NAME¶
rsdwnlnk - User exit from the ROSE network.
SYNOPSIS¶
rsdwnlnk <port> <call>
DESCRIPTION¶
The
rdwnplnk program allows a user to leave the ROSE network using the
standard pseudo-digipeating method. Recent Linux kernels are aware of this
form of operation and the
ax25d program can create such connections.
The normal mode of operation of a ROSE switch is to have one ROSE address (ie
port) per physical AX.25 port. Therefore ROSE users coming in on a given ROSE
port will come out of the associated AX.25 port.
To use
rsdwnlnk you need an entry in
ax25d.conf to listen for
incoming ROSE connections to any callsigns that are not matched by the more
specific ROSE entries. In the example below, I will be listening for ROSE
connections on my ROSE port rs144, the exiting AX.25 connection will be via
the associated AX.25 port, 144, using the callsign KE4GAJ-10. Please note that
the callsign should be on the same line as the rest of the command, it may be
wrapped onto the next line on your screen.
#
{* VIA rs144}
NOCALL * * * * * * L
default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/rsdwnlnk rsdwnlnk 144 KE4GAJ-10
#
There would typically be one
rsdwnlnk per ROSE port. The associated
program for entering a ROSE network is
rsuplnk.
All errors generated by
rsdwnlnk are written to the system debug log
file.
