Specifications
The main status bar of the program displays the system messages (especially errors related to
telnet connections).
Addresses of DX-Cluster servers
Various DX-Cluster servers are accessible by Telnet. You can check the Internet for up-to-date
addresses.
Auto connection and logon at startup
Automatic connection and logon to the DX Cluster is configured under
Parameters/Preferences/Terminal/Auto Connect. Your choice of Telnet 1 or Telnet 2 is
selected by the check box next to #1 or #2 under Auto Connect. If you only specify the Host
IP, TRX-Manager connects Host, logs in after the string Login: is received and uses your
registered UserID as CallSign.
For more flexibility in the event you need to use a ssid after your call or a different
callsign, or if the cluster uses a different string (other than login:) to ask for the userid,
the command window connect string basically follows this format:
DX CLUSTER IP/TEXT GREETING FROM DX CLUSTER/YOUR CALLSIGN
In order to configure TRX-Manager, please examine carefully how you cluster ask for an
userid.
Below are examples.
1) This cluster send this string: "Please enter your call:". The syntax is:
dxcluster.no-ip.org/Please enter your call:/MyCall-7
2) This cluster send "Login:" (this is the default for trx-manager). If you don't need a specific
ssid, the syntax is only:
dxcluster.no-ip.org
3) This cluster send "Login:" (this is the default for trx-manager). But you need a specific
ssid, the syntax is:
dxcluster.no-ip.org/Login:/MyCall-3
Operation as a Client/Server
By default, the Terminal only functions as a Client and does not process connection requests.
Remarks concerning security
Telnet connections are not secured
Communicating your IP address on the network exposes you to malevolent intrusions,
