The following information will make your connection to another AllStarLink node persistent (permanent).
Permanent Connects:
- Survive network outages and far end reboots.
- Near end reboots will not reconnect. Use startup macro for that.
- Will continuously attempt to reconnect.
- Must be disconnected by a Permanent Disconnect.
- Either end may disconnect.
- Do not block nodes from subsequently connecting again. Use whitelist/blacklist for that.
Configuration
The following commands should already exist in ASL 2.0 rpt.conf file (but may need to be uncommented) under your [functions] stanza:
; Permanent links 811 = ilink,11 ; Permanent link disconnect 812 = ilink,12 ; Permanent link receive 813 = ilink,13 ; Permanent link transcieve
In other words a *83nnnnn touch tone command will permanent connect your node to the node number represented by nnnnn.
If you would like a permanent connect automatically when your node boots you need a startup_macro. For example, under your node stanza (i.e., [XXXXX] where XXXX = your node number), usually near the end your will find a commented blank startup_macro= line. Uncomment it (or add):
startup_macro=*83NNNNN
Where NNNNN is the node you wish to automatically connect.
Reload/restart your system and it will auto connect to the node you specified above.
