NAME

6       rsuplnk - User entry into the ROSE network.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rsuplnk [-q] <port>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  rsuplnk  program allows a user to gain entry into the ROSE network
13       using the standard pseudo-digipeating method. Recent Linux kernels  are
14       aware  of  this  form of operation and the ax25d program can listen for
15       such connections. The normal mode of operation of a ROSE switch  is  to
16       have  one  ROSE  address  (ie port) per physical AX.25 port.  Therefore
17       ROSE users coming in on a given AX.25 port will appear as if they  come
18       from  the  associated  ROSE port. This is the reason for the need for a
19       ROSE port as an argument.
20
21       To use rsuplnk you need an entry in ax25d.conf to listen  for  incoming
22       connections. In the example below, I will be listening for ROSE connec‐
23       tions on my AX.25 port 144 using the callsign KE4GAJ-10  and  the  ROSE
24       port associated with the AX.25 port is rs144.

32       There  would  typically  be one rsuplnk per user access AX.25 port. The
33       associated program for exiting a ROSE network is rsdwnlnk.
34
35       All errors generated by rsuplnk are written to  the  system  debug  log
36       file.
