LinBPQ with Winmor port.

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

With the help of the config file of Jerry, N9LYA and some help from John, G8BPQ I have setup a Winmor port on my Linbpq.I use a Microham USB II as soundcard device connected to my Windows PC and a direct Cat kabel from my Linux PC to control the TRX.

Here is the section for the Winmor port. (BPQ32.CFG)

MAXROUTES=64		; Max adjacent nodes
MAXCIRCUITS=128		; Max L4 circuits
MINQUAL=143		; Minimum quality to add to nodes table
MAXHOPS=4		; INP3 hop limit to add to tables
MAXRTT=90		; INP3 max RTT in seconds	
  		; possible, normally about 130, depending upon other
			; table sizes.
;



; TNC default parameters:

PACLEN=236		; Max packet size (236 max for net/rom)

LINMAIL
LINCHAT

/*
PACLEN is a problem! The ideal size depends on the link(s) over which a packet
will be sent. For a session involving another node, we have no idea what is at
the far end. Ideally each node should have the capability to combine and then
refragment messages to suit each link segment - maybe when there are more BPQ
nodes about than 'other' ones, I'll do it. When the node is accessed directly,
things are a bit easier, as we know at least something about the link. So,
currently there are two PACLEN params, one here and one in the PORTS section.
This one is used to set the initial value for sessions via other nodes and for
sessions initiated from here. The other is used for incoming direct (Level 2)
sessions. In all cases the TNC PACLEN command can be used to override the
defaults.
*/

; Level 2 Parameters:

; T1 (FRACK), T2 (RESPTIME) and N2 (RETRIES) are now in the PORTS section

T3=120			; Link validation timer in seconds
IDLETIME=3600		; Idle link shutdown timer in seconds

; Configuration Options:

AUTOSAVE=1		; Saves BPQNODES.dat upon program exit
BBS=1			; 1 = BBS support included, 0 = No BBS support
NODE=1			; Include switch support
HIDENODES=1		; If set to 1, nodes beginning with a #
			; require a 'N *' command to be displayed.

; The *** LINKED command is intended for use by gateway software, and concern
; has been expressed that it could be misused. It is recommended that it be
; disabled (=N) if unneeded.

ENABLE_LINKED=A		; Controls processing of *** LINKED command
			; Y = allows unrestricted use
			; A = allows use by application program
			; N = disabled

DireWolf/Linpq with Systemd.

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

I have a bad time behind me, I have had a lot of arguments with Systemd to start DireWolf and Linpq when booting 🙂
If you like Systemd, you can read some about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd

I want Linbpq to run under /dev/tty2 and DireWolf under /dev/tty3. This is because if I login remotely I can view the monitor from DireWolf with “conspy”. “conspy 3” Hit esc a few times to leave conspy.

Systemd does not want to accept the start line with >/dev/tty3 &

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/direwolf -c /home/pd9q/direwolf.conf -l /home/pd9q/direwolf.log >/dev/tty3

This upper start line does not work.

So I had to come up with something else for that. So i wrote a start file. “direwolf.start”

cd /usr/local/bin
./direwolf -c /home/pd9q/direwolf.conf -l /home/pd9q/direwolf.log >/dev/tty3

Now i wrote a unit file to start DireWolf on boot.
/etc/systemd/system/direwolf.service

[Unit]
Description=DireWolf Deamon
After=network.target
After=sound.target
After=syslog.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/pd9q/linbpq/direwolf.start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=direwolf.service

Now DireWolf is starting very nice on /dev/tty3

pd9q@packet:~ $ systemctl status direwolf.service
● direwolf.service - DireWolf Deamon

Sep 12 10:58:51 packet systemd[1]: Started DireWolf Deamon.
pd9q@packet:~ $

I had the same problem with Linbpq, which I solved in the same way.

Linbpq start file “runbpq”

cd /home/pd9q/linbpq
sudo ./linbpq  >/dev/tty2

The unit file “linbpq.service”

[Unit]
Description=Linbpq Daemon

Ok, let’s see if it is running

Jeff have made some comments about it.

On HF I`d recommend starting with a maxframe other than 7.
With the Tracker`s intelligence I found it best to start 
connections on HF with a conservative value of maxframe = 1 then 
let the modem ramp things up if band/link conditions support it. 
Also suggest keeping a few hundred ms of @T2 in there to help slower radios.

Obviously VHF/UIHF is a different story, but suggest load testing 
different values and being careful if you`re going to have users with the 
Tasco (D72, D74, D700, D710 or KISS mode TNCs with no/minimal buffering connecting in. 
Be sure to test with transfers both ways and large enough 
(at least 7-8kb on the link) to bring buffering issues to light or nasty surprises may lurk.

SCS Tracker Driver for BPQ32 switch

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

SCSTracker.dll

This driver allows BPQ32 applications to make and receive Robust Packet or HF Packet calls using the SCS Tracker TNC. This driver is intended for using the Tracker on HF for forwarding, and only allows one connect at a time. For normal VHF operation or user access on HF, there is a separate driver, SCSTrackerMulti, that supports multiple connections (but not scanning).

Although the Tracker is an ax.25 controller, the driver only allows it to be used by one session at a time, so you must use the ATTACH command to allocate the port before making a call. So if your Tracker port is BPQ32 port 3, enter

ATTACH 3

Possible responses are:

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Ok

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Invalid Port   // Port is not a Tracker port.

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Port in use   // Port is in use.

Once attached to a port, you can issue commands to the TNC. These are the same as you would use to control the Tracker from a terminal, except that you don’t type an ESC before each command.

You can also select which mode a connect will be made in be entering HFPACKET or RPACKET. So to make a Robust call, enter

ATT 3
RPACKET
C CALLSIGN

For a normal (300 Baud HF Packet) call enter:

ATT 3
HFPACKET
C CALLSIGN

Configuration.

The driver configuration is specified in the bpq32.cfg file

The driver is defined to BPQ32 as an External port, and needs some driver-specific configuration

The first line of the config defines what BPQ Application incoming calls should connect to. If omitted, calls go to the command handler.

If you are using the Rig Control feature for scanning, add the RIGCONTROL command next.

If you want to listen for both normal and Robust packet connects, use the SWITCHMODES n command. This specifes how long to spend in each mode. Note Rigcontrol will override this.

If you want users to be able to connect to any of your applications, use the USEAPPLCALLS command.

If you want the controller to start in Robust mode, and return to that mode after a connect, use DEFAULT ROBUST

All commands that are essential to run with BPQ32 are sent automatically. You only need to include any special setup you need.

The commands that are preset are in two groups. One set is sent before the commands you specify, so can be changed. The others are sent after your commands, as they are essential for correct operation with BPQ32.

Sent before your config

M UISC           ; Monitoring Enabled (needed for APPLCALL support)
%F 1500          ; Use the same centre frequency for normal and Robust packet.

Sent after your config

Z 0              ; No Flow Control
Y 1              ; One Channel
E 1              ; Echo - Restart process needs echo
%B R600 or %B 300 ; Depending if DEFAULT ROBUST is set

MYCALL is set to the PORT config PORTCALL if specified, otherwise to NODECALL. Any MYCALL in the config file is ignored.

Other possible configuraton parameters are:

FORCE ROBUST
Only use Robust Packet. Disable any switch to Normal Packet

WL2KREPORT
send Frequency info to the WINLINK database. See here for details.

UPDATEMAP
The modem logs connects to the Nodemap if you have specified a LOCATOR in your BPQ32.cfg. If you specify UPDATEMAP, stations heard will also be sent to the map.

BEACONAFTERSESSION
Send Beacon after each session

SCS Tracker Multiconnect Driver for BPQ32 switch

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

TrkMulti.dll

This driver allows the SCS Tracker TNC to be used in Host Mode for user access to BPQ32 applications. The Tracker can be used in KISS mode for this purpose, but the Tracker’s dynamic parameter tuning works only in Host Mode. There is a separate driver, SCSTracker that supports scanning, but only a single connect at a time, primarily for use for BBS forwarding.

Configuration.

The driver configuration is specified in the bpq32.cfg file

The driver is defined to BPQ32 as an External port, and needs some driver-specific configuration

All commands that are essential to run with BPQ32 are sent automatically. You only need to include any special setup you need. Any Tracker Commands can be entered. The PACKETCHANNELS command is used to set the number of connects accepted (Default is 10)

The commands that are preset are in two groups. One set is sent before the commands you specify, so can be changed. The others are sent after your commands, as they are essential for correct operation with BPQ32

Sent before your config

M UISC           ; Monitoring Enabled
%F 1500          ; Use the same centre frequency for normal and Robust packet.
F 200            ; Sets SABM retry time to about 5 secs

Sent after your config

Y n              ; n is PACKETCHANNELS, Number of Streams
Z 0              ; No Flow Control
E 1              ; Echo - Restart process needs echo

MYCALL is set to NODECALL. Any MYCALL in the config file is ignored.

Sample SCS Tracker Multi Configuration.

Systemd / Systemctl and Linbpq

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Update : Okay, i relay dont like systemctl….
apt-get install sysvinit  / apt-get install openbsd-inetd / apt-get purge systemd / reboot

Debian Jessie uses the “new” systemd. No more inittab and inetd.conf. So a unit file must come up for this.

nano /etc/systemd/system/linbpq.service

systemctl start linbpq.service

Now let`s check all startup nicely.

Forward from linbpq through uronode to fbb.

Posted onAuthorPD9Q1 Comment

There were some problems getting the forward from linbpq through a uronode to a linfbb bbs. I spent a while testing to see if we could get things going. It actually works pretty well.

I have add the following connection script to linbpq

ATT 3
C 44.137.31.73 3694 NEEDLF PI8LAP pi8lap BBS

ATT 3 stands for attach port 3, and port 3 is in my system the telnet port.

Furthermore, in uronode.conf I have created an Alias with the name BBS. So if the command BBS is given in uronode, you will be connected with linfbb.

Alias           BBS     "c pi8lap"

We can test whether the forward script does what it is supposed to do. Let’s start the forward in Linbpq.

Bind bpq to ax25 interface

Posted onAuthorPD9Q2 Comments

I’m using uronode as front end node, but i’m also like to connect to different packet software.
This time it’s linbpq. Lets go…..

First of all bpq32.cfg

ENDPORT

Axports

root@gw:/usr/local/linbpq# cat /etc/ax25/axports
ax1     PI1LAP-9        19200   256     2       Linbpq pi1lap-9

Now the linbpq start file

setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" linbpq

# Link local pi1lap-9
        echo "Starting ax1 "
        if grep ax1 /etc/ax25/axports ; then
        tmpfile="/tmp/$.startax5.pts"
        kissnetd -p 2 > "$tmpfile" &
        sleep 2
        attachthem () {
                read PTS1 PTS2
                kissattach -l $PTS1 ax1 44.137.31.73 || return=$rc_failed
                ifconfig ax1 44.137.31.73 netmask 255.255.255.224 up
                sleep 1
                sed -i "s,COMPORT=/dev/.*$,COMPORT=$PTS2," /usr/local/linbpq/bpq32.cfg
        }

        tail -n 1 $tmpfile | attachthem
        rm $tmpfile
        sleep 3
        else
               echo  "Error ax1 not found in the file axports"
                return="Failed"
        fi
        echo "$1 $return"

cd /usr/local/linbpq
sudo ./linbpq  >/dev/tty4

Ok let’s look it ok now

ps ax | grep kissattach

root@gw:/usr/local/linbpq# ps ax | grep kissattach
 5910 ?        S      0:00 kissattach -l /dev/pts/16 ax1 44.137.31.73
 6504 pts/19   S+     0:00 grep kissattach

Now have a look in bpq32.cfg

root@gw:/usr/local/linbpq# grep COMPORT=/dev bpq32.cfg
 COMPORT=/dev/pts/17

Here you see there is a PTS couple /dev/pts/16 and /dev/pts/17

So we are good to go.

Examples forward JNOS/BPQ/LinFBB

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Here below some examples how the configuration of the forward in different systems works.

Thanks in particular to Bob (VE3TOK) and Gus (I0OJJ) for example configs !

Example Configuration for JNOS 2.0k side
   ----------------------------------------

      a) autoexec.nos

         # regular listener (no IAC) for remote JNOS and BPQ systems
         start telnet

         # another listener (IAC) on different port for LINFBB and OBCM systems
         start telnet 6300 iac

         # for winlink secure login, you have to configure your callsign
         mbox winlinkcall ve4klm

      b) spool/forward.bbs

         -------
         ve3tok
         # Here we are talking to a remote LINFBB system
         telnet 44.x.y.z 6300 iac
         +Callsign :
         .ve4klm

         # NOTE : OBCM supports FC proposal, so it will use B2F, but wonder if
         # I should force a B1F response so RLINE and Headers work properly ?
         telnet 44.x.y.z 4719 iac

         -------
         ir0aab 0023 P

         +Password :
         .BLAHBLAH
         @
         <areas to forward>
         -------

      c) setting up MY winlink authentication

         cd /jnos

         mkdir users		* you only need to do this one time

         ./jnospwmgr -a <callsign> -w

         it will ask you to enter the phrase that you would have received
         from your winlink notice (the challenge/response phrase).         

       * for now please read release notes (search December 8) for more info.

   Remote LINFBB host
   ------------------

     For forwarding to VE4KLM I added the following line to 'bbs.sys' :

       < FWD\VE4KLM

     A forward file for that particular bbs is placed in FBB's 'fwd' directory,
     so an example of forward file, 've4klm' (contents might be different for
     other FBB owners.)

       A VE4KLM

         P A
         C C ve4klm ve4klm.ampr.org 6300
         V login$Wpassword$W

       #  Forward file -- To VE4KLM BBS (JNOS)
       #
       #  Personal mail
       #
       B VE4KLM
       F VE4KLM
       #
       # Reverse fowarding to take place
       R
       # Forward rest of North-America to VE4KLM
       H  VE4KLM.#WPG.MB.CAN.NOAM
       H *.NOAM
       #

   Remote BPQ host
   ---------------

     This is needed as telnet connect script for bpq in forwarding with jnos.
     It is entered in the "connect script" box of the forwarding config web
     page of the bpq mail server.

       TIMES 0000-2359
       Idletime 60
       attach 3
       c ve4klm.ampr.org 23 NEEDLF .login pass

     General:

       attach p - p is a port number cfg'd as telnet port in your bpq32.cfg

       c Hostname TCPport [NEEDLF] User Password [Command]

     Here :

       attached 3 - I configured port 3 as telnet port
       NEEDLF     - Causes a Line Feed to be sent after user and password.
       .login     - The period before the login user name will tell jnos to use
                    a transparent TCP session instead of ordinary telnet.

     See: http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/TelnetServer.htm

     This example line below is needed in bpq32.cfg so that jnos can login into
     bpq and initiate forwarding as bbs.
 
       USER=ve4klm,password,login,BBS

   Remote OBCM host
   ----------------

     ; From obcm v1.07b12
     ;
     ; INIT IR0RM file (JNOS-2.0k+)
     ;          0                  1                  2
