/etc/ax25/axports<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The axports file configures the link between an AX.25 interface and the callsign it's working for. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
# /etc/ax25/axports<br />
#<br />
# The format of this file is:<br />
#<br />
# name callsign speed paclen window description<br />
#<br />
sm0 VK2HAQ-1 1200 255 7 VHF APRS (1200 bps)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
The first column [name] (here 'sm0', without /dev/) needs to match the system's interface name:<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
root@aprs:/etc# ifconfig sm0<br />
sm0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr VK2HAQ-1<br />
inet addr:44.128.0.2 Bcast:44.128.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0<br />
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:256 Metric:1<br />
RX packets:113 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br />
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br />
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10<br />
RX bytes:8662 (8.4 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)<br />
<br />
root@aprs:/etc#<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The second column [callsign] (here 'VK2HAQ-1') needs to match the '$mycall' variable in /etc/aprx.conf:<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<interface><br />
ax25-device $mycall<br />
tx-ok false # transmitter enable defaults to false<br />
#telem-to-is false # set to 'false' to disable<br />
</interface><br />
</pre></div>
