[wt4hq] Bridgehead bug

[Oliver Huber]

Hi.

 

After a couple of tests the last days with WT 3.27 and new tunnel client 1.10 I am still confused on what really is the best (or correct) setting for any given PC in a big IARU HQ setup.

 

Can anyone tell me HOW you set up your WT.INI´s on the following computers:

 

a) PC with WT3.27, tunnel1.10 (only one tunnel per LAN and QTH should be active, correct?) that connects to the WAN, thus the WTserver

 

b) PC with WT3.27 and only connected to the LAN

 

My idea:

In case a) I would say BridgeHead=1 and in case b) BridgeHead=0 (or you might not add the line BridgeHead=0 to the WT.INI as this should be the same function??!).

On all PC´s in the WAN and LAN logsynch (under menu options) has to be activated of course.

I guess only one tunnel-client should be active at one QTH (even if there are 10 PC´s in the LAN).

 

The problem:

We get different QSO-counts and multis get lost if a QTH disconnects for some time from the WAN.

The goal of any logsynch should be that at all times (including disconnects and reconnects of QTH´s) the logs are updated with all QSO done on ANY PC in the WAN and ANY PC in the different LANs.

 

A bad scenario would be that a QTH has to shut down operation due to heavy thunderstorm - and then after some hours has to reconnect to the server. If (for whatever reason) not a single station, that remained in the WAN, is logging a contact, then no QSO at all is forwarded to the station that was QRT (thus disconnected from the server) for a long time. Eventually if a station in the WAN logs a QSO, then the missing QSO are forwarded to the re-joined station. And even then it´s only the QSO from that particular PC. It seems to me that each PC in the WAN (including LAN) has some sort of identifier and only after one more QSO is logged will the rejoined station get the missing QSO done by that particular PC that sent the first QSO after rejoining the WAN.

 

But what happens if the LAN has let´s say 3 different logging PC - then only a small amount of QSO is updated on the rejoining stations PC. It seems that EVERY single PC in the WAN(including LAN) has to enter at least one QSO, so definitely ALL QSO are updated on the rejoining PC (rejoining to the WAN).

 

Can someone please let us know on the exact configuration for the PC in case a) and b) ???

 

THANK YOU!
