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.
