Providing RMS via AREDN from LinBPQ


 

Hello

Can a LinBPQ connected to a AREDN node provide a RMS service via AREDN?

Provided that somewhere on the ARDEN network there is a node with Internet to access an RMS Server then yes.

Interesting question, I¡¯m an ardent AREDN MESH user, and ARRL Tech Spec on the subject.

The RMS servers are on the Public Internet, AREDN is not. BUT, you can bridge to public internet from your AREDN MESH router, there may be a way.

POINT: AREDN is amateur radio, so any RF links in the AREDN MESH network must NOT be encrypted.

Give it a try, Heber, we¡¯re always looking for experimenters in AREDN.

Attached is a 1 minute video segment from a video by Orv Beach w6bi.
(2.5 MBytes)

In addition to 'auto-discovery' by Winlink Express...
My 'Winlink Post Office' on my AREDN network server only requires
BBS registration and a web browser to send/receive Winlink email.

This is configurable with the BPQ32 application.

Here is another link:


 

Absolutely.?

Open Winlink Express
Open a Telnet Post Office Session
Click Add Server
Click UPDATE AREDN MESH NODE LIST

This only works if your node is connected to the mesh network properly.

My question was to broad, I do know on how to configure the Winlink client and the AREDN node on how to make the service available.

We were doing test yesterday and messages where being accepted by the BBS and routing them through our KP4DOG BPQ network as a BBS message.

Do we have to change something on the BPQ config to accept traffic via port 8772 or it will accept it natively to relay to the Winlink's CMS?

Or does de BBS respond to the Winlink client and sends the messages as a BBS message?

Or can both operation occurred?

If you could answer a few questions it should help me understand exactly what you are trying to do.

Are you using Winlink Express as your client? If not, what client is being used?

Is your Winlink gateway on the same machine as your BBS, or somewhere else on the Mesh?

Do your clients connect directly via the Mesh to your BBS, or are there other BBS's on the Mesh that they connect to, then forward messages to the Winlink gateway?

Do you want all messages between clients to be routed via Winlink?
