NAME

6       svxreflector - The SvxLink conference server audio reflector
7

SYNOPSIS

9       svxreflector [--help] [--daemon] [--logfile=log file] [--config=config‐
10       uration file] [--pidfile=pid file] [--runasuser=user name]

DESCRIPTION

13       The svxreflector server is used to interconnect multiple SvxLink  nodes
14       into  one  network.  All  audio  sent to the reflector from one node is
15       retransmitted on all other connected nodes. Only one talker is  allowed
16       at  a  time so if another node starts sending audio when another one is
17       already active, the second node will not interrupt the first talker.
18
19       A TCP/IP connection is used for the control messages and the  audio  is
20       transported  via  UDP.  Make sure to open up the configured TCP and UDP
21       ports in your firewall for incoming traffic on the server.  By  default
22       the port number is set to 5300 for both TCP and UDP. The clients do not
23       have to open any ports in their firewall. Each node must have a  unique
24       user ID, typically the callsign.  It is not allowed for a client, using
25       the same user ID, to connect more than one time to the server. The con‐
26       nections are password protected.
27
28       On the SvxLink node side, a ReflectorLogic should be used to connect to
29       the SvxReflector server. The connection to the SvxReflector from  other
30       logics  in  that  node  can be activated and deactivated using standard
31       logic linking. Read more about how to set up a  SvxLink  node  for  use
32       with the SvxReflector in the svxlink.conf(5) manual page.

OPTIONS

35       --help Print a help message and exit.
36
37       --daemon

42              user will happen after the log and pid files has been opened.
43
44       --logfile=log file
45              Specify a log file to put  all  output  into.  Both  stdout  and

47
48       --pidfile=pid file
49              Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.
