MINQUAL

Command

MINQUAL -- Display / Set port minimum quality

Synopsis

MIN[qual] <port> [0-255]

Description

The MINQUAL command is used to display and set the Net/rom minqual (Minimum Quality) value for the specified port.

Within nodes broadcasts received on that port, any node whose quality (after derating by port QUALITY) is less than the minqual will not be accepted into the nodes table.

If the setting is changed, the new setting remains in force until it is changed again, or until the router is restarted, in which case it returns to the default value specified in the port entry in the CFG file.

Options

If the second argument is omitted, the current value for the specified port is displayed.

Examples

MIN 2      - Display current setting for port 2
MIN 2 30   - Set minqual for port 2 to 30.

Files

The MINQUAL value for a port is usually specified in the PORT configuration block within XROUTER.CFG. If not specified, it defaults to 10.

Availability

Sysop-only.
