AX25_CALL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      AX25_CALL(8)

NAME

       ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call, tcp_call - make an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or TCP connection

SYNOPSIS

       ax25_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call [digipeaters ...]

       netrom_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_netrom_addr

       rose_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call remote_rose_addr

       tcp_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] remote_addr remote_port

DESCRIPTION

       ax25_call,  netrom_call, rose_call and tcp_call establish an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a manner suitable for calling from
       either the ax25d program directly, or from the node program as an external command. By setting the command line arguments appropriately	it
       is possible to set the local callsign from which the call will be made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this program.

       For  netrom_call  the   remote_netrom_addr   parameter  may either be in the form of a single callsign or as a NET/ROM alias  and  callsign
       pair separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.

       For rose_call the remote_rose_addr  parameter  must be in the form of a ten digit ROSE address.

       For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address or a hostname and the remote_port must be a service name (see  ser-
       vices(5)) or a port number.

OPTIONS

       -c	   Enables zlib based compression on the incoming connection. Compression algorithm is the same as in LinuxNode (see node(8)).

       -i paclen   The	maximum  frame	length	to  be	used  on  the incoming connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for
		   netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.

       -o paclen   The maximum frame length to be used on the outgoing connection. The default	is  256  for  ax25_call  and  rose_call,  236  for
		   netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.

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.
