The user config options are: Long Name, Short Name, and Is Licensed. User config uses an admin message sending a `User` protobuf.
|
|
|
|
## User Config Values
|
|
|
|
### Long Name
|
|
|
|
A personalized name for your device.
|
|
|
|
Auto-generated by default.
|
|
|
|
If you are a licensed HAM operator and have enabled `IsLicensed`, this should be set to your HAM operator call sign.
|
|
|
|
### Short Name
|
|
|
|
A personalized short identifier for your device.
|
|
|
|
Auto-generated by default.
|
|
|
|
### Is Licensed (HAM)
|
|
|
|
If you are a licensed HAM operator and have considered the [privileges and restrictions](/docs/faq/#amateur-radio-ham) of using Meshtastic with a HAM license, enable this flag.
|
|
|
|
Disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
By enabling `IsLicensed`, you should also review the following related configurations:
|
|
|
|
- **User:** `LongName` (Should be your Call Sign)
|
|
- **Channel:** `PSK` (Should be Empty, removing encryption)
|
|

|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
Because the device will reboot after each command is sent via CLI, it is recommended when setting multiple values in a config section that commands be chained together as one.
