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.
       Traffic is switched using talk groups in the SvxReflector server so that all audio sent to
       the reflector from one node is retransmitted on all other nodes  that  have  selected  the
       same  talk  group.  Only  one talker is allowed at a time on each talk group 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.

       The  SvxReflector  offer  a  QSY functionality which is used to switch all active nodes to
       another talk group. This can be used to make a call on a broad talk group,  like  a  large
       region  or the entire country, and when the called party answers a QSY can be performed to
       a talk group where only the active nodes are included.

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.

FILES
