This software can be used to interface to the [http://www.amb-os.com AMB-OS] satellite receiver. AMB-OS is a a Satellite-delivered File Transfer (SFT) platform where the file is transmitted once and captured on the receiver end. Amb-OS Media has developed a transmission platform which eliminates some of the redundancies, improves reliability and maintains high fidelity by preserving audio files in their digital form. More details about AMB-OS can be found on [http://www.amb-os.com their website].<br />

==Where to download==<br />
It can be downloaded at the [http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/amb-ux/ rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs] site.<br />
<br />
==Configuration==<br />
<br />
===Suse===<br />
In Suse the configuration is in Yast.<br />
<br />
===Other Linux Distros===<br />
Other Linux distributions look to edit /etc/amb-ux.conf and replace the default values with the ones for your AMB-OS receiver. I think that you will also need to manually setup the AMB-UX daemon startup script.<br />
<br />
Copy the file rc.amb-ux, that comes in the source code package, as the super user to:<br />
<br />
/etc/init.d/amb-uxd<br />
<br />
Under Ubuntu if you open a terminal where the rc.amb-ux file is you could do this with the command:<br />
<br />
sudo cp rc.amb-ux /etc/init.d/amb-uxd<br />
<br />
and make it executable with <br />
<br />
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/amb-uxd<br />
<br />
You will also need to setup the run levels that the AMB-UX daemon will be started and stop on using the update-rc.d command. On an Ubuntu computer:<br />
<br />
sudo update-rc.d amb-uxd defaults<br />
<br />
should get that setup nicely.<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions about the AMB-UX software==<br />
<br />
'''Q:''' How do I rename files with the AMB-UX software?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' There's no need to manually rename the files in the amb-ux target directory. Just use the appropriate date variables in the file name in the RDCatch download event. For a list of date variables, open a shell and enter <br />
man date<br />
at a prompt.<br />
<br />
'''Q:''' How do I get to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the AMB-UX software?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' The amb-ux utility does not have a GUI. It simply maintains a mirror of the files available on the amb-os receiver in a local directory.<br />
