==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].

==Where to download==
It can be downloaded at the [http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/amb-ux/ rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs] site.

==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.

==Frequently Asked Questions about the AMB-UX software==

'''Q:''' How do I rename files with the AMB-UX software?

'''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
man date
at a prompt.

'''Q:''' How do I get to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the AMB-UX software?

'''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.
