The SYSOP password is defined by the BPQ32.cfg PASSWORD command.
To enter SYSOP Mode, type PASSWORD
When accessed remotely, a password prompt is sent, containing 5 random numbers in the range 1 to the length of the PASSWORD string. Enter PASSWORD followed by the corresponding five letters from the password string. If entered from a local terminal or via a Telnet session with SYSOP flag set you will go straight to SYSOP mode.
For Example:
To obtain sysop status locally enter: password [command entry] TRFDX:N5IN-3} Ok [switch response] t3 [example command entry] TRFDX:N5IN-3} T3 28 [switch response] To obtain sysop status remotely enter: password TRFDX:N5IN-3} 04 10 03 07 04 password 7tzt7 [command entry] TRFDX:N5IN-3} Ok [switch response] t3 [example command entry] TRFDX:N5IN-3} T3 28 [switch response] The password command entry is case insensitive.
The following commands are supported:
Port Params
TXDELAY
MAXFRAME
FRACK
RESPTIME
PPACLEN
RETRIES
QUALITY
PERSIST
TXTAIL
XMITOFF
DIGIFLAG
DIGIPORT
MAXUSERS
VALIDCALL
L3ONLY
BBSALIAS
FULLDUP
SOFTDCD
The above display or update the corresponding parameter for a specified port,
eg PPACLEN 1 100
PERSIST 2 50
If the third parameter is omitted, the current value is displayed.
It is not currently possible to update VALIDCALLS, but you can display
the current setting.
*** Warning ***
At the moment the FRACK value is in 1/3sec units, and the TXDELAY is in
50ms units for HDLC cards, and 10ms units for KISS TNCs. I'll be sorting
this out when I get the time to rationalize the timer code, but in the
meantime, I suggest you make a note of the current values before you
start fiddling.
Also KISS users should note that the params are only sent to the TNC every
5 mins or so, so the updated values may not take effect for a while.
System Params
REMDUMP
OBSINIT
OBSMIN
NODESINT
L3TTL
L4RETRIES
L4TIMEOUT
T3
NODEIDLETIME
LINKEDFLAG
IDINTERVAL

The above display or update the corresponding Node parameter.
System Commands
FINDBUFFS Used to help track down missing buffers if the buffer count goes very low.
Normally should only be used if I request it
GETPORTCTEXT Re-read your Port CTEXT files. See Port Specific CTEXT
KISS p c v Send KISS command/value pair (eg for setting TXDELAY).
Parameters are port, command and value (all in decimal)
NODE ADD ALIAS:CALL QUAL NEIGHBOUR
Add ALIAS:CALL to your Nodes table with Quality QUAL and Next Hop Node NEIGHBOUR
NODE DEL CALL Delete CALL from NODES Table
RECONFIG
REBOOT
ROUTES
To update an entry, enter ROUTES Call Port Params
eg ROUTES G8BPQ-2 2 100 - Set quality to 100
ROUTES G8BPQ-2 2 ! - Toggle 'Locked Route' flag
ROUTES G8BPQ-2 2 100 ! - Set quality and toggle 'locked' flag
SAVEMH
SAVENODES
SENDNODES
STOPCMS p - Disable CMS acess on Telnet Port p.
STARTCMS p - These can be used to simulate CMS or Internet outage.
STOPPORT n - Close or reopen Port n. Enables another program to use the port
STARTPORT n - to allow the tnc to be reconfigured without closing the node
TELReconfig p ALL
TELReconfig p USERS
Reconfigure Telnet Port p. ALL does a conmplete reconfig and disconnects users. This is equivalent to
EXTRESTART p 1. USERS just re-reads the USER records from bpq32.cfg.

Display information from your WINLINK 2000 SYSOP record, or create a basic record if you don't
have one.
