; For Version 4.07
;
;
; CONFIGURATION FILE FOR G8BPQ SWITCH SOFTWARE
;
; The program which converts this text file to binary
; form is currently very crude - be VERY careful when
; editing this file!
;
;
; The order of parameters in not important, but they
; all must be specified - there are no defaults
;
;
;
HOSTINTERRUPT=127 ; Sets the Interrupt used to access BPQ Host Mode. Will
; normally be 127, but may be changed if this clashes with
; other software. BTRIEVE seems to use 127, so if you are
; using it, try INTERRUPT=126
; Memory Usage. If EMS=1, the system will attempt to put its
; data area into EMS Memory. At the moment it makes no attempt
; to manage sharing of the EMS window, so you must not run any other
; software using EMS.
;
; Setting EMS=1 seems to cause problems with Desqview. I suggest it
; is only used with non-DV installations.
;
;
EMS=0 ; dont use EMS RAM
;
; I seem to have problems with systems not using DESQVIEW - especially
; NNA BBS's. The DV calls SHOULD be ignored if DV is not loaded, but
; just in case, if you set DESQVIEW=0, the 'Release Timeslice' call
; wont be used. MAKE SURE that you set DESQVIEW=1 if using DV, or
; performance will be seriously affected.
;
DESQVIEW=1
;
;
; Station Identification.
;
; If a user connects to the NODE Callsign or Alias, he is linked
; to the switch code, and can use normal NetRom/TheNet commands
;
; If he connects to the BBS Callsign or Alias he will be connected
; directly to a BBS port. If none are available, the connect will
; be rejected.
;
; Note that of you are running only a NODE (ie BBS=0), or
; or just a BBS (NODE=0), then you must still put in two pairs of calls,
; but they MUST be the SAME.
;
; If you are running both, the calls MUST be different
NODECALL=G8BPQ-3 ; NODE CALLSIGN
NODEALIAS=NOTTS
BBSCALL=G8BPQ-1 ; BBS CALLSIGN
BBSALIAS=BBSTST ; BBS ALIAS
;
; 'ID' MESSAGE - SENT EVERY IDINTERVAL MINS
;
; WILL BE ADDRESSED FROM THE PORT CALLSIGN (IF DEFINED)
; ELSE FROM THE NODE CALL
;
; The following format allows KA nodes to include your system in
; their 'Nodes' lists.
;
IDMSG:
Network node (NOTTS)
***
;
UNPROTO=MAIL ; DEFAULT UNPROTO ADDR
; 'I' COMMAND TEXT
;
; Note that the bit about needing a port param in connects is only
; necessary if you are running more that one (radio) port.
;
INFOMSG:
G8BPQ Packet Switch, Mapperley, Nottingham. IO92KX
Commands are basically the same as NET/ROM, but to connect to another
normal station (not another node), you must specify a port number before
the callsign. Use PORTS command to list available ports. The BBS command
connects you to the associated Mailbox.
***
;
; CTEXT - Normally will only be sent when someone connects to
; the NODE ALIAS at level 2. If FULL_CTEXT is set to 1, it
; will be sent to all connectees. Note that this could confuse BBS
; forwarding connect scripts.
;
CTEXT:
Welcome to G8BPQ's Packet Switch in Nottingham
Type ? for list of available commands.
***
FULL_CTEXT=0 ; SEND CTEXT ONLY TO L2 CONNECTEES TO ALIAS
; Network System Parameters
;
OBSINIT=5 ; INITIAL OBSOLESCENCE VALUE
OBSMIN=4 ; MINIMUM TO BROADCAST
NODESINTERVAL=60 ; 'NODES' INTERVAL IN MINS
IDINTERVAL=15 ; 'ID' BROADCAST INTERVAL (UK Regs require
; an AX25 ID every 15 mins)
;
BTINTERVAL=0 ; NO BEACONS
L3TIMETOLIVE=25 ; MAX L3 HOPS
L4RETRIES=3 ; LEVEL 4 RETRY COUNT
;
; I have seen suggestions that L4TIMEOUT should be increased to very
; high values (even as long as seven mins). Although 60 may be a bit
; short in some cases, I STRONGLY advise that you dont go much above
; 120 secs unless you understand ALL the implications.
;
; I've set TTL and TIMEOUT to the values agreed by the latest SYSOPS
; meeting - this does not imply that I agree with them!
;
L4TIMEOUT=120 ; LEVEL 4 TIMEOUT
L4DELAY=10 ; LEVEL 4 DELAYED ACK TIMER
L4WINDOW=4 ; DEFAULT LEVEL 4 WINDOW
;
MAXLINKS=30 ; MAX LEVEL 2 LINKS (UP,DOWN AND INTERNODE)
MAXNODES=120 ; MAX NODES IN SYSTEM
MAXROUTES=35 ; MAX ADJACENT NODES
MAXCIRCUITS=64 ; NUMBER OF L4 CIRCUITS
MINQUAL=10 ; MINIMUM QUALITY TO ADD TO NODES TABLE
BBSQUAL=30 ; BBS Quality relative to NODE - used to
; limit 'spread' of BBS through the network
; to your required service area. I've been
; asked to set a low default to encourage you
; to think about a suitable value. Max is 255
BUFFERS=255 ; PACKET BUFFERS - 255 MEANS ALLOCATE AS MANY
; AS POSSIBLE - NORMALLY ABOUT 130, DEPENDING
; ON OTHER TABLE SIZES
;
; TNC DEFAULT PARAMS
;
PACLEN=120 ; MAX PACKET SIZE
;
; PACLEN is a problem! The ideal size depends on the link(s) over
; which a packet will be sent. For a session involving another node,
; we have no idea what is at the far end. Ideally each node should have
; the capability to combine and then refragment messages to suit each
; link segment - maybe when there are more of my nodes about than 'real'
; ones, i'll do it. When the node is accessed directly, things are a
; bit easier, as we know at least something about the link. So, from
; Version 3.11 onwards, there are two PACLEN params, one here and
; one in the PORTS section. This one is used to set the initial value
; for sessions via other nodes, and for sessions initiated from here.
; The other is used for incoming direct (Level 2) sessions. In all cases
; the TNC PACLEN command can be used to override the defaults.
;
; The main reason for changing this now was a request from someone
; wanting to run an HF port.
;
;
;
TRANSDELAY=1 ; TRANSPARENT MODE SEND DELAY - 1 SEC
;
; Level 2 Parameters
;
; T1, T2 and N2 are now int the PORTS section
;
T3=180 ; LINK VALIDATION TIMER (3 MINS)
IDLETIME=900 ; IDLE LINK SHUTDOWN TIMER (15 MINS)
;
;
; Configuration Options

BBS=1 ; INCLUDE BBS SUPPORT
NODE=1 ; INCLUDE SWITCH SUPPORT
;
HIDENODES=0 ; IF SET TO 1, NODES STARTING WITH # WILL
; ONLY BE DISPLAYED BY A NODES * COMMAND
;
; THE *** LINKED COMMAND IS INTENDED FOR USE BY GATEWAY SOFTWARE, AND
; CONCERN HAS BEEN EXPRESSED THAT IT COULD BE MISUSED. I RECOMMEND THAT
; IT IS DISABLED IF NOT NEEDED.
;
ENABLE_LINKED=N ; CONTROLS PROCESSING OF *** LINKED COMMAND
; Y ALLOWS UNRESTRICTED USE
; A ALLOWS USE BY APPLICATION PROGRAM
; N (OR ANY OTHER VALUE) DISABLE

; 'COMBIOS' Port definitions.
;
; This section defines the virtual TNC's that the code supports.
;
; The basic format is:
;
; TNCPORT
; COM=n ; COMBIOS port number
; APPLMASK=nn ; Defaults to 1 (BBS)
; APPLFLAGS=nn ; Defaults to 6
; ENDPORT
;
; See APPLS.DOC for details on use of APPLFLAGS and APPLMASK
;
; Only TNC2 applications are supported through this interface.
; For information on using KISS or DEDHOST applications, see file
; DRIVERS.DOC
;
; Dont try to define more than 16 ports.
;
TNCPORT
COM=1
ENDPORT
TNCPORT
COM=3
APPLFLAGS=4 ; NO 'CONNECTED' TO USERS
ENDPORT
;
; AX25 PORT DEFINITIONS
;
; These define the external links - normally to radios, but possibly
; to other computers, modems, etc.
;
; The hardware type and protocol are now defined separately, but
; at the moment only a limited number of combinations are possible
;
; Interrupt levels may be shared by any cards with suitable
; hardware. Examples are all but the earliest DRSI cards, and
; a MS400 modified as described by AA4RE in his MBBIOS documentation.
;
; There is a significant overhead in using the shared interrupt
; feature - try to use it on relatively low speed links, and
; wath out for TX underruns/RX overuns.
;
;
; See file PORTS.DOC for full details of available paramters.
;
; Note that all timer values are in ms intervals. Most TNC's
; use different units for the various timers, so be careful!
;
; The timings are all derived from the PC's timer interrupt,
; who's frequency is about 18.2 HZ, so the resolution is only to
; approx 50ms.
