- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom acktime [<millisecs>] Default: 3000
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the NET/ROM acknowledge timer. (This is analagous
- to the AX.25 T2 timer).
-
- >> Example: netrom acktime 3000
-
-
- ________________________________________________________________
- netrom alias [<alias>]
- ________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the NET/ROM alias for this station. The alias is
- included in NET/ROM Routing Table broadcasts.
-
- The <alias> is a string of up to six characters, and is the name
- by which the node is known to other NET/ROM stations. There are
- no hard and fast rules for choosing an alias name, but ideally it
- should contain the letters "IP" or "TCP", or start with a "#", to
- make it clear to other users that this is not an ordinary NET/ROM
- node. A suggested convention is to incorporate the last half of
- your IP address, expressed in hexadecimal, into the alias.
-
- >> Examples: netrom alias #BOB
- netrom alias IP0A3F
-
- ________________________________________________________________
- netrom bcnodes <interface>
- ________________________________________________________________
- Initiates an immediate broadcast of the NET/ROM routing table.
-
- >> Example: netrom bcnodes tnc0
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom connect <node_callsign>|<node_alias>
- _________________________________________________________________
- Make an ordinary NET/ROM connection to another NET/ROM node
- (which may be an ordinary NET/ROM, or may be the NET/ROM node at
- another NOS station).
-
- The target node may be specified as a callsign or as a NET/ROM
- alias.
-
- >> Examples: netrom connect NR9ABC-2
- netrom connect #TOM
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom choketime [<millisecs>] Default: 180000

-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom derate [on|off] Default: on
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the NET/ROM derate mode. This is an experimental
- command to attempt to overcome the severe NET/ROM limitation of
- single-path-only operation. That is, normal NET/ROM only tries
- alternative routes for traffic IF a link actually fails.
-
- If derate is set to 'on' and retries on a particular link occur,
- the NET/ROM quality for the link will be slowly reduced. If then
- another path gets to have a better quality, that path is
- attempted.
-
- >> Example: netrom derate on
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom interface <interface> <quality>
- _________________________________________________________________
- The 'netrom interface' command specifies an <interface> to be
- used for NET/ROM, together with the <quality>.
-
- The <quality> is the default quality for incoming NET/ROM
- broadcasts (and is also the default quality for stations added to
- the node filter list).

- with the 'netrom save' command.
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom minquality [<n>] Default: 10
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the minimum acceptable quality of incoming NET/ROM
- broadcasts. <n> must be in the range 1 to 255.
-
- >> Example: netrom minquality 10
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom nodefilter
- _________________________________________________________________

-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom nodefilter mode [none|accept|reject] Default: accept
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the node filter mode. The settings are:
-
- none: No filtering. The filter is ignored.
-
- accept: Only nodes in the nodefilter list will be heard by the
- node.
-
- reject: Nodes in the nodefilter list will be rejected. This is
- used to disable a path to a neighbouring node; useful if there
- are several paths and you do not want to use a specific one.
-
- >> Example: netrom nodefilter mode accept
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom nodetimer [<seconds>] Default: 0

-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom obsotimer [<seconds>] Default: 0
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the NET/ROM obsolescence timer, which indicates
- how long the entries will remain alive in the NET/ROM routing
- table.
-
- A new or refreshed entry in the table has a time-to-live (TTL)
- count of 6. Each time the obsotimer expires, the TTL count is
- decremented by one. If node information is not refreshed, the
- entry will eventually disappear when the TTL count falls to zero.
-
- >> Example: netrom obsotimer 1200 (for a 2-hour lifetime)
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom promiscuous [on|off] Default: off
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set NET/ROM "promiscuous" mode. This determines
- whether or not the node will listen to all routing table
- broadcasts, irrespective of quality.
-
- If set to 'on', all nodes are received, ignoring any nodefilter
- settings.
-
- >> Example: netrom promiscuous on
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom qlimit [<bytes>] Default: 2048
- _________________________________________________________________
- Display or set the maximum number of bytes on the NET/ROM receive
- queue. This is the threshhold at which the sender is choked.

- >> Example: netrom qlimit 1024
-
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- netrom reset <&CB>
