AX25 Dual port TNC (kpc-9612)

Here is an ax25 script that I use to control the Dual port KPC-9612 with mkiss and kissattach.

# Dual port TNC KPC-9612
        mkiss -s 9600 -x 2 /dev/ttyUSB1 > /tmp/unix98
        export PTS0=`more /tmp/unix98 | grep -w /dev | cut -b -11`
        export PTS1=`more /tmp/unix98 | grep -w /dev | cut -b 12-`
        sleep 1
        # Port 1k2 144.850Mhz
        echo "Starting ax0 "
        if grep ax0 /etc/ax25/axports ; then
                kissattach $PTS0 ax0 || return=$rc_failed

                ifconfig ax0 44.137.31.73 netmask 255.255.255.224
                sleep 2
        else
                echo  "Error ax0 not found in the file axports"
                return="Failed"
        fi
        echo "$1 $return"

        # Port 9k6 430.950Mhz
        echo "Starting ax1 "
        if grep ax1 /etc/ax25/axports ; then
                kissattach $PTS1 ax1 || return=$rc_failed

                ifconfig ax1 44.137.31.73 netmask 255.255.255.224
                sleep 2
        else
                echo  "Error ax1 not found in the file axports"
                return="Failed"
        fi
        echo "$1 $return"

 

Bind bpq to ax25 interface

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
Change the comport to COMPORT=/dev

PORT
 PORTNUM=1
 ID=Link Local
 TYPE=ASYNC
 PROTOCOL=KISS
 FULLDUP=0
 COMPORT=/dev
 SPEED=19200
 CHANNEL=A
 NOKEEPALIVES=0
 PERSIST=160
 SLOTTIME=180
 TXDELAY=180
 TXTAIL=23
 QUALITY=192
 MINQUAL=100
 MAXFRAME=4
 FRACK=5000
 RESPTIME=1000
 RETRIES=25
 PACLEN=128
 UNPROTO=APBPQ1,PI1LAP-5
 BCALL=PI1LAP-9
 L3ONLY=0
 DIGIFLAG=1
 DIGIPORT=0
 USERS=0
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.

The route to pi1lap-9 is there in uronode. Let’s try a connect.
