Akris desktop is inert on initial startup. To connect to a configure your station via the console tab: 1. Set your handle (this is the name others must use for you when peering with your station):
`> handle cortes`
Enable presence reporting (this will update akris desktop when peers come online or go offline):
> knob presence.report_interval 1
Set the address cast interval (this is how often your station will broadcast its address to peers):
> knob address.cast_interval 1
Add a peer:
> peer pizarro
Generate a symmetric key to share with the peer:
> genkey
Set the peer's key:
> key pizarro <key>
Set the peer's address:
> at pizarro W.X.Y.Z:12345
If this pestnet has been around a while, you should start to see messages syncing in the 'broadcast messages' tab momentarily. If this is a new pestnet, feel free to send the first message.
