Fill in the rest of N1MM's network status window
Seven tabs now, in N1MM's order, and the messages behind them. **Options** holds what there is something behind: Log QSOs at all Stations, which decides whether the contacts the others log are kept here; the message trace, moved off the Messages tab where N1MM does not keep it; and Run1/Run2, which used to be guessed from the radio number and is now the operator's choice, sent in every `STATUS` and every `XMIT`. The transmit interlocks stay out: this program does not block a transmitter, and a station that claimed it did would be waited on for nothing. **Call Stack Targets.** A callsign heard at one station and handed to the position that will work it — `STACKANOTHERCALL` with the call alone, `STACKCALL` with the contact behind it. The target is picked from the tab or from the station list, and what arrives goes on the call stack of the radio the operator is on, sorted by whether it is a multiplier here. **The master** is the station the entry follows for cluster spots and the time. `MASTER` names it to everybody, so the column agrees everywhere. **The clock.** `TIME` carries a station's clock and Force Time Sync sends it. N1MM sets the clock from it when it is running as an administrator and says how far out it is when it is not; this program always does the second, because setting the clock needs root and a contest logger has no business asking for it. Anything over two seconds is called out. **Serial numbers.** Reset Serial Numbers at all Stations sends `RESETQSONRS` and every station starts again at one. The contacts already logged keep the numbers they were sent with. **What the entry agrees on** is now checked rather than assumed: | What | How | |---|---| | the contest | `CONTESTNAME` as soon as a connection opens, and again in every `CHECKSUM` | | the country file | its issue date — the publisher's `=VER20260826` — rides in `STATUS` | | the computer name | longer than N1MM's fifteen characters is named at startup; a second computer answering to this one's name is named when its beacon arrives | | the station number | two stations on the same number are named when the second says so | `CountryFile` reads its issue date, which nothing had asked it for before. Left for later: the master relaying its cluster spots, and the shared serial-number pool where stations claim numbers in advance.

Resynchronize a log with the other stations, and rescore it
A station that was away — a laptop that lost the network, one that was switched off — comes back missing whatever the others logged while it was gone. N1MM fills that in by walking the log an hour at a time, and this is that walk, on the same messages: | Message | What it says | |---|---| | `CHECKSUM` | here is what I hold for your contacts in this hour, and the contest and callsign I am logging | | `DELETEQS` | drop your copies of my contacts in that hour, I am sending them again | | `RESYNCQSO` | one of those contacts | | `CONFIRMED` | here is what the hour hashes to at my end — which also asks for the next hour | Each station is the authority on the contacts it made, so an hour that disagrees is replaced rather than merged. The answer to one block asks for the next, and the walk ends when the block starts after the end of the period. The Resynchronize tab counts the hours that agreed, the hours that were sent again and the hours that still disagreed, which are N1MM's columns. **`LogChecksum`** is N1MM's: a CRC32 over the `DXLOG` columns of the block, ordered by time and then callsign, leaving out what each station works out for itself — points, the three multiplier flags, the country prefix, the continent, the WPX prefix and `IsOriginal`. Two stations may disagree about those and still hold the same log. A checksum that disagrees for any other reason costs one block of traffic, which is what a resync is for. **The link still holds no log.** It asks one through `ContactLog` for the contacts of a computer in a block of time, and `SessionContactLog` answers on the window thread, because that is where the log is touched. **Every contact logged here now carries the computer that made it.** N1MM stamps `NetBiosName` and `NetworkedCompNr` on every row and this program did not, so its own contacts belonged to no station and a resync could not ask for them. **Rescore** writes the points and multiplier flags of a period back to the database. The log in memory scores itself whenever it changes; the stored rows do not, and N1MM reads them rather than working them out. A contact that arrives from another station after the one that took a multiplier leaves those columns behind. A station can also ask the others to rescore when its resync finishes, which is the flag on the end of `CHECKSUM`.

Give the network status window N1MM's tabs and columns
The window was one flat table of columns this program made up. N1MM's has tabs and a fixed set of columns, and an operator who knows one has to be able to read the other. **The window** now has Stations, Actions and Messages. Stations is a grid with N1MM's headers in N1MM's order — Computer, IP Address, Pass, Run, 10, 100, Freq, Op, Msg, Send, Receive, Band, R/M, Mode — and a row per station, this computer included. Right-click a row to pass the contact being worked to that station, to talk, to show the connection log, or to close and open its connection. Actions holds the talk line, the pass frequency, the echo and the networking switch; Messages holds the chat, the connection failures, the echo round trips and a trace of every message that arrives. **`STATUS`** is what fills those columns. N1MM sends it every few seconds whether anything has changed or not — the pass frequency, the frequency, run or search and pounce, the operator, the rates over the last ten and the last hundred contacts, the mode, the categories and the version — so a station sitting on one frequency for an hour still has a current row. `BANDMAP` only says a station moved. The five transmit-interlock flags are sent as false: this program does not block a transmitter. **`Rates.PerHour`** reads the two rate columns out of the log. Count back over the last N contacts, stop at a gap longer than the contest's minimum off time, and treat a span under a minute as a minute, so three contacts in five seconds read as 180 an hour rather than 2160. A connection closed by hand stays closed. Without that flag the next beacon opens it again within ten seconds, which makes the menu item look broken. Left out, because there is nothing behind them: N1MM's Resynchronize and Rescore tabs, the transmit interlocks of its Options tab, the Master column and the call-stacking target tab.

Show the other computers, and apply the ten-minute rule
Three pieces on top of the link: **The network status window**, on the entry window's Window menu. A row per station, this computer included the way N1MM shows it: number, address, operator, band, mode, run, transmit, pass frequency, the last message type, how long ago it arrived, the counts each way and the echo round trip. A station that broadcast the wrong version is named under the table in red — that is the one fault where everything looks connected and nothing arrives. The box at the bottom sends a line of chat, and Echo asks every station whether it is there. **Where this station is** goes out once a second when it has changed. The frequency, the mode and run have a dozen places they can change from — the radio moving, a band button, a QSY typed into the callsign box — so it is read and compared rather than announced from each of them. **The ten-minute rule.** `BandChangeRules` already counted changes and the stay on a band, and the entry window already showed the countdown, but only a user-defined contest carried a rule, so every built-in contest allowed anything. `ForCategory` gives a multi-operator entry with one or two transmitters a ten-minute stay, which is N1MM's fallback in `ContestInstance.BandChangeTimerDuration` for every contest that does not name its own. Its per-contest table is a few hundred cases in a decompiled hash switch and is not repeated. Config ▸ Edit Networked-Computer Names now covers both networks: the 12060 broadcast to other programs and the 12070 link, with the station number, the port, the version to claim and stations named by address for a network where a broadcast does not reach.
