The permanent connection is more of a persistent connection. Using a normal connection will work but eventually the connection may drop due to internet latency (auto congest) or other reasons. If you normally are connected to another node on a full time basis then the perm connection may be desirable. What it does is keeps your node connected to the other node. If there is a loss of network connection it will re establish the connection automatically when the internet recovers. This is only true if both nodes are up an running. If a node was restarted or rebooted then the connection will have made manually. If you want the connection to be made if a node is restarted then set up a macro to establish the perm connection. Then define a startup macro in your node stanza to call the macro to connect the two nodes when the node starts. Jon VA3RQ On 12/10/2013 11:54 AM, KJ6KO wrote:
Can someone explain to me the advantage of a "Permanent Connection" and how it works? Is it supposed to auto reconnect in the event of an internet outage? Is it supposed to reconnect after a reboot? If so, a total reboot or just an ASTRES.sh restart? Thanks...Greg KJ6KO
