Re: Multiple Applications / Modes simultaneously running on the UDR56K-4

"John" <john@...>
 

Mark (KV4I) asks:

For example, can I run a Winlink 2000 RMS Gateway and a
D-RATs Ratflector simultaneously?


NW DIgital Radio will have a pre-packaged RMS Gateway for the UDR56K-4

We have not profiled running D-RATS Ratflector on the UDR56K-4.  It does require a fair amount of memory, so observation of it running in parallel with other applications is prudent. 

Installing D-RATS on the UDR56K-4 (as root or using sudo)

wget http://blog.anantshri.info/content/uploads/2010/09/add-apt-repository.sh.txt
cp add-apt-repository.sh.txt /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository
chmod +x /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install d-rats glade xterm twm

(You will also need to run an X-Window server on your GUI system, if you use Windows you can install xrdp on the UDR56K -- along with xterm, and use Remote Desktop -- running a GUI such as vncserver, X-Windows, etc. does add overhead to the radio's server -- daemons with web interfaces are more efficient and recommended.)

Hopefully this information will be helpful in your planning.  The D-RATS package can run the Internet server on the UDR56K-4 processor (untested but have successfully installed and executed it) = I have not tested it with an external radio (USB to D-STAR radio) yet.  We have not setup the UDR56K-4 radio for direct connection to D-RATS at this point.
