==About AMB-UX==
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].

==Configuration==

===Suse===
In Suse the configuration is in Yast.

===Other Linux Distros===
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.

Copy the  file rc.amb-ux, that comes in the source code package, as the super user to:

 /etc/init.d/amb-uxd

Under Ubuntu if you open a terminal where the rc.amb-ux file is you could do this with the command:
 
 sudo cp rc.amb-ux /etc/init.d/amb-uxd

and make it executable with 

 sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/amb-uxd

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:

 sudo update-rc.d amb-uxd defaults

should get that setup nicely.
