The configuration file I ship in the repo, there are hopefully some obvious fields to fill out. Once all the below holes are filled, you should be able to log in either with [QtTermTCP](../clients/qtttcp.md) or in your web browser at 127.0.0.1:8008, assuming you're on the same computer as the node.
| NODECALL | MM0RFN | The callsign your node shall identify as
| NODEALIAS | RFNNOD | The alias a calling NET/ROM station can use to connect directly to you
| LOCATOR | IO87dc | A 6 figure Maidenhead square where you are
| PASSWORD | test123 | A sysop password for configuration activities
| AUTOSAVE | 1 | Autosave the NET/ROM Nodes Table on shutdown
| NODESINTERVAL | 30 | Interval between NET/ROM NODES broadcasts in minutes
| MINQUAL | 50 | The minimum quality of NET/ROM node included in your NODES broadcasts.
| CTEXT | `Hi you look great! ***` | Text displayed when a user connects
### Ports
Port configs in BPQNode aren't too complicated. A common Gotcha is that you configure a port specific broadcast and end up double-broadcasting, both the node master broadcast and the port specific one.
#### KISS
A common port entry for a [NinoTNC](../modems/ninotnc.md) specifically (but also, more generally, a KISS Modem) looks like:
```
PORT
PORTNUM=1
ID=VHF
TYPE=ASYNC
PROTOCOL=KISS
KISSOPTIONS=ACKMODE
COMPORT=/dev/ttyACM0
SPEED=57600
FRACK=4000
PACLEN=150
DIGIFLAG=0
QUALITY=192
MINQUAL=20
ENDPORT
```
Key settings to observe are the `COMPORT`, which should be the serial port of the device, and `SPEED`. For a NinoTNC this is always 57600, but for QtSoundModem, Direwolf or older hardware may be 9600 or something else. Check your modem configuration!
`QUALITY` sets the assumed quality of connections coming in - I recommend higher quality (up to 200) for higher speed links. Setting this to 0 will disable NET/ROM on the port, and this is current recommended standard practise on HF within the UK Packet Radio Network.
#### Telnet
BPQ's Telnet Port sets the TCP Ports for Telnet, FBB and HTTP connetions, alongside the username and password. This will come in useful when using [QtTTCP](../clients/qtttcp.md) as a monitor and control application.
```
PORT
PORTNUM=9
ID=Telnet
DRIVER=Telnet
CONFIG
LOGGING=1
CMS=1
DisconnectOnClose=1
TCPPORT=8010
FBBPORT=8011
HTTPPORT=8008
LOGINPROMPT=user:
PASSWORDPROMPT=password:
MAXSESSIONS=10
CTEXT=Thanks for connecting\n Enter ? for list of commands\n\n
USER=username,xxxxxxxx,m0aaa,,SYSOP
ENDPORT
```
`USER` is the key configuration to change here - change `username` to your desired administrator username, `xxxxxxx` to the password and `m0aaa` to the callsign of the administrator.
