NAME

       svxreflector - The SvxLink conference server audio reflector

SYNOPSIS

       svxreflector  [--help] [--daemon] [--logfile=log file] [--config=configuration file] [--pidfile=pid file]
       [--runasuser=user name]

DESCRIPTION

       The svxreflector server is used to interconnect multiple SvxLink nodes into one network. All  audio  sent
       to  the reflector from one node is retransmitted on all other connected nodes. Only one talker is allowed
       at a time so if another node starts sending audio when another one is already  active,  the  second  node
       will not interrupt the first talker.

       A  TCP/IP  connection is used for the control messages and the audio is transported via UDP. Make sure to
       open up the configured TCP and UDP ports in your firewall for incoming traffic on the server. By  default
       the  port  number is set to 5300 for both TCP and UDP. The clients do not have to open any ports in their
       firewall. Each node must have a unique user ID, typically the callsign.  It is not allowed for a  client,
       using  the  same  user  ID,  to  connect  more  than one time to the server. The connections are password
       protected.

       On the SvxLink node side, a ReflectorLogic should be used to connect  to  the  SvxReflector  server.  The
       connection  to  the  SvxReflector  from  other logics in that node can be activated and deactivated using
       standard logic linking. Read more about how to set up a SvxLink node for use with the SvxReflector in the
       svxlink.conf(5) manual page.

OPTIONS

       --help Print a help message and exit.

       --daemon
              Start the SvxReflector server as a daemon.

       --runasuser
              Start SvxReflector as the specified user. The switch to the new user will happen after the log and
              pid files has been opened.

       --logfile=log file
              Specify a log file to put all output into. Both stdout and stderr will be redirected  to  the  log
              file.

       --pidfile=pid file
              Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.

       --config=configuration file
              Specify which configuration file to use.
