I discovered something in trying to configure a simple axip gateway
setup that I'd like help with.
Here is the scenario:
Station A is configured to run with the callsign K8MK-3 on the VHF
port, and K8MK-14 on the AXIP link. It has a single AXIP route, to
W8APR at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
W8APR has a similar configuration, with an AXIP route to K8MK at
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Either station can use the call command ("call axip W8APR) to initiate
a connect to the other, and will get the other station's node prompt.
And, if K8MK-0 connects to the K8MK-3 node and then does a "c axip
W8APR" command, he will get connected to the node at W8APR.
However, if a user with another callsign logs in to the node and issues
the same command, it will fail. For example, if N8UR connects to
K8MK-3 and then issues "c axip W8APR" from the node prompt, K8MK-3 will
attempt the connection, but W8APR will not respond.
The listen command shows that K8MK uses the node user's callsign, not
its own, as the source call in this case. So, the connect request goes
out over the axip link with a source address of N8UR and W8APR doesn't
respond, since its config file doesn't include N8UR but only K8MK.
So, the question is this -- is there any way to configure things so
that any user can connect to the node, and then issue a connect via
axip to the remote node, regardless of that user's callsign?
Thanks!
