Building QnetGateway support for Icom's Terminal and Access Point Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright (C) 2018 by Thomas A. Early N7TAE
|
||||
|
||||
I'll assume you'll be doing this on a Raspberry Pi, but any modern Debian-based
|
||||
system should work. It just needs a g++ compiler with version greater than 4.9.
|
||||
These instructions assume you have configured your system with the locale, keyboard
|
||||
and time zone. When choosing locale, always choose a "UTF-8" version of your
|
||||
locale. And make sure you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" before
|
||||
your start. On a Raspberry Pi, you can do all of this with the configureation menu:
|
||||
"sudo raspi-config".
|
||||
|
||||
1) Install the only external library you need: sudo apt-get install libconfig++-dev
|
||||
Yeah! No wxWidgets!
|
||||
|
||||
2) From your home directory, clone the QnetGateway software:
|
||||
git clone git://github.com/n7tae/QnetGateway.git
|
||||
|
||||
3) Get into the build directory: cd QnetGateway
|
||||
|
||||
4) Then compile: make itap
|
||||
If you are building on a multi-core computer, don't forget the -j option!
|
||||
On a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, use "-j4". Sorry, a Raspberry Pi Zero or a Beagle
|
||||
Bone Black just has a single core.
|
||||
|
||||
5) You need a configuration file called qn.cfg for QnetGateway. A good, nearly
|
||||
working config file is qn.itap.cfg. Copy it to qn.cfg and edit it. The default
|
||||
device for the Icom digital cable is "/dev/ttyUSB0". If you have muliple
|
||||
USB devices on your system the device might end up somewhere else. Do "ls /dev"
|
||||
before and after plugging in your cable to figure out where it is. If it's
|
||||
not on /dev/ttyUSB0, uncomment the device line and put in the correct device.
|
||||
|
||||
6) You need a gwys.txt file for all the systems to which you may wish to link.
|
||||
If you want to be able to link to repeaters: ./get_gwy_list.sh
|
||||
If you are only interested in linking to reflectors: ./reflist.sh
|
||||
This will download and format your gwys.txt file. If the reflector(s) or
|
||||
repeater(s) you use most often are not present in the gwys.txt file, you can
|
||||
add them manually, using the same syntax as the existing entries, at the end
|
||||
of the file. If you find you can no longer connect to a system, it may be
|
||||
because its IP address has changed. You can execute either script again, copy
|
||||
it to /usr/local/etc, and then: either reboot you system, or put " F" in
|
||||
your URField and key your radio, or: sudo systemctl restart qnlink
|
||||
|
||||
7) Now it's time to get the Icom radio ready. Plug in the digital cable to the
|
||||
radio and use the approprite cable to connect to your hot-spot. Turn on the
|
||||
radio and press the menu key and go to the "DV Gateway" menu item and press
|
||||
the enter key and select either Access Point or Terminal mode. If you select
|
||||
Access point, adjust the frequency in the usual way.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Access Point mode, you'll probably want to turn down the
|
||||
volume and disable other audio prompts from the radio that is operating
|
||||
as an access point. Please refer to the Icom manual to do this.
|
||||
|
||||
8) We have a gwys.txt file and a qn.cfg in the build directory, so we are ready
|
||||
to install and start the three QnetGateway services: sudo make installitap
|
||||
|
||||
You should be up and running now! Congratulations! <Fireworks!>
|
||||
|
||||
9) You can see the log of any of the 3 services that make up the QnetGateway
|
||||
system:
|
||||
sudo journalctl -u qngateway -f
|
||||
sudo journalctl -u qnlink -f
|
||||
sudo journalctl -u qnitap -f
|
||||
|
||||
You can do all three of these in one terminal window (that you can detach from!)
|
||||
by using "screen": sudo apt-get install screen
|
||||
If you don't know how to use screen: http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
|
||||
Being able to detach from a screen session is very useful, especially if you are
|
||||
operating "headless"!
|
||||
|
||||
10) DTMF is _not_ enabled by default if you want it, you need to do two things:
|
||||
First, create a working DTMF script. In the build directory: cp qndtmf.sh qndtmf
|
||||
Then, install the DTMF service: sudo make installdtmf
|
||||
You should be good to go, The DTMF command "00" should announce the linked
|
||||
status of you module. See DTMF+REMOTE.README for more information.
