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.

NAME

       rsparms - Configure the Rose interface.

SYNOPSIS

       rsparms -nodes add|del address[/mask] port neigh [digis...]

       rsparms -nodes list

       rsparms -call <callsign>|none

       rsparms -version

DESCRIPTION

       This program is used to manipulate the routing tables of the Rose network layer. To set up a new route to a Rose node in the routing tables
       you must use the nodes option. All of the parameters are needed to add the node. It is probably best to illustrate with an example:

	    rsparms -nodes add 2080192303 144 F1OAT-11

       This creates a new route to a distant node with the address 2080192303 and the packets for that node should be sent on AX.25 port 144 to my
       immediate neighbour F1OAT-11 without going through any digipeaters. For example to set up the same node but via a digipeater I would use:

	    rsparms -nodes add 2080192303 144 F1OAT-11 F6PRA-9

       It  is  also  possible  to  remove  a route to a distant node with the same command except that the "add" is replaced by a "del". The other
       parameters must also be present. If the node has no other routes then the node will be deleted, and the neighbour node that the connections
       go via may also be deleted if no other node route uses it.

       You may list the configured Rose routes using the following syntax:

	    rsparms -nodes list

       This  program may also be used to set up a common AX.25 level 2 callsign that will be used for the ROSE node. By default no special level 2
       callsign is set, but setting it will replace any existing level 2 callsign and register another one. Setting the callsign  to  "none"  will
       remove the level 2 callsign. For example:

	    rsparms -call VK2KTJ-10

       would set the callsign used by Rose internode traffic to VK2KTJ-10.
