Using IP as the main protocol to connect transmitters and the DAPNET-Nodes, this direction of connection establishment was inverted. Incoming connections are in some cases a problem with IP: Think of transmitters connected via UMTS or restrictive internet access point, where incoming port forwarding is not possible. | Using IP as the main protocol to connect transmitters and the DAPNET-Nodes, this direction of connection establishment was inverted.

So in DAPNET, the transmitter connects itself to the node. As the software of the old RPC transmitters should not be changed, DAPNET-Proxy was born. | So in DAPNET, the transmitter connects itself to the node.

The software can be downloaded from github [[https://github.com/rwth-afu/raspager-proxy|https://github.com/rwth-afu/raspager-proxy]]. The readme on github is written very good, so we don't repeat here its content. The main idea of the proxy is to establish in both directions a connection to the DAPNET node emulating a UniPager transmitter and on the other side conneting via TCP and xinet.d towards an old AX.25 transmitter emulating a Funkrufmaster software. | The software can be downloaded from github [[https://github.com/rwth-afu/raspager-proxy|https://github.com/rwth-afu/raspager-proxy]].

There is a keep-alive functions implemented towards the AX.25-transmitter. So the DAPNET-Node will be notified, if the AX.25 connection is not alive any more. | There is a keep-alive functions implemented towards the AX.25-transmitter.
