[App_rpt] Remote Base?
by Gary Young 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Does anyone know where I can get a Doug Hall RBI-1 interface? They are no longer in production. Also is the FT897 the only radio supported with a Quad PCI board, or are there other radios with the same command structure? Thanks, Gary

Thanks Steve, it's all working now. I can now key the transmitter with iaxrpt. Thanks again. By the way, I am working to bring the new controller on line. It has three full duplex ports. Anyway take care. 73 Will / W4WWM

[App_rpt] Setup the iaxrpt software radio base station
by Will Wright 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Steve, Yes sir, I followed the instructions to the tee and have set up the stanza in both the extensions and the iax.conf script plus ran extensions reload. Here's the CLI> No registration for peer 'gui' (from 192.168.1.100) CLI> Rejected connect attempt from 192.168.1.100, who was trying to reach '2059@'. On my LAN I have the app_rpt box at 192.168.103 and the running win2000 on 192.168.1.100. According to the first messages is that I'm not registered. But I have place all the required information in the iaxrpt software. ie account = 2059, users = gui, host = 192.168.1.103 and the password and confirmed password. I wonder is the gui holding the information?

Will, You need to add a stanza in iax.conf and context in extensions.conf to allow iaxrpt connections in. Here's what I use (password changed to protect the innocent)-- iax.conf: ; Gui users [gui] type=user context=radio-gui auth=md5 secret=yoursecret host=dynamic disallow=all allow=gsm notransfer=yes extensions.conf: [radio-gui] exten => 2010,1,rpt(2010|X) Steve. > > From: Will <w4wwm(a)knology.net> > Date: 2006/10/21 Sat AM 12:22:58 PDT > To: app_rpt(a)lists.illiana.net > Subject: [App_rpt] Setup the iaxrpt soft radio base station > > Steve, > > In the iaxRPT account setup for connection to my app_rpt node, 2059, > step ( 4) is in question.

[App_rpt] Setup the iaxrpt soft radio base station
by Will 21 Oct '06

Steve, In the iaxRPT account setup for connection to my app_rpt node, 2059, step ( 4) is in question. Could you tell me where or what parameter in the iax.conf will the password be set? Or how to set it? I don't think a password was set in the config script. In the Accounts dialog box, Add a new account and then: 1. Set the Account Name field to the node number you wish to connect to. 2. Set the Host field to the host IP address or FQDN you wish to connect to. 3. Set the Username field to gui ***4. Set the Password and Confirm fields to the password you set in iax.conf.

[App_rpt] app_rpt setup and requirements.
by Eric Fort 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

Hopefully those on the list can answer a few questions about getting app_rpt setup and what is really required. 1. why is the arib needed and what exactly does it do? 2. Why do I need 2 fxs ports for full duplex operation? my phone is full duplex when plugged into the same port why can't the audio for the radio be? Come to think of it I can buy a little phone with a headset jack for next to nothing and have seperate tx (mike) and rx (speaker) audio. this just takes a 2 to 4 wire hybrid common to most phones. why do I need the arib at all? 3. Why do I need the arib at all? 4. is the rbi-1 really needed? what function does it serve? I've seen mention of using an ft-897 directly without it. How is this done? why hf only for the 897 when the 897 covers hf, 6m, 2m, and 440? 5. what about interfacing other radios used for repeaters such as micor, maxtrack, etc. Thanks, Eric - kg6kqt

[App_rpt] Advisory: Changing the courtesy tones
by Steve Rodgers 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Advisory To change the courtesy tones from defaults it is necessary to have a telemetry=telemetry statement defined in each node configuration block in rpt.conf The default configuration files distributed with asterisk DO NOT have this statement in them. If the statement is left out, the courtesy tone lists in rpt.conf in the telemetry section will never be read in, and the defulat settings in app_rpt.c will always be used. Steve. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: Test results - Found the problem? Date: Tuesday 10 October 2006 20:38 From: "Gary" <gary(a)tcomeng.com> To: "'Steve Rodgers'" <hwstar(a)rodgers.sdcoxmail.com> By looking at the code you referenced I discovered the possible need for a 'telemetry = telemetry' statement in the node definition. As soon as I added that line the tones changed from default to the ones defined in the config file. I am going to assume this was the problem and it is supposed to work that way so you can define different telemetry for each node? FYI my sample config did not have that line in it and there is no reference I have found indicating it is required. Thanks for your help.

[App_rpt] Fwd: Re: Telemetry tones change?
by Steve Rodgers 09 Oct '06

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [App_rpt] Telemetry tones change? Date: Monday 09 October 2006 19:13 From: Steve Rodgers <hwstar(a)rodgers.sdcoxmail.com> To: pcfrover(a)tcomeng.com Gary, I just tested this on my system, and it works as advertised I can switch these two statements in rpt.conf: ;remotetx=|t(1633,0,50,3000)(0,0,80,0)(1209,0,50,3000); remotetx=|t(2000,0,50,3000)(0,0,80,0)(1000,0,50,3000); Restarting asterisk or doing "rpt reload" after changing the lines above will cause the remotetx courtesy tone to change. Could you be confused about the function of the remoterx and remotemon courtesy tones defined in the telemetry block? The remotetx courtesy tone is that courtesy tone which is sent when an internet link to a node (remote base or repeater) is connected in trancieve to a remote node on the node you are coming in on from the radio. The remotemon courtesy tone is that courtesy tone which is sent when an internet link to a (remote base or repeater) is connected in monitor to a remote node on the node you are coming in on from the radio. The repeater courtesy tone to play when unlinked (no repeaters or remote linked) is determined by the unlinkedct setting in the node configuration block. This is set to point to ct1 in the default rpt.conf configuration file. It can be set to point to any courtesy tone defined in the telemetry block. Finally, there is one last courtesy tone which is used only for the remote base when it is in tranceive mode and is played following the remotetx courtesy tone when there is a remote base connected to the node you are coming in on AND it is in tranceive mode. This is the remotect setting in the node configuration block. This is set to point to ct3 in the default rpt.conf configuration file. It can be set to point to any courtesy tone defined in the telemetry block. There are no other courtesy tones for the remote base which can be changed in the latest version of app_rpt.c Hope this clears up any confusion.
