AXCTL(8) Linux System Managers Manual AXCTL(8)
NAME
axctl - Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.
SYNOPSIS
axctl [-v] port dest src -window|-t1|-t2|-t3|-n2|-idle|-paclen|-kill
[parm]
DESCRIPTION
The axctl command is designed to be a multi-function command that
allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol
layer for existing AX.25 connections. The connection is uniquely iden-
tified via the combination of port, destination callsign and source
callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the param-
eters, or abort(3,7) the connection.
Many of the options are similar to those found in(1,8) axparms and perform
the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each invokation
of axctl.
OPTIONS
-v Displays the version(1,3,5) number.
-window window Sets the window size for the AX.25 connection.
-t1 t1-timeout Sets the initial T1 timeout(1,3x,3x cbreak) value for the AX.25
connection, the value is given in(1,8) seconds.
-t2 t2-timeout Sets the T2 timeout(1,3x,3x cbreak) value for the AX.25 connection,
the value is given in(1,8) seconds.
-t3 t3-timeout Sets the T3 timeout(1,3x,3x cbreak) value for the AX.25 connected,
the value is given in(1,8) seconds.
-n2 n2-count Sets the maximum number of tries for the AX.25 con-
nection.
-idle idle-timeout Sets the value for the idle timer for the AX.25
connection, the value is in(1,8) minutes.
-paclen paclength Sets the maximum packet length that may be trans-
