Permanent Node Connection
The following information will make your connection to another AllStarLink node persistent (permanent). The following information is from KD8TWG.[1]
Configuration
Create the following macros in your rpt.conf file under your [functions] stanza:
; Permanent link 951=ilink,11 ; Permanent link disconnect 952=ilink,12 ; Permanent link receive 953=ilink,13 ; Permanent link transcieve
Next, under your node's main stanza (i.e., [XXXXX] where XXXX = your node number), add:
startup_macro=*953NNNNN
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.
