addressed to him. Again, a mis=configuration of his BBS, not yours.
?
?
Yes, the log will probably help if you still have them.

Hi Bod,

I don't know the answer, but I'm curious what the route trace looks like in the BBS log. Of a message that does get into the queue and of a message that doesn't get into the queue.
