You can start the utility without a file, and it will create it for you. Then, use the Open Sec File button to edit the file.

Here is the latest file that I have. The station name must start at the beginning of the line. All other parameters can be in any order. Anything after a semi-colon (;) will be ignored. This makes it easy to temporarily suspend connection privileges just by commenting out a line.

; this is a comment

LENBIGLAPTOP, admin=yes, xmit=yes, call=Len KD0RC, ; anything here

LenBigLaptop, admin=yes, xmit=yes, call=Len KD0RC,

LEN-LAPTOP, admin=yes, xmit=yes, call=Len KD0RC,
XXXXX-XX-XXXX, xmit=no, call=Simon NV0E,

XXXXX-XX-XXXX, xmit=no, call=Simon NV0E,

XXXX-****-PI, xmit=no, call=NV0E,

XXXXXXXXXX, xmit=no, call=Simon NV0E,

With this setup, I can easily keep everyone (including my good friend Simon) out while I am operating or possibly doing some utility testing. I set myself up as admin=yes, then just click the Admin Only button.

For our local club station, the station manager has the Allow All box checked so that anyone with the SmartLink credentials (i.e. club members) can use the station. As they connect, their station names will be captured in the log and later copy/pasted into the security file. Once the first wave of club members are in the file, the Allow All checkbox will be unchecked. Going forward, club members will be instructed to connect via SmartLink, then post a note to the club manager asking for permission to use the station. At that time their info can be transferred over to the security file.
