svxreflector - The SvxLink conference server audio reflector

       Tobias Blomberg (SM0SVX) <sm0svx at svxlink dot org>

       The SvxReflector server is used to interconnect multiple SvxLink  nodes  into  one  network.  Traffic  is
       switched  using  talk  groups in the SvxReflector server so that all audio sent to the reflector from one
       node is retransmitted on all other nodes that have selected the same  talk  group.  Only  one  talker  is
       allowed  at a time on each talk group so if another node starts sending audio when another one is already
       active, the second node will not interrupt the first talker.

       A TCP/IP connection is used for the control messages and the audio is transported via UDP. Make  sure  to
       open  up the configured TCP and UDP ports in your firewall for incoming traffic on the server. By default
       the port number is set to 5300 for both TCP and UDP. The clients do not have to open any ports  in  their
       firewall.  Each node must have a unique user ID, typically the callsign.  It is not allowed for a client,
       using the same user ID, to connect more than one  time  to  the  server.  The  connections  are  password
       protected.

       On  the  SvxLink  node  side,  a ReflectorLogic should be used to connect to the SvxReflector server. The
       connection to the SvxReflector from other logics in that node can  be  activated  and  deactivated  using
       standard logic linking. Read more about how to set up a SvxLink node for use with the SvxReflector in the
       svxlink.conf(5) manual page.

       The  SvxReflector  offer  a  QSY  functionality  which is used to switch all active nodes to another talk
       group. This can be used to make a call on a broad talk group, like a large region or the entire  country,
       and  when the called party answers a QSY can be performed to a talk group where only the active nodes are
       included.

       HOME   Used to find the per user configuration file.

/etc/svxlink/svxreflector.conf
              The system wide configuration file. See svxreflector.conf(5) for further details.

       ~/.svxlink/svxreflector.conf
              Per user configuration file. See svxreflector.conf(5) for further details.

       /etc/svxlink/svxreflector.d/*
              Additional configuration files. This directory is setup by the CFG_DIR configuration variable.

--help Print a help message and exit.

       --daemon
              Start the SvxReflector server as a daemon.

       --runasuser
              Start SvxReflector as the specified user. The switch to the new user will happen after the log and
              pid files has been opened.

       --logfile=logfile
              Specify a log file to put all output into. Both stdout and stderr will be redirected  to  the  log
              file.

       --pidfile=pidfile
              Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.

       --config=configurationfile
              Specify which configuration file to use.
