Getting Started
- Register
- Click Register in the top bar. Fill in your callsign, name, email and password. A verification email will be sent. After verifying your email, an administrator will activate your account.
- Sign in
- Click Sign in and enter your callsign (or email) and password.
- Profile
- After signing in, click your callsign in the top right and select Profile. Here you can edit your details and see your connected nodes.
Your Nodes
- My Nodes tab
- In your Profile, the My Nodes tab shows all nodes connected to the reflector that match your callsign. You can see node info, monitored talkgroups, CTCSS mappings, QTH, and RX/TX status.
- Node Admins
- Each node can have multiple administrators. The node owner (sysop) is always an admin. Additional admins can be added by a site administrator.
- Certificates
- Nodes need a signed certificate to connect. When your node first connects, it sends a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). An administrator will sign it, and the reflector sends the certificate to your node automatically.
Account Status
- Banned
- Your account has been suspended by an administrator. You cannot log in. The reason (if provided) will be shown at login. Contact an administrator to resolve this.
- Locked
- Your account has been temporarily locked. You cannot log in. The reason (if provided) will be shown at login. Contact an administrator.
- Unverified
- Your email has not been verified yet. Check your inbox for the verification link. If you did not receive it, contact an administrator.
Notifications
- Bell icon
- The bell icon in the top bar shows notifications. For regular users it shows account events (ban, lock, unlock). For administrators it also shows pending certificate requests and new registrations.
Navigation
- Reflector clients
- All connected nodes with real-time status, including remote nodes that arrive via a trunk. Shown as a table: Callsign (with sysop), Class, TG, Location, RX/TX, software/version and monitored talkgroups. The node currently transmitting is highlighted.
- Monitor
- Live activity monitor with Nodes and Trunks sub-views. Trunks shows each trunk link's status (Name, Status, heartbeat rx/tx, active talkgroups, Type, Qual).
- Lastheard
- Recent transmissions with callsign, talkgroup and duration — including traffic that arrives over a trunk (shown as callsign via <trunk>, with source local/trunk).
- CTCSS Table
- Reference table for CTCSS tone frequencies and talkgroup mappings.
- Map
- Geographic map showing node locations.
Trunks & Remote Nodes
- What is a trunk?
- A trunk is a link between this reflector and another reflector network (for example reflector-network.se). Talkgroup audio is exchanged across the link.
- Remote nodes
- Nodes on the other side of a trunk are relayed in and appear in the client list, Monitor and Lastheard just like local nodes. They do not log in to this reflector — only the trunk link itself is authenticated (a shared key).
- Identity
- A remote node's identity is the name it advertises over the trunk (e.g. a node name like SE-EASTCOAST). There is no separate, locally verified operator callsign for trunk traffic — the advertised name is the identity.
For Administrators
- Accounts
- Manage user accounts — edit details, ban/lock/unlock, set admin levels, reset passwords, delete accounts. Click Edit on an account to manage that user's nodes and certificates.
- Certificates
- Manage node certificates. List pending CSRs (sign or reject), and list issued certificates with details, delete/revoke, or move a certificate back to pending for re-signing.
- Control
- Reload configuration, restart or shut down the reflector service.
- Config
- View and edit the reflector configuration file (svxreflector.conf). Save changes and reload the service to apply.
