Follow these steps to configure Logger32 to be used wih the International 11 meter Cluster:
Download Logger32 from http://www.logger32.net
Install Logger32.
Start Logger32 and enter your callsign.
As you can see in the following image the DX Spot window is empty.
We need to create a connection to one of the 11 meter cluster nodes. In this example i will create a connection to node 30IR000.
From the View menu select "Show Cluster Window".
In the Cluster Window select the Telnet tab.
Right-Click somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Setup Remote Hosts" from the Setup menu.
Enter the data as shown in the image and select "Add current entry" and select "Apply".
Right-Click again somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Setup Remote Hosts" again. I don't know why this window keeps closing...
Select the node you just configured and press "Set as default shortcut".
(optional) Right-Click again somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Setup Remote Hosts" again.
(optional) Select the K4UGA entry and press "Delete current entry".
Right-Click somewhere in the Telnet window and mark "Login on program start" as checked.
Right-Click somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Connect 30IR000".
You will see that you are now connected to the cluster.
Enter your callsign after the "login:" prompt. (Don't worry. We're going to automate that later.)
Enter your password after the "password:" prompt.
You can see that you are now connected to the cluster.
But we don't want to enter our callsign and password every time we want to connect to the cluster. Let's automate that process!
Right-Click somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Setup scripts" from the Setup menu.
Enter the data as shown in the image below. Of course you need to enter your own callsign and password (if you have one).
The way it works is this: In this dialog you define how Logger32 needs to respond when a certain text is detected. This is called a "talk" script, the cluster talks, Logger32 answers. In our example Logger32 waits for the text "login:" to appear and then responds with your callsign. Then it waits for the word "password:" to appear and responds with the password you entered. Like this you can automate the login process for the cluster node to your liking. You can, for example, ask for the latest spots (sh/dx), for the latest mail (dir) or whatever command you want to send to the cluster. A list of commands can be found in the DXSpider user manual.
So now right-click in the Telnet windows and select "Connect 30IR030" again.
You can see that we are connected to the cluster and Logger32 has automatically logged us in.
Right-Click somewhere in the Telnet window and select "Show DX". This pre-defined command in Logger32 sends a "Show/DX/10" to the cluster node.
The cluster responds showing you the last 10 reported spots.
And if we switch to the DX Spots window we can see the same spots.
Congratulations! You are now ready to use Logger32 with the International 11 meter Cluster!
