TCP interface configuration error

[jpspoo...@gmail.com]

I am trying to add an additional interface to a well-working Igate/digipeater configuraion.

I am trying to transport packets received by an sdr on computer A to computer B using the aprx TCP KISS interface. Aprx runs on computer B. I get the following debug output when run from the command line (I have highlighted the errors).

aprx -d -f /etc/aprx.conf

The configuration file is (with the additional interface highlighted):

What is wrong with the new config file?

I think callsign should be unique per interface.

Try to assing:   callsign NX2I-12 on your new added interface

<interface>
   tcp-device 192.168.1.153 8001 KISS

Callsign   NX2I-12

   tx-ok true
</interface> 

 

if this do not work, modify the one written in the line 22 of your config file
