2. Installing the software

- -

Ensure that your CVS session or your unZIPped file have left you -with a directory "C:\spider\local"; if not, go to "C:\spider\" -and create one. If "C:\spider" is missing, go back and figure out -why, because it shouldn't be. -

Now create your own local copy of the DXVars.pm file by:- -

-

-
-copy c:\spider\perl\DXVars.pm.issue
-c:\spider\local\DXVars.pm
-
-
-

Now you'll need to edit this file using a text editor. If nothing -else, you can simply -

-

-
-cd \spider\local
-
-
-

and then -

-

-
-notepad DXVars.pm
-
-
-

to bring up an editor window containing the file. As an absolute -minimum you must adjust the following items in DXVars.pm:- -

-

-

You really also ought to update the $mylatitude, $mylongitude, -$myqth and $myemail variables. And unless you are absolutely -certain you know what you're doing, you should change nothing -else in this file. -

-

2.1 The AGW packet engine -

- -

On the assumption that you'll be using the SV2AGW Packet Engine -to interface your radios to the cluster, you should now create -your own local copy of AGWConnect.pm by:- -

-

-
-copy c:\spider\perl\AGWConnect.pm
-c:\spider\local\AGWConnect.pm
-
-
-

and then -

-

-
-notepad AGWConnect.pm
-
-
-

to bring up an editor window containing the file. You must -consider adjusting the following items in AGWConnect.pm:- -

-

-

-

2.2 Setting up the initial user files -

- -

Next you need to create the initial user files, etc. A tool is -supplied which will do this for you. To run the tool:- -

-

-
-cd \spider\perl
-perl create_sysop.pl
-
-
-

If all goes according to plan, you will see no output from this -program, and after a brief wait, your DOS prompt will be -returned. -

Depending on how brave you are, you might now care to try the -following:- -

-

-
-perl cluster.pl
-
-
-

If you did everything you were told, your DOS window will now -hold a display which looks something like:- -

-

-
-

Now, if that's what you've got, you are very nearly home and dry -(in as far as these particular experiments are concerned, anyhow) -

To access your new cluster (from the local machine) find yourself another -"DOS box" and do the following:- -

-

-
-cd \spider\perl
-perl winclient.pl
-
-
-

If you are rewarded with a display which looks something like:- -

-

-
-Hello Iain, this is GB7SJP in Amersham, Bucks running DXSpider V1.47
-Cluster: 1 nodes, 1 local / 1 total users Max users 2 Uptime 0 00:00
-M0ADI de GB7SJP 4-Mar-2001 1511Z >
-
-
-

You've arrived. Try some commands, and see how they feel. (In -case you were wondering, "Iain", "M0ADI" and "GB7SJP" all came -from the version of DXVars.pm that was on the machine when I -started the winclient.pl) -

-

2.3 Incoming telnets -

- -

If you want to enable inbound "TELNET" connections, you've got a -little more work to do. From a handy "DOS box" that's not doing -anything else, do the following:- -

-

-
-copy \spider\perl\listeners.pm \spider\local
-cd \spider\local
-notepad listeners.pm
-
-
-

The following lines need attention:- -

-

-
-["0.0.0.0", 7300],
-
-
-

On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "0.0.0.0" entry by -removing the '#' from the front of the line. -

If you don't have a static hostname for your machine, and you -intend to allow folk to connect to your machine across the -internet, then I'd suggest you pay a visit to www.dyndns.org and -create one for yourself. While it's free, it will take a modest -an amount of effort on your part to read, understand and -implement what needs to be done to set this up. -

-

2.4 Connecting to other clusters -

- -

If you want to connect this to another cluster, then you'll want -to negotiate a link with someone. For experimental purposes, I'm -happy to allow folk to connect to GB7DXA (spud.ath.cx), on the -understanding that the system may or may not be there and may or -may not be connected to anything particularly useful at any given -moment. Contact me by Email if you want me to set up a connection -for you. -
