10200 or whatever port you decide.? You can even use 10092 if not already used for TCP.

You can send RADIO commands from the node or a BBS forwarding script.

Can't you just leave the radio in USB-D?

If you are running a Sound Card Modem using the internal soundcard and PACTOR (or other TNC Modes) using the AUX connector the input to the modulator has to be changed depending on which is transmitting. As the Soundcard TNC sends PTT ON and PTT OFF commands to the application, these can be used to switch the input source. To enable this add PTT_SETS_INPUT to the RIGCONTROL config, eg

RIGCONTROL COM8 19200 ICOM IC7100 88 PTT_SETS_INPUT

Re: BPQ - VARA

 

The VARA TNC? only supports listening for up to 5 callsigns. I'm a bit surprised you got 6 to work. VARA displays the calls it is listening for on the title bar.

Re: Need Advice: MAP through an Internet T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. "can"

 

Hello Chris,

Assuming the gateway is located at the home site, the maps would look like this:

MAP WW2BSA-7 X.X.X.X TCP-Master 10200 B ? ? ; home

MAP WW2BSA-5 0.0.0.0 TCP-Slave 10200 B????? ; Arts Center

X.X.X.X is the public IP address at the Arts Center, and you can use a DNS name if you wish. The TCP-Slave map does not use a specific IP address - uses 0.0.0.0

The router at the Arts Center needs to port forward the TCP port to the BPQ host. If you use TCP 10200 as the examples show above, then port forward TCP 10200 to BPQ.

I assumed the gateway is at home based on your choice of which map is the master vs. slave below. The bottom line is the TCP-Master map is applied at the site that has the "Can".

73,
Lee K5DAT

I’ve been able to identify the IP address for the can and have had some success using the following format. (x's being the IP addresses)
