[App_rpt] Remote setup help please.

[Steve Rodgers]

Gary,

Here's a half-duplex remote base checklist taken from a prior  [app_rpt] mail 
list thread:


1. The ARIB card needs to have the 4W/2W switch set to 2W (2 wire).

2. Only one cable should be connected from the channelbank to the ARIB card. 
This should go from the FXS port  to J1 on the ARIB card.

3. There should not be a txchannel defined in the nodes section of rpt.conf.

4. Since you are running as a remote base, you must add a 'y' argument to the 
end of the node definition, like this: 101 = radio at me.asterisk.net/101,y

5. /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf should have em_txrx for signalling on Zap/x.

6. /etc/zaptel.conf should have channel type for Zap/x set to e&m

Sample remote configuration for rpt.conf (taken from my setup):

[101]

rxchannel = Zap/x                     ; Rx audio/signalling channel
remote = ft897
functions = remote-functions
phone_functions = remote-functions

;
; Remote base function table
;

[remote-functions]
1=remote,2                              ; Set freq.
2=remote,3                              ; Set tx PL tone
3=remote,4                              ; Set rx PL tone
40=remote,100                           ; Rx PL off

42=remote,102                           ; Tx PL off
