The SvxLink Server is a general purpose voice services system,
|
|
which when connected to a transceiver, can act as both an advanced
|
|
repeater system and can also operate on a simplex channel. One could
|
|
call it a radio operating system since it sits between the hardware
|
|
(transceiver) and the applications (modules) and handle basic system
|
|
services as well as input and output.
|
|
|
|
SvxLink is very extensible and modular. Voice services are implemented
|
|
as modules which are isolated from each other. Modules can be
|
|
implemented in either C++ or TCL.
|
|
|
|
The project also includes Qtel, the Qt EchoLink client, is a graphical
|
|
application used to access the EchoLink network.
|
|
|
|
The SvxReflector application, which is meant to be used as a center
|
|
point to link SvxLink nodes together, is also included in this build.
|
|
|
|
This release introduce talkgroups in the SvxReflector.
|
|
That make it possible to use the reflector server for multiple parallel
|
|
QSOs and provide a new set of features. Also multiple CTCSS tones are
|
|
now supported.
|
|
|
|
A SvxLink node can now be configured to use multiple SvxReflector
|
|
addresses, that allow for simple redundancy where all nodes will switch
|
|
to a backup node if the primary SvxReflector stops responding.
|
|
|
|
Be careful with configuration files since config variables have
|
|
changed in this release. Make sure to move them accordingly.
|
|
|
|
You can build only svxlink server (no Qtel) by passing QTEL=NO to the
|
|
script:
|
|
QTEL=NO ./svxlink.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Opus is an optional (and, based on the audio quality, suggested!)
|
|
dependency available from slackbuilds.org
|
|
|
|
You need a "svxlink" user and group:
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 286 svxlink
|
|
# useradd -u 286 -g svxlink -d /var/spool/svxlink -s /bin/false svxlink
|
|
|
|
The recommended uid/gid is 286, you may want to check
|
|
http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for other recommendations.
|
|
|
|
To run svxlink server you will need the svxlink-sounds package.
|
|
|
|
You may want to check the rc.svxlink scripts for startup options.
