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.
