convers <subcommands>
These commands configure the network conference server. See the
section 'SETTING UP THE CONFERENCE BRIDGE' in the JNOS documentation for
details on the inner workings of the conference system. NOTE: in the
JNOS40 CONFIGURATION MANUAL, the relevant section is called 'Configuring
the Conference Bridge'.
convers channel [<default_chan_number>] Default: 0
Displays or sets the default channel number, that is, the initial
channel to which new users are assigned.
convers channel 2
convers drop [<addr>]
Drop the remote convers link to <addr>. See also 'convers link'.
If <addr> is not given, all links are dropped.
convers drop 44.26.1.19
convers filter Default: refuse (nobody)
Set how the convers node will respond to connect requests.
convers filter mode [accept | refuse]
Sets or displays the filter mode. 'filter mode accept' allows
links from only the hosts in the filter list. 'filter mode
refuse' allows links from all hosts except those in the list.
convers filter [ipaddress | hostname]
Builds the filter list used in conjunction with the 'convers
filter mode' command.
convers host <name>
Displays or set the convers hostname as will be used when
announcing the system to conference users or remote links.
Maximum length is 10 chars, but if you want to stay compatible
with NOS.EXE based convers servers use a maximum of 8 character
for the convers host name (unless the system runs jnos-v1.04 or
later).
If the 'hostname' gets set and the 'convers host' isn't set yet,
it will be set to the first 10 chars of the 'hostname'. After
this, if any sub domains (i.e. periods) exist in the hostname,
the convers hostname will be terminated at the right-most period.
e.g. If 'converse host' is not set, and 'hostname
jnos.wg7j.ampr.org' is given, then after this the converse
hostname will be 'jnos.wg7j'.
convers host Corvallis
convers interface [<iface>] [on|OFF]
Displays or sets the active convers interfaces. This command
needs to be given for each interface that which will allow
connections to the conference call (see 'convers mycall'); e.g.,
this command can be used to allow conference call access only on
the user ports but not on the backbone/linking ports. This can
also be useful to avoid confusion when different nodes have the
same conference call. (Locally, we use the call 'QSO' for the
conference server for different nodes, and ran into problems when
a user tried to connect to it from a backbone node. All of a
sudden two nodes were answering the connect !) Default is off.
convers interface port1 on
convers link [<addr> [port] [name]]
convers xlink [<addr> [port] [name]]
If no <addr> is given, display the list of linked nodes with
link status and statistics indicated. If <addr> is given,
add a convers link to another (remote) conference server. The
link is LZW-compressed if xlink, instead of link, is specified
(and XCONVERS was defined at compile-time).
<addr> is the ip address or hostname of the remote server to which
to link.
[port] is the tcp port number to use for the server connection.
[port] defaults to 3600 if the link command is used, and 3601 if
the xlink command is used.
[name] is the optional name that will show up in the links
listing shown with the '/links' command if the link has not yet
been established. [name] can be a maximum of 10 characters; the
first character must be a non-integer.
After the link has been established, the name will be set to the
name with which the remote system introduced itself.
convers link 44.26.1.19 Testing
convers [u|h]maxq [<bytes>] {JNOS}
Display or set the upper limit for the number of bytes that can
be queued up waiting for transmission on a connection to another
server. If there is more data than this limit, the connection to
the other server will be closed.
You are able to set individual limits for users and hosts
with 'convers hmaxq' and 'convers umaxq'. If set to 0, there is
no limit, otherwise connections will be reset if there is more
than the []maxq value data outstanding on the connection. The
connections will be RESET instead of gracefully closed.
Default values are umaxq of 1024 and hmaxq of 5120. Note that any
changes will only affect new connections, not existing connections.
convers maxwait [<seconds>] Default: 10800
Display or set the upper limit for the time the system will wait
to reestablish a disconnected convers link that originated at
this system. Time is given in seconds.
convers maxwait 600
convers motd ["<yourmessage>"]
Set or show the message of the day for the convers server. This
message is displayed when users connect to the server.
NOTE: this option is obsolete in recent convers implementations.
Instead, the contents of the file /spool/convmotd.txt are displayed.
This filename can be changed by setting the ConvMotd string in nos.cfg.
convers mycall <mycall>
Display or set the 'conference call'. <mycall> is a separate
ax.25 callsign. If set, users can connect to it to get
immediately connected to the conference bridge. However, each
port or interface that this call should be allowed on should be
enabled with the 'convers interface' command. Conference call
connections bypass the regular node interface. This is
independent from the settings of 'mbox convers' or whether the
network conference server has been started. See also 'convers
t4'.
convers mycall QSO
convers online [long | call | @host]
Display a list of convers users known to the convers server. This
is the same report as a /who listing made from within the convers
facility. The default report is a "quick" format listing of the
connected users. The "long" option specified a long-format report,
which can be restricted to a particular "call" or "host".
Example: conv on @luzana -or- conv on wu3v -or- conv on
convers setinfo [yes | NO]
Display or the set the ability of conference users to change their
personal info as stored in /finger/dbase.dat. This sub-command is
only available when CNV_CHG_PERSONAL was defined when Jnos was
compiled.
convers t4 [<seconds>] Default: 7200
(B) Display or the set the conference call connection T4 timer.
t4 is the 'redundancy timer' for ax.25 connections to the
conference server. This allows you to set a different inactivity
time-out for ax25 node and conference connections. Default is
7200, i.e. 2 hours.
convers t4 900
convers tdisc [<seconds>] Default: 0
Display or the set the conference call general redundancy timer
that applies to all connections to the conference server.
Connections which are idle longer than <seconds> will be
disconnected. Default is 0, i.e. disable idle timeouts.
convers tdisc 1200
Files used by the convers facility:
Keyword Default value Usage
ConvMotd /spool/convmotd.txt Connect greeting.
Cinfo /finger/dbase.dat Convers user personal info
Cinfobak /finger/dbase.bak Previous Cinfo file (after update)
Channelfile /spool/channel.dat Channel number to name mapping

Cinfo line format: <name|call> <personal data, ie, QTH, etc>
