[App_rpt] okay I am making progress....

[Roger F. Jordan]

Hi,

 

            Just thought I would share my experiences with the group
concerning my efforts to get APP_RPT up and running!  Sooooo far I have it
working.but let me back up a step or two here..   I spent some considerable
time looking at distro's.  I decided on Fedora Core 7 (has everything).  I
downloaded all the config files for the repeater and the newer version of
app_rpt. then I went thru the process of getting the libpri, zaptel and
asterisk files. I used WGET to download the most up to date (As per
asterisks web site).  Loading and compiling everything went fine until.  I
went to compile asterisk with the new app_rpt.c file!!  To make a long story
short. there was an error at MAKE time that stated not to use LOCALTIME_r to
use

Ast_localtime instead!  (OK that blew me away!!!!)  soooooo I replaced the
newer app_rpt with the original app_rpt.  That did the trick. now the
compile and makes all worked! And I actually got the machine to repeat and
get dial tone. to put it bluntly I had a blast playing with the CONF files
and actually proved I could get a repeater up!!!

 

            Okay.. Now I am thirsty.. Why would the newer app_rpt not
work???  Well I found the localtime_r file and replaced them with the older
ones version  ast_localtime  oh and I had to put a ", NULL" at the end to
make it work.  Only 2 lines had to be changed. I recompiled asterisk with
the new modified app_rpt.  and it worked great!!  Actually the DTMF command
for time works now!!

 

            Okay.  here is where I can use some help..     I got iaxrpt
working with the repeater.  and actually have my Microzap td400p board
working as 2 separate repeaters that can be linked together or connected to
by iaxrpt.    But I want a little more..   I would like to know how to set
up extensions, external sip devices. and make it so that I can dial into the
asterix box and maybe get a digital attendant to give me a list of
extensions and even maybe require a dtmf password to connect to either
Repeater. or even the ability to connect to another extension. and maybe
even a conference..

 

            I am under the impression that this system can do everything
except wipe your *((&*(%.  I sure could use a hand at understanding how all
this can work with a regular phone system!

 

Best Regards,

Roger W4RFJ

 

PS.  And I could use some help on how to access the AllStar stuff too!  ;]
