|
|
|
|
<P>Netrom has applications and files that control it's function
|
|
and to achieve the G8BPQ look and function we must use these in ways
|
|
never intended. Below is a list of these components of Netrom:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>nrattach Application</LI>
|
|
<LI>netromd Application</LI>
|
|
<LI>nrports Configuration File</LI>
|
|
<LI>nrbroadcast Configuration File</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
Nrattach is the application that works with the kernel and
|
|
establishes the ports and tcp-ip used by Netrom. To use nrattach you
|
|
place it in your startup file and the example looks like this:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
|
|
/usr/sbin/nrattach -i 44.30.2.5 netrom
|
|
/usr/sbin/nrattach -i 44.30.2.5 netnod
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>Nrattach gets some of it's information from a configuration file
|
|
called nrports. This file is shown below:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
# /etc/ax25/nrports
|
|
#
|
|
# The format of this file is:
|
|
#
|
|
# name call-sign alias paclen description
|
|
#
|
|
netrom K5DI-1 #CRUCE 235 Switch
|
|
netnod K5DI-4 CRUCES 235 Real Node
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>There is no change to the nrbroadcast file so the remaining
|
|
changes will be made to the ax25d.conf file. In this file you
|
|
normally put the real netrom application called k5di-1, but since a
|
|
call to k5di-1 or #CRUCE gets undesirable results, leave that entry
|
|
out of ax25d.conf and a user will get just a "busy" when calling.
|
|
<P>Instead put in the netnod and that will allow ax25d to answer
|
|
a call to CRUCES. This is shown in the example below:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
# /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf
|
|
#
|
|
# AX25D Configuration File.
|
|
#
|
|
# AX.25 ports begin with a '['.
|
|
#
|

[CRUCES VIA ax0]
|
|
default * * * * * 0 - root /usr/sbin/node node
|
|
[k5di-4 VIA ax0]
|
|
default * * * * * 0 - root /usr/sbin/node node
|
|
[CRUCES VIA ax1]
|
|

|
|
<P>With these changes netrom node broadcasts will include the
|
|
node K5DI-4:CRUCES and K5DI-1:#CRUCE. By testing it was determined
|
|
that a call from any node to k5di-1 or #CRUCE got a busy, and a call
|
|
to k5di-4 or CRUCES connected to the node on this system.
