# Linux Native Stack
|
|
|
|
The linux native stack is highly configurable and can be easily installed on
|
|
all Debian distros. Beware! Most of the tooling is for the command line.
|
|
|
|
More detailed configuration instructions and explanations can be found
|
|
[here](../config/linux.md).
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
To get a basic node setup, the minimum viable software is:
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`apt install libax25 ax25-tools ax25-apps uronode`
|
|
|
|
### BBS
|
|
|
|
To set up a BBS install fbb
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`apt install fbb`
|
|
|
|
## Basic Config
|
|
|
|
We shall set up a single AX.25 port to receive calls and display Uronode to
|
|
calling stations.
|
|
|
|
Setting up and attaching a port is a prerequisite to monitoring, sending calls
|
|
and receiving calls.
|
|
|
|
### ax25 ports
|
|
|
|
Set up your ax25 ports in `/etc/ax25/axports`
|
|
|
|
The following example is for a NinoTNC:
|
|
```
|
|
# /etc/ax25/axports
|
|
#
|
|
# The format of this file is:
|
|
#
|
|
# name callsign speed paclen window description
|
|
#
|
|
uhf UR0CAL-10 57600 255 2 UHF 9600bd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Modify the callsign to your own or your station's call.
|
|
|
|
This has to be attached as to the modem, in effect telling the computer to
|
|
listen to the modem's output. Run the below:
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`sudo kissattach /dev/ttyACM0 uhf`
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring Traffic
|
|
|
|
The application that will show traffic picked up by your port is `axlisten`.
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`axlisten -ac`
|
|
|
|
Running the above will show in the terminal all traffic successfully decoded by
|
|
your modem, and everything you're trying to send to the outside world.
|
|
|
|
`axlisten` can be run beside the below commands - just open a new terminal for them!
|
|
|
|
## Outbound Calls
|
|
|
|
You can call another station by running `axcall` in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`axcall <port> <remote station>`
|
|
|
|
In the case of calling my station from the port we configured above, this would be
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`axcall uhf GB7HIB`
|
|
|
|
## Inbound Calls
|
|
|
|
ax25d (ax25 daemon) listens to incoming data and directs calling stations to
|
|
the application you want them to use. It can present different applications
|
|
based on any combination of the callsign calling you, the callsign and SSID the
|
|
calling station is calling and the port they are calling to.
|
|
|
|
ax25d is controlled by `/etc/ax25/ax25d.conf`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf
|
|
#
|
|
# ax25d Configuration File.
|
|
#
|
|
# AX.25 Ports begin with a '['.
|
|
#
|
|
[UR0CAL-10 via uhf]
|
|
NOCALL * * * * * * L
|
|
default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/uronode uronode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the callsign, SSID and port are aligned with the axport in this example.
|
|
Similar to axports, modify UR0CAL to our own callsign or your station's
|
|
callsign.
|
|
|
|
ax25d is started by running the below:
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Terminal Command"
|
|
`sudo ax25d`
|
|
|
|
Stations should be able to call uronode on your system using AX.25 and be
|
|
presented with the basic uronode.
