EMSI Data configuration dialogue box contains three pages: EMSI, Banner and AKA.
EMSI
The information about the system to be transferred in EMSI-connection. Usually it is the same as in the Nodelist.
Station Name | The system name |
Address list | Address (AKA) list of the system, divided by space |
Sysop name | System Operator' name |
Location | Geographical location of the system |
Phone | The system's data telephone number |
Flags | Nodelist flags |
Banner
Banner is the text displayed to user connected to Argus with a generic terminal program (not with FTS-mailer) to obtain some console-based service by typing an enter sequence. Banner usually contains invitation, system policies, and the list of enter-sequences.
AKA
Argus is able to transfer to a particular remote system address list that differs from specified in EMSI data table.
Remote addresses field can contain addresses and/or address masks (separated by spaces), as well as Regular Expressions. So Argus will present AKA list taken not from EMSI data table but from Local addresses field, whenever it connects with such system.
AKA replacement works on EMSI connection and on BinkP as well.
Note that the primary address of a password-protected session is considered not a first address of AKA list but the first password-protected address. There can be several addresses protected with one password though. Primary address is used to link requested files to, also during SRIF requests, and to be mentioned in binary_log
. Address filtering mechanism of Post-processors is also based on primary address.
