FlexNet • What is it ? • It’s a newer and better protocol, used extensively throughout Europe • Faster • Smarter
FlexNet • Some commands have changed • a NODE is now called a DIGI • <N>odes are now <D>estinations • <R>outes are now <L>inks • <B>ye is now <Q>uit
FlexNet • Some commands are thesame • <I>nfo is still <I>nfo • <H>elp is still <H>elp • <P>orts is still <P>orts
FlexNet • Some new command exist • <F>ind • <A>kteull • <C>onference • <T>alk
FlexNet • Connect Syntax • C {UserCallsign} V {1stDigiCallsign} • C {UserCallsign} V {1stDigiCallsign} {lastDigiCallsign}
FlexNet • FlexNet automatically tests each link every 4 minutes. • All node parameters are adjusted based solely upon these measurements • Parameters automatically adjust for traffic load and propagation conditions.
FlexNet • Routing is fully automatic • No SysOp intervention is needed or allowed • FlexNet will continuously select fastest path • FlexNet will automatically route around a intermittent , one way or failed links
FlexNet • FlexNet is fair • All parameters and quality decisions are solely based upon automatic measurements • SysOp/NodeOp ego’s don’t enter into network routing !!
FlexNet • FlexNet is not limited to 3 radio hops, as we were under the NEDA standard • In Europe, over 600 sites appear on the local D tables !
FlexNet • Every link is tested • If a <D>estination shows in the D table, you can reach it • No more one way links, phantom nodes

FlexNet =>h Help File: Version #7, 10 October 1998 !!!! Commands: <A>kteull: It's a German expression for "Latest News". <B>eacon: Sysop only command, to upload beacon text. <C>onnect: Usage: "C UserCallSign V Digi" if user is a frequent user of the FlexNet Network or another Digi. ie: C K2HTX V WB2CIK-2 C KC2FD-4 V WB2CIK-2 FlexNet will remember the way back to the last 200 user stations that have passed thru this Digi. FlexNet knows the way to all Digi's in the <D *> table, regardless how many radio hop's away. Otherwise: "C UserCallSign V 1stDigi LastDigi" using the 1st Digi call where the user is know to be listening. ie: C K2HTX V WB2CIK-2 WA2PNU-2 Additional Info: See <F>ind command.
<F>ind: Attempts to connect to a user by means of a broadcast to all user ports on the network. Usage "F UserCallSign", ie: "F K2HTX" Try it several times, as works on a single ping to user... The first ping may be missed ! <H>elp: Displays this file. [Please print for future reference] <I>nfo: Displays information file about this node. <L>inks: Displays link table. As a SysOp, command to configure a link. "L *" displays each link with "RoundTripTime" history. <LO>cal: Additional connect text file, displayed only to local users, ie, those not coming in via the network. <M>ail: Connects user to nearest BBS (mailbox). As SysOp, stes same. <MH>eard: Displays last 30 direct heard callsigns with timestamp. Optionally, a port number (0..15), a callsign (with or without SSID) or a number (16...200) of entries to be listed may be given. <MO>de: SysOp only command, to configure a port. <MY>call: Gives the callsign and SSID range of the node.
