  • Re: Areafix Rescan

    From Ross Branham@618:100/42 to Mike Powell on Fri Feb 23 13:51:04 2024
    For some software, like if your hub is running Synchronet, I have found that %RESCAN works best if sent in separate message after you add the echo. If you try to add and then rescan in the same message, in that order, for some reason it will process the rescan first anyway and tell you that you are not subscribed. Then it will process the add even
    though you had it at the top of the message.

    At least that is my experience.

    Thanks. I'll have to remember that.

    Do a %HELP command to get back a list of valid commands and

    Thanks! I didnt realize I needed to add the base on a seperate line. Areafix for Micronet(Fastecho) is a bit different than wjat I'm used
    to.

    There are slight differences in AreaFix handling in the various FTN software packages. I agree with Dan; when you first connect to a new network do an AreaFix request for %HELP. That should give you instructions and probably examples of how your link's system needs requests to be formatted for correct processing.

    I'm new to Micronet and i'm trying to do a %RESCAN without any luck.
    How do I do a %RESCAN of all areas?

    You need to contact your hub, Andrew Leary. This messag doesn't belong here.
