XSERVER32:
XServer is a BBS generated by Paula G8PZT. This software is still only 16bit and executes under DOS only. The group are awaiting Paula to convert this software to run under Windows 32 bit. Ie WinXP.
XR32 Manual:
This new XR manual is based on the old 16 bit manual, it is being updated [live] by the new 32 bit enhancements.
To download a Microsoft Word copy from here – XR32 Manual.
Paula G8PZT has had a new inspiration and is generating a
32 bit version of her 16 bit XRouter. This page is on
the testing of the new XR32.
As of the 28th of June 2011, XR32 is in Alpha testing mode.
Coordination of testing is being conducted through VK2DOT; If you become a
tester, please send your results to VK2DOT and we will forward a test file to
you.
Paula wrote the following on Wednesday the 27th of July
2011 -
Hmm not quite "out", but being alpha tested. I
hadn't announced it formally in the group because I want to write code, not get
deluged with newbie questions ;-)
XR32 is a win32 "console application", not a GUI
application. It's almost exactly the same as running the DOS version in a
command window, except that
• It CAN share the Windows Ethernet
card
• It CAN use USB COM ports.
• It DOESN'T eat CPU
• It CAN'T (yet) drive SCC cards
I won't be adding any GUI support whatsoever. XR32 will
stay a pure console app, because (a) there is a GUI version coming soon, (b) at
this stage I want to concentrate on interfacing to packet hardware, not get
distracted with GUI frippery, and (c) it's nice and
familiar to DOS XRouter users.
The GUI version has been around since 2006, but I never
felt happy with the layout of the sysop interface (I'm a perfectionist!) and
there were stability issues associated with the GUI. Plus my friend Anthony
Martin M1FDE who was writing the drivers for me died, so I put the project on
ice. I was recently persuaded to take the KISS approach and make a console
version, hence XR32.
I hope to get the full WinXrouter
sorted over the next few months. In the meantime XR32 (which is actually the
GUI version with the GUI disabled), will act as a stable stop-gap.
I hope that clarifies the situation somewhat. If you're
interested in giving it a try, Rod has the latest XR32.EXE file and the
Ethernet driver package, and has put together some instructions I think. I've
had no time to write documentation, but XR32 is pretty easy to get going.
4th July 2012 – Paula sent a
upgrade of XR32. The new XR32 contains a new XRouter.cfg
command – ROWS=##, where ## represents a number [of rows for XR32 screen]. The
default is 25. It has been tested to 90 rows.

SETUP GUIDE for
PMS for XR32:
PMS for XR32 is very straightforward – Just change the following to your callsign, within xrouter.cfg file, etc the following –
• PMSCALL=VK2DOT-6
• PMSALIAS=DOTPMS
• PMSQUAL=200
You then may connect to the PMS by connecting to XR32, then typing PMS – or externally doing a C port PMSCALL or C PMSALIAS.
NOTE: Callsign and alias of integral PMS. If you define neither, the PMS will only be accessible using the "PMS" command.
PMS quality to include in Netrom nodes broadcast. Set this to 0 to suppress L4 visibility. You may only use a non-zero value, if both PMSCALL and PMSALIAS are defined.
Most sysops will not need to run the XR32 PMS, for you are running a full blown BBS with your XR32 Node.
SETUP GUIDE for XR32 using SeaMonkey for EMAIL Generation: by Mike VE3UIL
NDISXPKT:
NDISXPKT allows
XR32 to share the windows Ethernet card, with its own IP address, completely independent
of Windows. This means that XR32 can do EVERYTHING - full IP routing, IPEncap and so on. Ie. Your PC has its own IP
address for windows [eg 192.168.1.2]; But your XR32,
by using NDISXPKT has a separate IP
address [eg 192.168.1.3] on the same machine.
Without NDISXPKT,
XR32 has to jump through hoops to access the Ethernet via Windows's IP stack,
and such use is severely crippled by the restrictions imposed by Windows. However,
for most purposes, no-one would notice. XR32 is still able to ping and telnet,
do AXUDP and so on, but isn't allowed to act as an IP router via the Ethernet
(this doesn't affect IP over radio or IP over AXUDP links though).
Without NDISXPKT xr32 cannot do: IPEncap protocol 4 or Routing of raw (unencapsulated) datagrams between RF and Ethernet.
NOTE: VK2DOT used to run NDISXPKT, but does not anymore. If you are running the Windows 7 or 8 operating systems, do not run NDISXPKT. If you have a valid reason to run NDISXPKT – Please advise VK2DOT, so we can incorporate into this document.

COMPLETE SETUP
GUIDE for WinXP & Win2000:
- Install operating system onto PC. MicroXP, TinyXP, Windows XP or Windows 2000 are the only operating systems to be used with XR32. My recommendations would be to use TinyXP Version 11. TinyXP allows you to use old slow [150Mhz] computers, with small amount of memory [128Mb]. If you are using an old Laptop to run XR32 as a Remote Node it is recommended that you install MicroXP.
TinyXP iso or MicroXP
should be available on the internet – try to Google it.
· Setup Ethernet IP address on PC within Ethernet “Local Area Connections Properties” window. [ eg 192.168.1.3]
- The following Files are used for the following –
Files are available here for BPQ32. [Note the INDISTXPKT files are for WinXP, Win2000 are under Win2000]
- Make directory C:\HOLD
- Download from LAN or USB memory stick to C:\HOLD –
Total Commander
startdelay_v2.5b138.exe
- Install Total Commander onto PC.
- Install startdelay_v2.5b138.exe onto PC.
- Make a XR32 directory – eg C:\XR32
- Place the following files from the Files section above, into C:\XR32
XR32.EXE
IPROUTE.SYS
ACCESS.SYS
PASSWORD.SYS
XROUTER.CFG
NDISXPKT [Directory]
HELP [Directory]
- Install NDISXPKT. Click on green for instructions.
- Edit file XR32.CFG in directory - C:\XR32
Replace VK2DOT with your callsign.
Replace DOTXR3 with your Netrom Alias.
Replace Niagara Park with your address.
Replace XR32 IP Address 192.168.1.6 with your own IP address for XR32. [look under INTERFACE=12]. This IP address must be different to the Windows XP Ethernet address you ave used above.
In a DOS Window – type ROUTE PRINT – This will display your MAC address for your XR32 machine,
Replace ETHADDR=00:02:a5:00:c8:ba with MAC address displayed.
Add or remove Ports as desired.
Add or remove COMMANDS as desired.
- Go to a DOS screen and type ROUTE PRINT
- Place the MAC address from above into the Ethernet Address -
;--------------------------------------
; Ethernet Interface
;--------------------------------------
;
INTERFACE=12
TYPE=EXTERNAL
ID=Ethernet LAN
PROTOCOL=ETHER
MTU=1064
ETHADDR=00:08:02:1e:79:c7
ENDINTERFACE
;
;--------------------------------------
- Select a LAN IP address which is not being used on your LAN. [ eg 192.168.1.6]
;--------------------------------------
PORT=12;
ID=Ethernet LAN
INTERFACENUM=12
IPADDRESS=192.168.1.6
PACLEN=240
FRACK=5000
MAXFRAME=4
MHEARD=2
RFBAUDS=128000
DYNDNS=1
ENDPORT
;
;--------------------------------------
- Setup startdelay as follows –
- This should result as an example -
XR32 machine = 192.168.1.3
XR32 program = 192.168.1.6
XR32 = DOTXR3:VK2DOT-6
NOTE: We have removed SAVER, WATCHDOG, WATCHADDR and CTRLADDR from XRouter.cfg.

;
ROWS=44
;
;============================================================
; Station Identification:
;============================================================
;
; Node callsign:
Up to 6 chars plus optional SSID between 1 and 15
; This is the callsign
used for all L3/4 operations, and the default
; for L2
operations on each port.
;
NODECALL=VK2AAL
;
; Node alias: Up to 6 characters.
; Aliases beginning with
"#" are not displayed in node lists, and
; are typically used for
"linking only" nodes.
; You should preferably choose an
alias which is geographically
; relevant
beyond your own local area, for example BRSTOL, LEEDS,
; or BRUM
are good, because users can recognise them in node tables,
; whereas
GAB1 and WBA are bad - where on earth are they?
;
NODEALIAS=AALXR
;
; Callsign
for APRS IGATE (optional).
; This callsign
is used by the Igate to identify itself in beacons
; and third
party messages. If omitted, it defaults
to Nodecall.
;
;
APRSCALL=MB7Uxx
;
; Callsign
for console operations. You can set this
independantly
; of
NODECALL or you may set them the same.
You may at any time
; override this callsign
using the "linked as" command.
;
CONSOLECALL=VK2AAL
;
; IP address for IP routing. Your local IP co-ordinator should
; be able to assign you one. If you aren't routing IP (shame on
; you!) comment
this out or set it to 0.0.0.0
; The router normally uses a single
IP address for all ports, but
; you may
specify additional addresses for each port.
; (If you are routing, remember to
define routes and hostnames in
; IPROUTE.SYS and DOMAIN.SYS
respectively)
;
IPADDRESS=192.168.1.7
;IPADDRESS=44.147.38.42
;
;
IP address of primary Domain
Name Server, which will be consulted
; when
trying to resolve hostnames which aren't in DOMAIN.SYS
; If not specified, resolution will
use DOMAIN.SYS only.
;
DNS=192.168.1.1
;
; Domain suffix. During name
resolution, this is appended to any
; domain
name which contains no dots. The default is ampr.org.
;
;
DOMAIN=ampr.org.
;
; Host name for TCP (optional). If you omit this, it will default
; to
"NODEALIAS:NODECALL".
;
HOSTNAME=vk2aal.ampr.org
;
;============================================================
;
Chat Server parameters:
;============================================================
;
Note - the chat server is an
integral part of the system and
; cannot be disabled. You may prevent it from being directly
; connectible
(if you wish to deprive users of facilities) by
; setting CHATCALL and CHATALIAS the
same as NODECALL and
; NODEALIAS, but it will still be
available to all users via
; the
"chat" command.
;
; Chat server callsign.
This may be the same as the nodecall, but
; must use a different SSID, otherwise the
chat server will not
; be directly conectible.
;
CHATCALL=VK2AAL-8
;
; Alias for chat server (6 chars
max). I suggest this should end
; with
"CHT" and begin with something geographically relevant,
; e.g. BHMCHT for
Birmingham, LDSCHT for Leeds etc., so it can be
; easily
identified in node tables. If you specify the NODEALIAS
; here, the
chat server will not be directly connectible.
;
CHATALIAS=AALCHT
;
; List of chat servers to which this
server will link. You must
; supply the *callsigns* not the aliases.
Unilateral links are not
; allowed - each partner in this list must
place your CHATCALL in
; their CHATLINKS
list. You may only use partners who are
in your
; node
tables. PZT chat servers may be
interconnected with each
; other, but
*NOT* with "Ping-Pong Converse" servers. Don't link
; with distant
servers - if the links are too slow your users will
; get poor service. You may disable all
outgoing and incoming
; linking by omitting this line (or
commenting it out).
;
CHATLINKS=VK2DOT-8
;
; Chatcall
quality to broadcast. This can be used
to limit the
; visibility of
your server to a reasonable geographical area,
; and discourage
chat server "dxing". Default is 255, i.e.
chat
; call is
visible over same distance as nodecall.
;
CHATQUAL=196
;
;============================================================
; PMS
;============================================================
; Callsign
and alias of integral PMS. If you define
neither, the
; PMS will only be accessible using
the "PMS" command.
;
;PMSCALL=VK2AAL-2
;
;PMSALIAS=AKXRPMS
;
; PMS quality to include in Netrom nodes broadcast.
; Set this to 0 to suppress L4
visibility.
; You may only use a non-zero value,
if both PMSCALL and PMSALIAS
; are defined.
;
;PMSQUAL=50
;
; Station location (32 chars max).
;
;==========================================================================
;
QTH=Barrick Point
;
; IGATE controls whether or not the
APRS Packet<>internet gateway
; is started at boot-up. A zero
value (default) doesn't start the
; igate (but it can be started anytime using
"start igate"), and
; a
non-zero value starts it immediately.
; Leave this commented out, or set
to zero if you aren't running
; a
gateway.
;
;
IGATE=1
;
; Optional Software Watchdog. If you set a non-zero value here,
; the
router will attempt to reboot if the code goes into an
; endless
loop. The value is in seconds. Note: the watchdog
; keeps
running if you shell to DOS using Alt-F9, so keep shell
; sessions
short or the router will think you've forgotten to
; return and will reboot!
;
WATCHDOG=120
;
; Address (hex) of parallel port
used to drive hardware watchdog.
; If you set a valid address here,
the least significant data bit
; of the
port will be toggled several times per second if the router
; is working correctly. You can use external circuitry to detect
; if the
output stops toggling for more than a few seconds, and use
; it to
reboot the computer. Note that your
circuit must look for
; an AC
signal, because the output could lock up high or low if
; the
computer crashes.
;
;
WATCHADDR=378
;
; Address (hex) of parallel port
used for controlling / monitoring
; external
hardware. If this is the same as
WATCHADDR, only the
; most
significant 7 bits will be available for control if the
; hardware
watchdog is enabled.
;
;
CTRLADDR=378
;
; IPTTL overrides the default
"Time To Live" (TTL) of 255. This
; is the maximum number of hops an
IP datagram can make before it
; is killed. A low value ensures that datagrams stuck in
routing
; loops
will die quickly, but be aware that internet-routed packets
; may easily make 20 or 30 hops, so
don't set it too low. Ignore
; this if
you haven't enabled IP routing.

IPTTL=100

Interface definitions - These MUST come before any port definitions
;============================================================
;
; Unlike BPQ, you first define the
interfaces with the outside world,
; then you
define the ports that use those interfaces.
This is
; because
some interfaces (e.g. ASYNC) can support several channels
; by use of
the appropriate protocol (e.g. KISS).
; Each interface has a number by
which the ports identify it. With
; this
method you may easily switch a whole group of ports onto a
; different
com port if you get a hardware breakdown for example.
;
; TYPE: ASYNC ;
Serial port
; LOOPBACK ; For test
purposes
; EXTERNAL ; User supplied driver (as BPQ)
; BAYCOM ; Baycom USCC card.
; RLC100 ; Thorcom
RLC100 scc card.
; DRSI ; DRSI scc card
; PC100 ; Pac-comm
PC100/120 scc card
; PC120 ; 4 port PC100 scc card.
; PA0HZP ; PA0HZP opto-scc
card
; AXIP ; For AX25 over IP wormhole
; AXUDP ; For AX25 over UDP wormhole
; INTERNAL ; For HDLC applications.
; ITACARD ; Yet another SCC
card.
; YAM ; YAM 1200/2400/9600 modem
;
; COM: For ASYNC interfaces, this is the Com number (1 -
16)
; For
SCC cards, you may use COM=1 etc. instead of
; CHANNEL=A
etc.
;
; CHANNEL For SCC cards only!
This is the physical channel
; or port on the card (A, B, C or D). You may use
; CHANNEL=A
etc. or COM=1 etc. but not both.
;
; (For ASYNC interfaces, ioaddr and intnum are optional
for com 1 - 4)
; (For SCC cards, use same IOADDR
and INTNUM for all channels on card)
; IOADDR IO device address (hex)
; INTNUM Interrupt number (decimal)
;
; SPEED The serial port baud rate for ASYNC interfaces, or
; the radio baud rate for HDLC cards.
; 50-115200
bauds (Decimal). Don't include a comma.
; If
set to zero (HDLC cards only), the modem must
; supply
a x1 clock (TXC on RTXC pin, RXC on TRXC pin).
;
;
; PROTOCOL: Protocol to use on the interface:
; NONE - Use this with type=loopback
; ASCII - Remote consoles (TTY) via ASYNC ports
; SLIP - For TCP/IP over RS232
; PPP - For TCP/IP over RS232
; KISS - For driving KISS TNCs or wired links.
; MODEM - Hayes compatible PSTN modem.
; NETROM - Netrom
backend serial link.
; ETHER - Ethernet (requires ETHDRV.EXE)
; TNC2 - TNC2 Emulation.
; HDLC - For use with SCC cards, YAM modem,
; INTERNAL
interfaces, and some EXTERNAL
; drivers.
;
; KISSOPTIONS: Options for KISS interfaces only...
; NONE - Plain KISS (most TNC's use this) (default)
; POLLED - For TNCs which send only when
polled.
; CHECKSUM
- Packets protected by checksum. You can
; only use this
option if your TNC supports it.
; ACKMODE -
For TNC's which inform the router when a
; frame has been
transmitted on air.
; SLAVE - Router will act like a polled KISS TNC,
; sending only when commanded to do so.
; (Polled and slave are mutually exclusive)
; (BPQKISS
eproms require POLLED and CHECKSUM, and
; their
use of ackmode is optional)
;
; FLOW: Flow control options (ASYNC interfaces only):
; 0 =
No flow control
; 1 =
Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control
; 2 =
Software (XON/XOFF) flow control (TTY link only)
; 3 =
Hardware AND software flow control
; If
not specified, flow control defaults to NONE.
; Don't
use any flow control with KISS.
;
; MTU: Specifies largest IP packet. Setting this over 256
; will
crash most BPQ nodes, or at the very least cause
; the packet to be lost.
; The
router can handle single frames up to 1500 bytes,
; but BPQKISS TNC's are limited by 340 byte buffers.
; Received
IP datagrams larger than MTU are
; fragmented
to suit the outgoing link MTU.
;
; Each interface definition starts
with INTERFACE= and ends with
; ENDINTERFACE. The number following INTERFACE= is merely a
label
; allowing ports to refer to the
interface. It must be specified,
; but the numbers
themselves, and the order in which they're defined
; are not important.

Port definitions. Each one begins with PORT=n and ends with ENDPORT
;
============================================================
;
; The number following PORT= is the
port number as displayed by
; the
P[orts] command. They do not need to be sequential, you
; may use any number, but you must
define them in the order in
; which
they are to appear in the list.
;
;PORT=1
;
; Text string to identify port on

;
; ID=Link to KIDDER
;
; Interfacenum
specifies which interface this port should use.

keyup delay (millisecs)
; TXTAIL=100 ; TX keydown delay (millisecs)
; ;
Don't go less than 100 for SCC cards!
; SLOTTIME=100 ; (millisecs)
;
; I strongly recommend frack=7000
for 1200 bauds. (see manual)
;
; FRACK=7000 ; L2 T1 time (millisecs)
;
; Resptime
should be *at least* ((paclen * 10000) / RFbauds) millisecs,
; where
"paclen" is the other end's paclen, otherwise you will send
; unnecessary
poll frames. 1500 is OK for 1200 bauds with paclen=120
;
; RESPTIME=1500 ; L2 delayed ack
T2 (millisecs)
;
; Persist should be set to (255 /
(no. of users on frequency)).
; e.g. for
a frequency with an average of 10 users on at any one
; time
you'd set it to 25. Default is 64.
;
; PERSIST=64 ; Probability to transmit (0-255)
;
; I can't see any point in setting
retries more than 10, other than
; for test
purposes. If you need so many retries
it's a useless
; link and
you're just wasting everyone elses airtime. The higher
; you set
this value, the longer users will have to wait to get
; a
"failure with" for a non-contactable destination.
;
; RETRIES=10
;
; If you set fulldup=1,
the router will transmit whenever it needs
; to,
without waiting for the other end to stop.
Used only for
; hardware
which is capable of simultaneous transmission and
; reception,
such as full duplex radio or wire links.
;
; FULLDUP=0 ; 1 = Full duplex, 0 = simplex/half duplex
;
; Softdcd
is used only by SCC cards. If set to
non-zero, the real
; dcd will
be ignored, and the driver will use the presence of
; hdlc data as a DCD indication. Using SOFTDCD with an open squelch
; generates a *huge* interrupt
loading on the PC, which may cause
; degradation
of performance, depending on the PC type, so I don't
; recommend it.
;
; SOFTDCD=0
;
; Rfbauds
defaults to 1200 if not specified. It is
intended for use
; with
"real" tnc's attached via RS232, because
the RF baud rate is
; usually
different to the serial baud rate. It
simply helps the

make timing decisions.
;
; RFBAUDS=2400

;
; MHFLAGS controls which callsigns are recorded in the MH list,

;
; 1 Show directly heard stations
; 2 Show directly heard digipeaters
; 4 Show digipeated
stations
;
; MHFLAGS=1 ; show directly heard stations only
;
; Digipeat
flag for this port. 0 = no digipeat. Default=7

; List of destinations for
"broadcasting".
; Received non-digipeater
UI frames, addressed to one of these

list. This would for example be
; used to broadcast mail beacons

;
; BCAST=MAIL,ALL
;
; List of approved broadcasters.
; If you wish to restrict the

;
; BCFROM=GB7PZT,GB7MAX
;
; Default quality for nodes whose
broadcasts are received on this

to 0 to disable all L3/4 activity on this port.
A value
; between
256 and 511 enables automatic quality starting at qual-256.
;
; QUALITY=10
;
; Minimum quality to add to node
table for nodes received via this
; port. If specified, this overrides the global minqual, and can
; be used to exclude unreachable and
marginal nodes.
;
; MINQUAL=10
;
; Minimum node quality to include in

; would typically use this to limit
the number of nodes broadcast
; to a
neighbour with limited storage capability.
;
; MINTXQUAL=120
;
; Default maximum trip time for all
neighbour routes learned on this
; port. Can
be overridden by locked in route.
; If not specified, defaults to

;
; MAXHOPS=5
;
; Port to transmit on. 0=this
port. You would typically use this
; where a
single transmitter is used in conjunction with several
; receivers
;
; TXPORT=0
;
; Interlock is only used by SCC
cards - KISS TNC's make their own
; decisions when to transmit, and
the router has no control over
; that
process. If a non-zero value is
specified, no two ports
; with the
same value will transmit at the same time.
;
; INTERLOCK=4
;
; Maximum no. of simultaneous users
on this port. Default is 255
; which
means "no limit".

; USERS=255
;
; Sesslimit
specifies the maximum simultaneous connects each user
; is allowed. You may wish to set a low value if you are a
; control
freak.
;
; SESSLIMIT=5
;
;
The following two commands
are mutually exclusive... Use one or
; the
other, but not both!
; Callsigns
should be seperated by commas or spaces, and there is
no
; limit to
the number of calls. You can have multiple validcalls=
or
; exclude= lines, but you should be
aware that, depending on your
; hardware,
there may be a performance penalty if you use long lists.
;
; Validcalls
allows L2 frames only from the specified users, and is
; typically
used to keep users from connecting to link-only ports.
;
; VALIDCALLS=G6YAK,G6AMU ; Accept only these users
;
; Exclude allows L2 frames from
everyone EXCEPT specified users,
; and would
typically be used on a user-access port to prevent
; connections
from trouble-makers and pirates. Just
because I
; provide this command it doesn't
mean I condone its use.
;
; EXCLUDE=NOCALL,P1RAT ; Ignore these users
;
; CWID=G8PZT ; Used only by SCC cards.
; ;
Callsign is sent every 30 mins.
;
; PIPE allows frames received (and
optionally sent) on this port to
; be copied to another port, e.g. to
allow a PMS on one port to see
; the
traffic on another port. Unless the
"bi-directional" option
; is specified, pipes are one
way. In order to have two way traffic
; using a uni-directional
pipe, you must set up a reverse pipe on the
; opposite
port. You may pipe several ports to a
single destination
; port, but
you can only have one *outgoing* pipe from any port.
; Pipes are capable of generating an
immense amount of traffic, so
; use them
with care - your target port MUST be capable of handling
; the
traffic load.
; Pipes can be made
"selective", by adding a comma-delimited callsign
; list,
e.g. "PIPE=4 GB7PZT,KDRBBS".
This will reduce the loading on
; the
target port, by piping only the frames with the specified calls
; in the
destination field.
; Pipes can be made
"bi-directional" by adding 512 to the PIPEFLAG
; value
(see below: suggested value = 515). If a
frame is piped on
; a birectional pipe, the source call is remembered so that
responses
; will be piped back to the
sender. Thus a reverse pipe is not
needed.
; This is useful in cases where a
BBS has a front end router - simply
; set up bidrectional
selective pipes from each user port to the BBS
; port, and
set up the BCAST option so that the UI mail headers are
; broadcast on each user port. The BBS will then allow direct
; connect and will respond to resync
requests.
; To disable piping, set PIPE=0 or
just omit the command.
;
; PIPE=2 ; Pipe frames from this port to port
2
;
; PIPEFLAG is only used when piping
is active, and controls which
; frames
are piped. The default if not specified
is 3. The value
; is made up by adding together the
following numbers:
;
; 1 - UI frames *not* addressed to nodecall/alias.
; 2 - Non-UI frames *not* addressed to nodecall/alias.
; 4 - UI frames addressed to nodecall/alias.
; 8 - Non-UI frames addressed to nodecall/alias.
; 16 - UI frames transmitted by us.
; 32 - Non-UI frames transmitted by us.
; 64 - Allow budlisted
users to be piped.
; 128 - Netrom
frames
; 256 - IP / ARP frames
; 512 - Bi-directional piping
;
; PIPEFLAG=5 ; Pipe all rcvd UI frames only
;
; UNPROTO=CQ,G6YAK
;
; Optional alternative IP address
for use on this port. If this
; is specified, it will be used
instead of the global IP address
; for this
port only.
;
; IPADDRESS=44.131.91.5
;
; The DHCP keyword specifies whether
or not the port IP address
; will be obtained dynamically using
DHCP (DHCP=1) or specified
; statically
(DHCP=0). Default is 0.
;
; DHCP=0
;
; If you set SYSOP=1, all users who
connect on this port will get
; full
sysop status without answering a password challenge. This
; is intended ONLY FOR USE ON SECURE
LINKS, such as RS232 or
; Ethernet. Be aware that, if the remote system is
capable of
; gatewaying or digipeating,
users could downlink via the remote
; system
back into this port, thus gaining sysop status.
The default
; for this
parameter is of course zero!!
;
; SYSOP=0
;
; The APPLMASK parameter is used
only if you are running applications
; via the
host interface. It specifies which
applications will be
; directly
connectible on this port. Default is
255, which allows
; all
applications. The value is made up by
adding together the
; following numbers:
;
; 1 - Enable Application 1
; 2 - Enable Application 2
; 4 - Enable Application 3
; 8 - Enable Application 4
; 16 - Enable Application 5
; 32 - Enable Application 6
; 64 - Enable Application 7
; 128 - Enable Application 8
;
; If you want an application to be
directly connectible on a port,
; it must
have a callsign, an alias or both, and the
corresponding
; bit in that port's applmask must be set.
;
; APPLMASK=3
;
; Optional port-specific ID text,
sent every IDINTERVAL in place of
; the
global IDTEXT (e.g. for APRS-only ports).
Only one line may
; be sent.
;
; IDTEXT=!5224.00N/00215.00W#
(Kidder)
;
; CFLAGS allows level 2 uplinking and/or downlinking to be prevented,
; e.g. on digipeat-only ports. Use VERY carefully! Default is 3.
; Sysop can always downlink. Add together:
;
; 1 Allow incoming connections
(uplinks)
; 2 Allow outgoing connections (downlinks)
;
; CFLAGS=3

=============================================================
ROUTES
;
; Routes to lock in - Syntax is as
follows:
;
; <callsign>
<port> <quality> [!] [options]
;
; Options are: [maxframe
[frack [paclen [maxtt [maxhops]]]]]
;
; You must specify at least Callsign, port and quality.
If you
; include the lock flag ( ! ) the route will be locked in, and
; will only be changed by a
replacement entry with the lock flag
; set. If you don't include the lock
flag, the route will
; eventually
expire if not confirmed by the reception of nodes
; broadcasts. In either case, if the file PZTNODES is
present,
; its contents
will override the entries here, subject to the
; locking rules above, and the sysop
may also edit routes while
; the
router is running.
; Maxframe,
frack and paclen are optional. If specified they
; override port defaults for that
route.
; Note <frack> is expressed in
millisecs, e.g. 7000 = 7 secs.
; <maxframe>
> 7 will cause Modulo-128 to be attempted on that route.
; A <quality> between 256 and 511
will activate automatic quality
; with a
starting value of (quality-256).
;
; End the section with *** as usual.
;

;============================================================
; Sysop-defined commands:
;============================================================
;
; Up to 8 commands can be defined,
allowing the sysop to set up
; single-word
aliases for frequently used command strings.
For
; example
you might wish to set up BBS, CONV and DXCLUSTER to
; point to
local systems.
;
; Each command is defined using a seperate "COMMAND=" string,
; and the
arguments are <alias> <real_cmd>.
; e.g. "COMMAND=BBS C 7
GB7PZT" means "create a new command
; called BBS, which translates to
the sequence C 7 GB7PZT"
;
COMMAND=BBS C 18 VK2DOT-0 S
COMMAND=CHT C 18 DOTCHT-1
COMMAND=DOT C 18 DOTXR-1 S
COMMAND=XR C 18 DOTXR-1 S
COMMAND=VK2DOT C 18
DOTXR-1 S
