Spot collector question
Charles Morrison
I use ARUser to connect to a cluster, makes it easy to set filters and such.
I then start either Writelog during a contest or Spot Collector during non contest times, and set them to connect to my local copy of ARUser. Is there a way to have Spot Collector NOT disconnect my ARUser session when it closes? Just have it disconnect from the local aruser, instead of sending the bye, which then disconnects ARUser from the cluster? Thanks Charlie KI5XP |
Even if SpotCollector didn't send the "Bye" or terminate the TCP/IP
connection, Windows would automatically close the TCP/IP connection when SpotCollector terminates. A shared TCP/IP connection would require developing a third application that manages the connection on behalf of its two clients, SpotCollector and ARUser. Out of curiousity, when you're running SpotCollector, why are you running ARUser? 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., "Charles Morrison" <cfmorris@...> wrote: and such.

I dont see how its a shared tcp/ip connection though. ARUser connects to
the cluster on port 23 (or special port if necessary) and then Spot collector connects to loopback on port 7300. The connection to ARUser from Writelog's packet telnet will sever the connection with ARUsers telnet daemon, but wont kill ARUsers session to the cluster. Data received by ARUser from the cluster is forwarded to whatever application is currently connected to it. The reason I use ARUser is because its extremely easy to set the filters, it gives me an idea of the status of the cluster (nodes and users), a simple interface for reading messages, and a convenient way to do announcements and chats with other users. Also, if Im playing in a contest, I dont have any of the DXLab apps open, i'll have only Writelog or WL/MMTTY. So instead of having 2 users connected to the cluster I connect to the loopback daemon on ARUser. Its only recently that I started the forray into SpotCollector. So instead of using a variety of connections to different clusters, I just configured SC to connect to the loopback. I guess the rest is just habit. Its a nice program, it also offers some things that I havent found or didnt look for in any of the DXLab apps yet. Old habits are hard to break! :) Charlie KI5XP _____ From: dxlab@...

DXLabLauncher, I would use it instead of SpotCollector. It's gorgeous, it's incredibly simple to use, it's easy to read, easy to control filters, easy to "recapture" info - the list goes on. I haven't figured out exactly how to use it with DXLabs so I've currently stopped using it. Art - K4IRS --- In dxlab@..., "Dave Bernstein" <aa6yq@...> wrote:

Thanks, Rick.
I didn't correlate "ARUser" with VE7CC's cluster interface -- which I have seen before. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., Rick Ellison <rellison@...> wrote: up controlwith nothing beside a couple of references in Usenet postings. filters, easy to "recapture" info - the list goes on.TCP/IP |
