[App_rpt-users] Understanding ilink,9 usage

[Steve Zingman]

Larry,
To send a text message from a DIAL node to a another node you will need 
to edit /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
change:  noload => app_sendtext.so to
load => app_sendtext.so and restart asterisk.
This will be fixed in future revisions of DIAL

from the asterisk cli the command would be"
CLI> rpt cmd your node number ilink 9 destination node number,"This is a 
test"

Send a text message of This is a test from node 2154 to node 2100:
rpt cmd 2154 ilink 9 2100,"This is a test"

The message has to be either 1 word or enclosed in quotes.
Notice the comma after the destination node number.

This is also valid from the cli:
rpt sendtext 2154 2100 "This is another test"

As a DTMF command, the entry for 809 wont do anything. You could have:
809 = ilink,9,2100,"Testing ..." would send a text message to node 2100
or, 809 = ilink,9,0,"Testing ..." Which would send the text message to 
all connected nodes.

Hope that helps.

73, Steve N4IRS
