[App_rpt-users] Macro Help

Skyler,

  I am not sure what you are trying to do. I think you are using a remote Allstar node into a repeater. You can turn off CW ID just by not defining it. You can do the same with courtesy tones. So you could set duplex=1 and eliminate those if you want. Keep in mind though that legally all transmitters need to ID.  If it is your repeater then it should not be a big deal if the remote ID's. You just don't want repeater ID's to come back over the Allstar network. You want the repeater COS or tone to follow the input of the repeater NOT when the repeater transmits on its own such as when it is doing an ID.

This goes back to what I was dealing with before, my link to the remote repeater (via input frequency) requires me to use duplex=0 so I don't have to deal with it ID'ing over the repeater etc.

If I were to use duplex=1, there would be 3 constraints I would need to solve
#1- NO voice prompt comes in when I enable or disable TX PL on Input ONLY , I can't have it saying "T" "X" "P" "L" "E" "N" "A" every time I have a dtmf or macro enabling and disabling it. 

#2- After I unkey, it does this  [Wait , Courtesy beep , Wait] , I don't know what the first wait is, I know the second one is hang time. I need to delete both waits.

#3- I think pretty easy I saw some other threads on it, run macros when connected to any node, and run a macros when disconnected.

If those three constraints are solved, I can then turn duplex=0 to 1. Else, I have to stay there.

I just realized that no audio will play when Duplex=0. Telemetry works, but any system audio does not work. Is there a way to fix this?

First of all there is a way to do that automatically. Put a sound file in 

/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames/

such as   27225.ulaw   

That file would play when you connected to node 27225.

There are already some sample files in there and some groups like the WAN system have file sets you can install for many of their nodes.

To just play a sound file locally when you type a DTMF sequence do the following.... 

In the functions section of your rpt.conf file add the DTMF sequence. Note the DTMF sequence must not conflict with any other commands.

985=localplay,/tmp/some-sound-file

This would play the file when you DTMF 985. Note that you do NOT put the extent on the sound file name. No ulaw, gsm etc.  and the file must comply with the requirements for playing - sample rate, etc.

Another way to execute macro commands and a way I usually employ because it is much more flexible is to use bash scripts in the system and call them to do things. The scripts could also be called from a system cron job setup using crontab.

985=cmd,/tmp/some-script.sh

The script could be 

#! /bin/bash
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun node *327133"
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay node some-sound-file"

Replace node with your node number

This would connect your node to node 27133 and play the specified sound file locally.

These scripts could go anywhere on the system but I recommend creating a directory under /etc/asterisk - call it local or your call letters or whatever you want and put your local files there. Then if you backup the asterisk directory your local files will be backed up also. 

Remember you have to make a script you create executable for it to work -  chmod 750 filename

Im still a bit confused on how to use macros. So lets say I want to execute a command when the DTMF is dialed, lets say just a simple localplay
How would I implement that command into a DTMF sequence so I could save it as part of my macro. 

Lets say I wanted to create a macro to connect to the node 28298 and play the audio file. How would I implement the localplay command in the macros?
[mymacros]

1= (localplaycommandHere) *328298
