NAME
     svxreflector - The SvxLink conference server audio reflector

SYNOPSIS
     svxreflector  [--help] [--daemon] [--logfile=log file] [--config=configura-
     tion file] [--pidfile=pid file] [--runasuser=user name]

DESCRIPTION
     The svxreflector server is used to interconnect multiple SvxLink nodes into
     one network. All audio sent to the reflector from one node is retransmitted
     on all other connected nodes. Only one talker is allowed at a  time  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, typi-
     cally 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 pass-
     word 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.
