javAPRSSrvr 3.5 and above supports an IGate adjunct application.
This can be any application, but the primary use foreseen is for it to be used
for an IGate between RF and APRS-IS. The interface used between javAPRSSrvr and the
IGate adjunct is
IGateInterface.java This interface is open to anyone who
wishes to write an IGate adjunct capability to javAPRSSrvr.
javAPRSIGate Features:
javAPRSIGate has been written to this interface providing full gate
capabilities with a simplified TNC interface to make porting to different
platforms simpler than in the past. Currently there are interfaces for
KipSS, AGWPE, Linux kernel ax25, and direct connect KISS TNC's in Windows,
Linux, and other operating systems.
- Gate based on receiving station's digi hop count from the IGate.
- Gate based on callsign.
- Gate based on object/item name.
- Prevent gating to RF when the receiving station has been heard directly
on APRS-IS.
- Prevent gating to RF when both stations are in RF range.
- Special paths based on callsign or prefix.
javAPRSDigi is a full featured AX.25 digi supporting the No-Source Routing
algorithm. It is an adjunct to javAPRSIGate and goes between the TNC interface and
javAPRSIGate.
Other IGateAdjuncts include javAPRSQRZ (callsign lookup), javAPRSEmail
(APRS email interface), and javAPRSCQ (CQ server). More information on using these can be found
at the APRS-IS web site.
