- Routes and Nodes tables for the G8BPQ Switch System.
-
-
-
- Starting from version 3.20, the BPQ switch software reads an additional
- file, BPQNODES, after processing the configuration information in BPQCFG.BIN.
- The file contains Route and Node information to be added to relevant tables.
- The file may be built by hand, but will normally be created by running
- program BPQNODES.COM while the switch is running. This creates file BPQNODES
- containing the current ROUTES and NODES lists in the required format.
-
- There are various ways in which the program could be used. If you run a BBS
- which allows programs to be run from the forwarding system, then you could
- include it in that. Or perhaps just run it when you notice a significant
- change in the network.
-
- The file format is: ( {} indicates optional entries - don't include the{})
-
- ROUTE ADD CALL P QUAL {!} {VIA DIGI1 {DIGI2}}
-
- where P is the port, qual the Quality, and the optional ! indicates a locked
- route. Up to 2 DIGIS may be specified.
-
- NODE ADD ALIAS:CALL CALL-1 P QUAL {!} {CALL-2 P QUAL {!} } {CALL-3 ....}
-
- where CALL-1, CALL-2, CALL-3 are up to 3 alternate routs, which must be
- defined (by ROUTES config entries or ROUTE ADD) before being used.
-
- Although locked nodes are allowed, I strongly recommend that they are used
- only in exceptional circumstances (eg when using a digi'ed route). Note also
- that a locked route to a node will be removed if the system finds 3 higher
- quality routes to it.
-
-
- Lines beginning with ; are treated as comments, and fields should be separated
- by one (and only one) space.
