<markdown> # appsettings.json Config File
MBBSEmu uses a standard JSON format Application Settings file for all configuration values. By default, MBBSEmu will look in its current directory for this file. You can specify a custom appsettings.json file using the `-S <fileName>` command line switch.
## Configuration Values
`BBS.Title` : `string` : Correlates to `MAJORBBS→bbsttl`. Some Modules make use of this configuration value to display the name of the Bulletin Board system to the users.
`BBS.Channels` : `int` : Set the maximum number of channels (users) that can use the system simultaneously
`Cleanup.Time` : `string` : Sets the time of day (24-hour) when the “Nightly Cleanup” will execute. Example Format: `03:00` for 3AM
`GSBL.BTURNO` : `string` : Correlates to `GSBL→bturno`. This is the registration # for your MajorBBS/Worldgroup instance and is used by many modules to generate a unique module registration/activation code for your Bulletin Board System.
`GSBL.BTURNO.<moduleIdentifer>` : `string` : Correlates to `GSBL→bturno` for the specified module. Many sysops over the years had registered copies of MajorBBS 6.25, Worldgroup 2.0, or even consolidated Bulletin Board Systems from other sysops which all had valid & legal registrations. The problem is the registration numbers or unlock codes for these modules are bound to a specific Activation #.
Using this option, you're able to specify a unique `bturno` that the module will receive. This way you're able to play a Module you purchased for your MajorBBS 6.25 system, as well as a Module you purchased later with your Worldgroup 2.0 system even though their registration or unlock codes are tied to different BBS Activation Numbers.
`Module.DoLoginRoutine` : `bool` : Specifies if users logging into the system should be displayed the “Login Routine” for the modules currently running
`Telnet.Enabled` : `bool` : Specifies if the Telnet Server is enabled
`Telnet.Port` : `int` : Specifies which port the Telnet Server should bind to
`Telnet.Heartbeat` : `bool` : Specifies if the Telnet Server should send a “heartbeat” to the client at a regular interval (NOTE: Can cause issues with MegaMud but help other clients that disconnect when there are extended periods of no activity)
`Rlogin.Enabled` : `bool` : Specifies if the Rlogin Server is enabled
`Rlogin.Port` : `int` : Specifies which port the Rlogin Server should bind to
`Rlogin.RemoteIP` : `string` : Specifies the Remote IP of the instance to be permitted to connect via Rlogin to MBBSEmu
`Rlogin.PortPerModule` : `bool` : Specifies if each module should be given it's own port. This allows Rlogin connections to be directly connected into a Module without having to go through the menuing system. This enables Sysops running systems such as Mystic to have their users directly enter a Module such as Tele-Arena as if it were running locally.
The port numbers for the `Rlogin.PortPerModule` setting will start after `Rlogin.Port`. Modules and their assigned Rlogin Ports will be displayed on the console at startup for your information.
`Database.File` : `string` : Filename of the SQLite database used by MBBSEmu for user account information
`Account.DefaultKeys` : `list` : List of keys (used for access to modules/features) assigned to every new account created (Examples: 'DEMO' and 'NORMAL') – Some modules require “USER” or “PAYING” by default, check the .msg file with each module to edit/change configuration of needed keys.
`ANSI.Login` : `string` : Filename for a custom Login ANSI file (Displayed before sign in)
`ANSI.Logoff` : `string` : Filename for a custom Logoff ANSI file (Displayed while logging off)
`ANSI.Signup` : `string` : Filename for a custom Signup ANSI file (Displayed when creating an account)
`ANSI.Menu` : `string` : Filename for a custom Main Menu ANSI file (Replaces default menu)
