NAME

6       flexd.conf - flexd configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

9       flexd.conf file is read by flexd at program startup and is used to mod‐
10       ify the behaviour of the robot.
11
12       The lines within flexd.conf must either be a comment line, which starts
13       with a # in the first column, or one of the commands listed below. Com‐
14       mands and arguments are delimited by white space. Arguments can contain
15       white space if they are enclosed in double quotes. Also C-style escapes
16       (\n, \x0A, \012 etc.) are parsed within double quotes.
17
18       Available configuration commands are:
19
20       MyCall    <xx#xx>
21                     Sets up the callsign AND ssid you wish to use to  connect
22                     to  your flexnet neighbor for destinations import. Do NOT
23                     use an ssid  of  your  ax25  interface  which  you'll  be
24                     polling from as you may create a loop between your system
25                     and the flexnet neighbor.  An example: MyCall  kb1uuu-13
26
27       PollInterval   <time/secs>
28                     This string tells the robot how many times in SECONDS  to
29                     poll  your  flexnet neighbor and import their destination
30                     table. In my production environment 300  (or  5  minutes)
31                     seemed  to  be fine. I would NOT go below 180 (3 minutes)
32                     as you may create more traffic than needed.
33
34       FlexGate  <xx#xx-##>
35                     This is the callsign of your flexnet neighbor. The  robot
36                     will  read this callsign-ssid and attempt a connect to it
37                     every ## minutes assigned in PollInterval <time/mins>. Be
38                     sure  you  do  NOT  configure  it to connect to a service
39                     linked within the flexnet neighbor such  as  a  BBS!  You
40                     will NOT receive any destinations to your system that way
41                     and the BBS will think you're attempting a feed.
42
43                     Also note: your FlexNet destination host *must* reside in
44                     your uronode.route file or else flexd will *not* know the
45                     path where to connect and the robot will exit.
