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

 

I'm experimenting with one of my BPQ32 nodes. I need advice on how to MAP through a T-Mobile Arcadyan KVD21 Gateway. For only $35/mo it's a great way to provide internet service at almost any location - especially remote node sites.

1st experiment: MAP from my existing -7 node at the Arts Center to my -5 node at my house.

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)

on -5:??? MAP WW2BSA-7 xxxxxxxxxxxx TCP-Master
at the Arts Center: MAP WW2BSA-5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? TCP-Slave

But before I go into a lengthy? post with more details, I wanted to first see how other Sysops have configured their MAP statements with a T-mobile, Verizon, etc. internet ¡°can¡± if they use one.

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".

The TCP-MASTER goes on the node that you have no real control over. WW2BSA-5
TCP-MASTER goes in WW2BSA-5 and TCP-SLAVE goes in WW2BSA-7
?
You will nedd to port forward port 10200, protocol TCP at WW2BSA-7

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

Yes, those items match up with my response.

Thank you to Lee and Mark for taking the time to respond.?
Once I digest the info and work on it and get back to you with my results.

To: Lee and Mark,
?
Thank you for your comments. I am excited to report that you advice helped with my experiment and was able to MAP a T-Mobile internet "can" with the TCP-MATER and TCP-SLAVE commands.
?
There are some locations without internet that this setup may come in handy.
