The steps to follow are 1. Register node 2. Assign password to the node 3. Set node type Although it is not necessary for both nodes to have authentication enabled, it is desirable. The following is an example of how it is implemented at one endpoint Scenario Node-A: XX0XX-2 Node-B: ZZ8ZZ-...")

PLEASE NOTE THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES FOR all MOJO BRANCH USERS. See APPENDIX(i) at the end of this document. The BIG TICKET ITEM in this branch is that (potentially) '''long lived''' commands such as sh/dx and commands that poll external internet resources now don't halt the flow of data through the node. I am also using a modern, event driven, web socket "manager" called Mojolicious which is considerably more efficie...")

This means that it is possible to update your DXSpider installation to the latest sources by using a few simple commands. A graphical interface to CVS for Windows is explained in the next section.

These are not by any means meant to be exhaustive, however they do afford some security against piracy. These two new features can be used independently of each other or in concert to tighten the security. ===Registration=== The basic principle of registration is simple. If a user is not registered by the sysop, then they have read-only access to the cluster. The only thing they can act...")

This is a neat little java web applet that can be run from a website. The applet must run on the same machine as the cluster. The included README file is shown below. I should comment here that the applet is precompiled, that is, ready to go. It was compiled using JDK1.3.1. If your version is earlier than this then it may not work. Should that be the case you need to recompile or update your J...")

The simplest way to do this is to have a banner that is sent to the user on login. This is know as a "message of the day" or "motd". To set this up, simply create a file in /spider/data called motd and edit it to say whatever you want. It is purely a text file and will be sent automatically to anyone logging in to th...")
08:19, 1 February 2023 G0vgs talk contribs created page Databases (Created page with "==Databases== Spider allows the creation of local or remote databases. It supports chained databases, allowing several different databases to be scanned with one simple command. Importing of databases is limited at present to the standard AK1A databases such as OBLAST and the DB0SDX QSL database but will expand with time. ===Creating databases=== Creating a database could not be more simple. All the commands are sent from the cluster prompt as the sysop user. To c...")
08:16, 1 February 2023 G0vgs talk contribs created page Scripts (Created page with "==Scripts== From 1.48 onwards it will become increasingly possible to control DXSpider's operation with scripts of various kinds. The directory /spider/scripts is where it all happens and is used for several things. Firstly it contains a file called startup that can be used to call in any changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible...")

08:14, 1 February 2023 G0vgs talk contribs created page Routing and Filtering (Created page with "==Introduction== From DXSpider version 1.48, major changes were introduced to the way node connections are treated. This is part of an ongoing process to remove problems with loops and to enable talk and other functions to propagate across the whole of the worldwide cluster network. In fact, in a Spider network, it would be useful, perhaps even necessary to have loops. This would give real resilience to the network, meaning that if a link dropped, the information flo...")
