The Alias Configuration
menu allows the sysop to set up an alias for connecting stations. The alias takes the callsign used in the
connection and replaces it with another callsign used for the network and
display. This feature is often needed
when using Texnet and NetRom connections.
A table of known alias is
presented showing the alias: number, connection call, system call and
comment. The connection call is the
call sign connecting to the node. This
is the call coming into the system from externally. The system call is the translated call and is used internally and
presented to the rest of the cluster network.
An optional comment field exists for documentation.
Clicking the new button
allows the creation of new alias calls.
Clicking on the left column in the alias display grid, allows for
editing and deletion of alias calls.
Calls logging into
AR-Cluster with a SSID of –15 are automatically entered into the alias table
with a connection call of CALL-15 and a system call of CALL.
