==== Registering as a bbserver ====

**Npemwin** can register itself as //public// BB server with the NW master
host. This should be used only if Npemwin is configured to read from a NWS
bytesblaster server or from a serial device.

However, two configuration settings must be made to enable this. The relevant
file is

  * bbserver.conf

and the settings are:

<code>
set bbserver(addrandport) "A0.0.0.0:2211";
</code>

where the correct ip and port should appear, and

<code>
set bbserver(configured) 0;
</code>

which should be set to 1. The default port 2211 is appropriate, but
the //0.0.0.0// must be replaced by the correct name or ip.

Two additional settings that should be revised are:

<code>
set bbserver(privacy) "SPU";    # or SPR for private
set bbserver(rate)    "DE9600"; # or DW for internet
</code>

No additional changes are strictly required.

To make it easier in the cases in which the ip changes dynamically,
the ip can be specified in the form

<code>
set bbserver(addrandport) "A/etc/myip:2211";
</code>

where %%/etc/myip%% is the full path of a file whose first line is your
external ip address. In this case a simple script can be configured to run
in the scheduler.conf file to get the ip (from a service such as
//dyndns// or //whatismyip//) and write it to that file.
