[SETUP]

;GATE_ALL_PORTS specifies the ports on which to output

;traffic from the stations you put in [INET_TO_RF] below.

;Separate multiple ports with commas. E.g. 1,2,3.

;

GATE_ALL_PORTS=1

;

;USE_DEFAULT_PATHS - If this is checked, then traffic

;output on GATE_ALL_PORTS is sent via the default unproto

;paths for those ports as configured in Station Setup.

;If it is not checked, then the unproto paths specified

;in GATE_ALL_PATHS are used.

;

USE_DEFAULT_PATHS=True

;

;GATE_ALL_PATHS - see USE_DEFAULT_PATHS above. If you

;specify more than one port in GATE_ALL_PORTS, then you

;can specify a different path for each port. You separate

;multiple paths with '|' (pipe) characters. E.g.

;RELAY,WIDE|WIDE3-3|WIDE,WIDE. Please note - The path does

;not include the destination address, because the

;destination address for gated traffic is always the

;address configured in the UI-View32 'APRS Compatibility'

;dialogue.

;

GATE_ALL_PATHS=""

;

;MAX_DIGIS_FOR_LOCAL specifies how many digis a frame

;can pass through and the sender still be regarded as a

;local station. The default of 0 means that only

;stations heard direct are regarded as local. You can

;effectively disable the checking by putting any number

;greater than eight, because no AX25 frame should ever

;pass through more than eight digis.

;

MAX_DIGIS_FOR_LOCAL=0

;

;NOGATE - If a frame has any of the digi aliases

;specified by NOGATE in its unproto path, then a UI-View

;IGATE will not pass it to the internet servers. This

;provides a mechanism for APRS users to stop their frames

;being gated to the internet via your IGATE.

;

NOGATE=NOGATE,RFONLY

;SHOW_INET_ENTRY_POINT_CALLSIGN - If this option is set

;to TRUE, then the IGATE's callsign is inserted in all

;frames passed to the internet servers. It is inserted

;as an extra digi, and is suffixed with the text specified

;in INET_ENTRY_POINT_TAG. Note - this option can be set

;via 'Insert station callsign' in the 'APRS Server Setup'

dialogue.

;

;An example:-

;G4IDE's IGATE hears this frame:-

; G8MZX>APRS,RELAY,WIDE*:>Some text

;

;If SHOW_INET_ENTRY_POINT_CALLSIGN is set to TRUE, the

;frame header is altered before the frame is passed to

;an internet server:-

; G8MZX>APRS,RELAY,WIDE*,G4IDE,I:>Some text

;(The 'I' is a symbolic digi address for the internet.)

;

;INET_ENTRY_POINT_TAG is made editable, because exactly

;how this feature should work is still being discussed by

;the various APRS authors.

;

SHOW_INET_ENTRY_POINT_CALLSIGN=FALSE

INET_ENTRY_POINT_TAG=,I

;

;GATE_LAN_TO_INET - If UI-View32 is being used as a local

;server, and it is also connected to an internet server,

;then setting GATE_LAN_TO_INET=TRUE allows traffic heard

;on the LAN to be gated to the internet. NOTE - unless

;you are sure you understand what this means, then keep

;the default setting of FALSE!

;

GATE_LAN_TO_INET=FALSE

;

;GATE_ALL_RF_TO_INET - By default UI-View32 only gates

;APRS packets from RF to the internet, and it does not

;gate digipeated copies of your own packets. If you check

;this option then -

; 1. Non-APRS frames are gated.

; 2. Digipeated copies of your own packets are gated.

;This option is designed to be used when an IGATE is on a

;satellite RF frequency. It is recommended that you do not

;select this option for a normal IGATE.

;

GATE_ALL_RF_TO_INET=FALSE

[CONVERT_PNTS] - There is a system used in Japan called NAVITRA that sends information in $PNTS frames. UI-View32 understands the $PNTS posit frames, and can optionally convert them to normal APRS format when they are gated. This section allows you to say whether you want to convert them.

[CONVERT_PNTS]

;The following determine whether $PNTS format posits (used

;in Japan) are converted to APRS format when they are gated.

INET_TO_RF=FALSE

RF_TO_INET=FALSE

[INET_TO_RF] - You use this section to specify callsigns that will have all their traffic, not just messages for local stations, gatewayed from the internet to RF. You can also use it to specify callsigns that will never have any traffic gatewayed. NOTE - think at least twice about what traffic you gate to RF! If you misuse this feature, then you will make yourself very unpopular with the local APRS community! The following are the comments from IGATE.INI:-

[INET_TO_RF]

;In this section you can specify callsigns that will

;have all their traffic gated, callsigns that will have

;their position beacons but not messages gated, and

;callsigns that will never have any traffic gated.

;You can use '*' to mean anything, so "G4*" means any

;callsign starting with "G4". NOTE - use this feature

;with caution, or you may generate an awful lot of

;traffic on RF!

;

;Examples:-

;G4IDE=ALL means gate all traffic from G4IDE.

;G8MZX=NONE means gate no traffic from G8MZX.

;G4GZL=BEACONS means gate beacons but not messages

; from G4GZL.

;G4*=ALL means gate all traffic from callsigns

; starting with "G4".

;ABC*=OBJECT means gate objects with names starting

; with "ABC".

[INET_TO_RF_LIMITS] - This sections is used to specify limits on the number of frames your system will gate from the internet to RF. Limits are specified for the maximum number of frames that will ever be gated in one minute, two minute and three minute periods. There are two sets of limits, one for all frames except messages for local stations, and one for messages for local stations. When you connect to an internet server, six green indicators will appear at the top of the map window. The top row is for frames other than local messages, the bottom row is for local messages. In each row one indicator is for each time period. They will turn red if the limit for a time period is exceeded. The Statistics window shows how many frames your system has gated, and how many have been dropped because the limits were exceeded.

The following are the comments from IGATE.INI:-

[INET_TO_RF_LIMITS]

;In this section you can specify limits for the number

;of frames that your system will gate from the internet

;to RF. The idea is that it will stop your system

;hogging the RF channel.

;

;You specify the maximum number of frames that will

;ever be gated in a one minute, two minute and three

;minute period. Once any of these numbers are exceeded,

;frames are discarded until the rate drops back below

;the limit. The default values allow a short term peak,

;but a lower rate over a longer period.

;

;PLEASE NOTE - The capacity of a 1200 baud RF channel

;is around 30 frames a minute (obviously it depends on

;frame length, TXD settings, etc). To gate 6 frames in

;a minute means that you are taking up around 20% of

;the channel capacity, and that's not allowing for your

;frames being digipeated! So before you increase these

;numbers, please bear in mind that many APRS experts

;would say that the defaults are too high. You should

;always try to use values that are appropriate for

;local conditions.

;

;If you wish to disable the limits, you can put a '0'

;for all three values, but PLEASE don't disable the

;limits without first thinking very carefully about

;what you are doing and why you are doing it!

;

;The first three values apply to frames other than

;messages to local stations - i.e. frames that are

;gated as a result of entries in the [INET_TO_RF]

;section of this file.

;

ONE_MINUTE=6

TWO_MINUTES=9

THREE_MINUTES=12

;

;The next three values apply to messages to local

;stations. (A local station is one that your system has

;heard on RF.) These limits are really only guarding

;against abuse, and so can be more generous.

LOCAL_MESSAGE_ONE_MINUTE=8

LOCAL_MESSAGE_TWO_MINUTES=12

LOCAL_MESSAGE_THREE_MINUTES=16
