- To start dixprs execute this command.
/usr/local/dixprs/dixprs.py -c /usr/local/dixprs/config.txt
You should see an output like this:
*** DIXPRS 2.2.2 – 05-09-2012 – (pid=2008)
*** AIR0 process started [No description] (pid=2011))
*** IGATE process started [host=rotate.aprs2.net, port=14580] (pid=2012)

Now that dixprs is running you should be able to see your i-gate at aprs.fi. You should also see the APRS data coming in your radio if it is connected and TNC-PI is receiving APRS packets.
