IDTEXT

Command

IDTEXT -- Display / Set ID Beacon Text.

Synopsis

IDT[ext] <port | 0> [text]

Availability

Sysop only.

Description

Displays or modifies the contents of the regular AX25 "ID" beacons, which are transmitted every IDINTERVAL.

The "port" argument is either a valid port number, or zero. In the latter case the command displays or sets the "global" IDTEXT.

If "text" is not specified, the current IDTEXT for the specified port is displayed.

If "text" is specified, the IDTEXT parameter for the specified port is changed to the new value.

The minimum abbreviation of this command is IDT.

Examples

IDT 0 !5220.00N/00102.13W Miltown Node.		- Set global IDTEXT
IDT 3		- Display current IDTEXT for port 3
IDP 3 Test only		- Override global IDTEXT on port 3

Limitations

The IDTEXT must be a single line only.

Since the command line is limited to 80 characters, the maximum length of IDTEXT that can be entered using this command is 74 characters (IDTEXTs that exceed 74 characters can only be specified in XROUTER.CFG).
