Usage Instructions
After successfully starting the hydra instance the builtin command line interface will open up. This serves a the main administration tool.
To connect to another network you need to set up your own network connector interface. This is done by typing
port <PORT>
into the command line. <PORT> is the network port, on which the hydra will
listen to incoming packets.
A connection to a remote node can be established using the connect command.
connect <REMOTE_IP> <REMOTE_PORT>
<REMOTE_IP> is the address of the remote node; <REMOTE_PORT> refers to the
port on which the remote node is listening.
After the connection is established, the two nodes will exchange information about their peer network and start interconnecting to every other node inside the network.
It is possible to switch between the nodes inside the network, from the builtin command line interface.
