The PORTS section of the BPQCFG file is now keyword driven, with one
entry per line. The string of about a dozen params on one line was getting
a bit out of hand!
The format is:
PORT
PARAM=VALUE
..
..
ENDPORT
There are typical entries in the supplied config file, but the full list
of PARAM values supported is given below
ID=text string * ; Up to 30 chars, appear on PORTS display
TYPE=ASYNC/DRSI/PC120/RLC100/QUAD * ; Hardware Type
PROTOCOL=HDLC/KISS/ASYNC * ; ASYNC is NETROM backend link
IOADDR=xxxH * ; in hex, H is needed
INTLEVEL=n * ; 2,3,4,5 or 7 - now supports shared interrupt cards
SPEED=nnnn * ; Radio speed for DRSI, etc, async link speed for KISS
CHANNEL=A/B * ; Selects port on DRSI/PC120 or dual port KISS (eg KPC4)
BBSFLAG=NOBBS ; Stops direct connects to the BBS on this port
QUALITY=nnn * ; Default quality for nodes heard on this port. Set to zero
; to suppress NODES broadcasts on this port.
MAXFRAME=n * ; Maximum outstanding frames
TXDELAY=nnn * ; TX Keyup delay in milliseconds
SLOTTIME=100 * ; CSMA interval timer
PERSIST=nnn * ; 'Probability to transmit' value (1-255)
FULLDUP=0/1 ; currently only used by KISS driver
SOFTDCD=0/1 ; not yet supported
FRACK=nnnn * ; Level 2 timout in milliseconds
RESPTIME=nnnn * ; Level 2 delayed ack timer in milliseconds
RETRIES=n * ; Level 2 maximum retry value
PACLEN=nnn * ; default maximum packet length for this port
CWID=CALL ; Currently only supported on DRSI/PC120/RLC100
PORTCALL=CALL ; Additional callsign/alias for level 2 connects to the
PORTALIAS=ALIAS ; node for this port. Should not be the same as BBSCALL
VALIDCALLS=CALLS; A set of up to 8 callsigns, separated by a single space.
; If present, only stations in the list will be allowed
; to connect to you on this port.
QUALADJUST=NNN ; Percentage to reduce the quality of a NODE in the NODES
; broadcast, if the best neighbour is on the same port as
; the broadcast. Designed to improve throughput if more than
; one channel is available, by discouraging routes which
; cause a node to send a packet on the same port that it
; received it on.
Those marked with a * must be included, the rest are optional. The validation
is not good, and defaults are generally zero, so if you miss out any of the
essential ones, odd things may well happen!
