The
following sysop commands are available for connects and information pertaining
to connections.
The CONNECT command is used to establish a
connection to another user of node.
Connections can be made using AGW, BQP TCPIP or a serial port.
connect/agw1 k5na (connect to K5NA using AGW port 1)
connect/agw2 k5ab (connect to K5AB using AGW port 2)
connect/bpq2 k5na (connect to K5NA using BPQ port 2)
connect/bpq2 k5na (connect to K5NA using BPQ port 2)
connect/bpq* k5na (connect to K5NA using BPQ via NetRom)
connect/tcp ab5k dxc.ab5k.net (connect to AB5K using TCPIP)
connect/tcp wu3v 24.162.66.198 (connect to AB5K using TCPIP)
connect/com1 ab5k-3 (connect to AB5K-3 using COM1)
Connect scripts can be executed with the
CONNECT/SCRIPT command. See Connect Scripts for details.
connect/script k5na (connect to K5NA using the k5na.scp script file)
The DISCONNECT is used to terminate connections.
Example:
disconnect k5pi (disconnect k5pi)
disconnect/full k5pi (disconnect k5pi and refresh the connect tree-view)
The SHOW/TNC_CONNECTIONS command shows the connection parameters for each local user or node
connection. The call, communication
type, interface, stream and port for each connection is listed.
Example:
show/tnc_connections
The SHOW/PHONE is a sysop command that can be used
to show user telephone numbers. A
checkbox on the Cfg>NodeStation screen will request phone numbers from users
logging onto the node.
Example:
show/phone k5hog
The SHOW/TRAFFIC command displays inbound and outbound
packet and radio keys.
Example:
show/traffic
The SHOW/USERINFO command
shows user information for users who have connected to the node during the last
six months. The list includes the Call,
Name, Location and email address is shown for each user. The report is written to the file
Debug\UserInfo.txt. An optional
parameter specifies the number of months of data to include in the report. If the number of months is blank, the report
is generated for one month.
Example:
show/userinfo
show/userinfo 6
The SHOW/USEREMAIL command executes a database query
against all users who have logged into the node in the last 6 months and
displays their email address in the Output window. Sysops can copy the displayed block of email addresses and paste
them into their email application. This
allows the sysop to easily send emails to all registered email users alerting
them of node updates and new AR-Cluster features. Users set their email address with the SET/EMAIL ADDRESS command.
An optional parameter specifies the number of months of data to include in the
report. If the number of months is
blank, the report is generated for one month.
Example:
show/useremail show/useremail 6
The SET/LOCKOUT and SET/NOLOCKOUT commands are used
to lock out a call from connecting to your node. Note the functionality of the Lockout list can be reversed to
become a Members Only list. You can
display the lockout list with the SHOW/LOCKOUT command
Example:
set/lockout pk232 set/nolockout pk232 show/lockout
The RESTART/TCPIP command can be used to disconnect all
TCPIP connections and restart the TCPIP logic.
Example:
restart/tcpip
Connection
logic - When a user connects into AR-Cluster,
the application first checks to see if he is in the lockout list. If the connecting call minus any SSID
matches a call in the lockout list, the user is disconnected and the sysop gets
the following message "Disconnecting call in lockout list". Next the application checks the node list
to see if the connecting call is a node.
If an alias if registered the alias is used to compare with the node
table. If it’s a node and the call is
already connected in the system, the node is disconnected and the following
message is presented to the SysOp "Disconnecting node already
connected”. If the node is not already
connected in the system, he is connected.
If the connection is a user so we take the alias
call and see if its connected anywhere in the system. If it is, we disconnect and display the following message to the
sysop "Disconnecting xyz user already connected". If the Cfg-filters-user "Don’t allow a
second connection" option is turned on, we check the system and if a user
is found with the same call (we ignore the SSID's for this), then we do not
allow the second connection and send the following message to the sysop
"Disconnecting user already Connected”.
Else the user is logged into the system
Valid call sign characters are ”-,/, 0-9, A-Z". If illegal characters are present, the
connecting station gets a disconnect (DM) and a message "Disconnecting
call contains illegal chars" is displayed to the sysop on the console. The characters in the callsign are displayed
in decimal format between the brackets as "[003 005]” for debugging
purposes.
