[App_rpt-users] One node usbradio, a second node simpleusb

[David McGough]

Steve,

Both usbradio and simpleusb are simultaneously competing for the available 
URI's...So, you have to train both drivers as to which URI to use.

The procedure is straight-forward. This is an example for a 2 node system:

1) Fully setup the usbradio.conf and simpleusb.conf config files, each
with [usb] and [usb1] stanzas.

2) Modify the rpt.conf file to use usbradio for both nodes. Stanzas like:

rpt.conf:

[1998]
rxchannel=Radio/usb
(lots of other config)

[1999]
rxchannel=Radio/usb1
(lots of other config)

3) Start Asterisk with "asterisk -vvvvgc" and save the 
usbradio_tune_xxxx.conf files:

*CLI> radio active usb
Active (command) USB Radio device set to [usb]
*CLI> radio tune save
Saved radio tuning settings to usbradio_tune_usb.conf
*CLI> radio active usb1
Active (command) USB Radio device set to [usb1]
*CLI> radio tune save
Saved radio tuning settings to usbradio_tune_usb1.conf
*CLI> stop now

4) Modify the rpt.conf setup for simpleusb:

rpt.conf (test nodes 1998, 1999):

[1998]
rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb
(lots of other config)

[1999]
rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb1
(lots of other config)

5) Start Asterisk with "asterisk -vvvvgc" and save the
simpleusb_tune_xxxx.conf files:

*CLI>
*CLI> susb active usb
*CLI> susb tune save
Saved radio tuning settings to simpleusb_tune_usb.conf
*CLI> susb active usb1
*CLI> susb tune save
Saved radio tuning settings to simpleusb_tune_usb1.conf
*CLI> stop now

6) FINALLY--You're ready! ...Change the rpt.conf to a mix/match of 
usbradio and/or simpleusb:

rpt.conf (test nodes 1998, 1999):

[1998]
rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb
;rxchannel=Radio/usb
(lots of other config)

(lots of other config)

[1999]
;rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb1
rxchannel=Radio/usb1
(lots of other config)


7) Start Asterisk and do further setup.
