[App_rpt] Newbie in Asterisk
by Νιαγάσας Αγγελος 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

Hello to the group, I just install a new Asterisk system in order to be used as controller of a radio shack. I install Suse Linux ver. 10.1 with Kernel 2.6 I install Asterisk-1.2.14 including app_rpt with a TDM400P with 2 FXS daughter boards. I wiil use the simplex interface as described at http://www.hamwlan.net/images/FXS-SIMPLEX-RADIO-V2.jpg in order to interconnect a series of simplex UHF radio to create a network. Trying to test the system I hooked 2 analog telephone sets replacing the radio interfaces. Using information send from your very helpful friend Francois BERGERET (f6hqz-m(a)hamwlan.net) I made adjustments to the pertinent files as follows: # zaptel.conf e&m=1-2 loadzone=us defaultzone=us # #EOF # Meaning 2 FXS ports configured as E&M signalling. ;zapata.conf [channels] callwaitingcallerid=no echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes echotraining=no relaxdtmf=yes adsi=off usercallerid=yes callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 group=1 signalling=em_rxtx immediate=yes context=channel1 channel=1 context=channel2 channel=2 Meaning 2 FXS ports signalling = em_rxtx and immediate = yes ;rpt.conf [1999] ; Node ID of remote base rxchannel = Zap/1 ; Rx audio/signalling channel remote = n duplex=0 [1998] rxchannel = Zap/2 remote = n duplex=0 [functions-remote] [telemetry] [morse] [nodes] 1999 = radio(a)127.0.0.1/1999 1998 = radio(a)127.0.0.1/1998 [memory] ;extensions.conf [general] static=yes writeprotect=no autofallthrought=yes [globals] [default] [channel1] exten => s,1,rpt(1998|D) exten => s,n,Hangup [channel2] exten => s,1,rpt(1999|D) exten => s,n,Hangup With the above configuration we tried to configure the system as to automatically call the other set each time the one goes Off Hook. But this was my desire. Unfortunately the system is fully silent. When I modified the line in zapata.conf from signalling=em_rxtx to signalling=em the system started to call as expected. Substituting the telephone sets with the radio interfaces, making a test I have the following situation: 1. Incoming call is answered OK. = PTT is energized 2. Initiating side receives a ring back condition. As consequence I loose the capability to release the line using the COR/BUSY control. Making measurements at the RING/TIP pair I found that incoming call reverses the polarity of the line and stays at this condition until the line is released some how. At the initiating side (Rx) the polarity is RING - TIP = -48V at idle. When COR/BUSY control change state the Opto opens and the call is initiated. But after some milliseconds polarity reverses causing the receive opto to open and the system is in answer condition. In order to release the line I have to disconnect manually the RJ45 from the board. Is any one to help me?

Hello to the group, Is there some sort of log file established while one is in the command mode. Just to see or confirm what dtmf digit were passed? I hope the question make sense? if not I'll try again. Thanks Will / W4WWM

[App_rpt] Alien Interfaces
by Will Wright 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Hello Jim, Jim, I must say the information is good but I'm still not sure If I understand all of it. So, here's my crack at it's working. The controllers are alien to app_rpt, this I thought was real neat and did have me chuckling a bit hi hi. Controller A, B or C better know as alien interfaces that should be given a node number? If so, do I assign them just for the local system? Or is it assign by the Allstar Linking System? I will then set up a stanza in rpt.conf defining the node such as: [443] duplex=0 propagate=yes linktolink=yes inxlat=#443,#444,0123456789ABCD outxlat=*7,*0.0123456789#ABCD Would I establish another stanza and node number for controller B, and C (Alien interfaces) hi hi How would the command mode be entered or define? Is it *40 on all sysytem, I hope I'm not too far off on how this all work. But it look like I will need some help. Thanks Jim, you really did a great job on the paper. I just need more help to understand it. Thanks Will / W4WWM

Just have some issues with DTMF tones at the right levels (I think). I can DTMF in from the repeater and get the Asterisk Controller (ARIB) to respond on the time, the version and the repeat only audio. But cannot connect to a few nodes that I have connected to before. Oh maybe my IP some how is at fault. Hmmmmm, Maybe my DTMF levels at this location on the controllers are to low. Also, I can not hear my call sign when it is announce, but I do see it on the CLI when announce. Anyone have any ideas? Anyway, thanks again for responding and Jim I hope you are feeling better.

If you have remote Asterisk nodes, they all need to be set to pass dtmf link to link. There is no real documentation that I know of on this.

Yes, I need to send DTFM to controller B. Asterisk is on controller B wired the repeater port as of the few last e-mail post. On controller B there are 3 link ports, port 1 is 2 meters, port 2 is IRLP(node4516) and port 3 is the half duplex link (hard wired} to Controller A. If possible I would like Asterisk to send DTMF to control the links. I would also have the IRLP program to send DTMF tones back to Asterisk for linkup to any Asterisk nodes, via from Controller A Controller A is bridged or Hardwired by way of port 3 to Controller B port 3. One side of my controls will be coming from Controller A to Controller B and the other from B to C Anyway if you like you can give me a call on my IRLP node 4516 any time.

You can tell I was sorta getting slap happy near the end (with my dry humor). Interfacing Alien Worlds (or linked systems at least) When given the task of providing usable communications between alien worlds, one first must analyze the similarities and differences between them. Then you need to find the most efficient way of dealing with the differences. One of these 'worlds' is the 'conventional' radio system based on controllers that have a 'common link path', that is where controllers are linked together thru permanent RF links connected to a controllers "link" port(s) and to provide linking between repeater systems (connected to "repeater" ports on their associated controller(s)), the controller opens an audio and control channel between the repeater's port and the link's port. In this manner, several repeaters on one controller (each on their own repeater ports) and one or more links to other controllers (each on their own link ports) a multiple repeater linked network can be created. Each node has DTMF commands that it can do. Generally, there is some standard for the repeater functions on each node, and therefore some standard form (digit-wise) for these commands. There is also provided some form of being able to command a node (not your local repeater, but another one on the link) that, by its very nature differs from the commands for local node use (non-conflicting digit sequences, etc). One common example of this is to start local commands with an asterisk (*). Remote node commands start with a pound (#) plus the node number. Say, for example, you wanted to ask you local system what time it is. You might enter *98 on your local repeater, but to ask another node (in this example node 123), you might enter (#12398). This is a practical example of local/distant control differentiation, since by convention, all local commands start with (*) and all link (distant) commands start with (#). >From a technical standpoint, its also an easy an practical way to implement controllers and links. A link port has a DTMF receiver listening for its 'addressing' code (like #123, in the example above). When it hears it, it listens for the rest of the command, and does the appropriate thing. All link ports have a DTMF receiver listening to the same audio (well, they're linked together, of course), but only the proper one reacts (based upon the prefix code). When you have a fixed link (and often single path link) system, this is an excellent and time-proven design. Many, if not all of the amateur repeater controllers are currently based on this type of archetecture. App_rpt (Allstar, etc) definitely walks to the beat of a different drummer. First of all, there are no 'hard' or 'permanent' links. Since the linking media is TCP/IP, thus allowing connections from basically anywhere to anywhere, links are completey dynamic and at will. Any node can theoretically be connected to any node in any fashion. Several sets of links (not connected to each other) may be operating at any given time. Yes, the software does support the concept of 'establish a link and keep putting back up if it goes down'; Even these are 'soft' links. Additionally, since the link media is TCP/IP, out-of-band data may be sent between link endpoints, thus eliminating the need (or even the desire, for that matter) for in-band (such as DTMF) signalling between link endpoints. There are 2 very serious archetectural differences between app_rpt and a 'conventional' system. The first one is that all system endpoints including repeaters, remote bases, and alien system interfaces, are separate nodes (and have separate node numbers assigned to them). Normally, a remote base is part of a repater system. Not here. A remote base is a separate independent entity. The second one is that you have to essentially 'speak' to a remote node to give it commands. Unlike a conventional system where all of the link entities are on a common talk path, and all have DTMF receivers decoding all of your digits, you have to put your local system into remote command mode (to a particular node), then all the DTMF you send will go to the remote node, rather then being interpreted by the local system. Thats now app_rpt performs differentiation between local and remote commands. All app_rpt commands begin with (*) asterisk. The (#) pound is used to exit things, like for example to exit command mode. Obvoiusly, since all commands start with (*) and cant contain (#), when youre in local command mode it knows what to send to the remote, and when youre done with it. So, whether you are controlling another repeater, a remote base, or an alien network, you have to invoke command mode to the node that you are intending to control. Interface from app_rpt to an alien network is accomplished via a node configured as a repeater in duplex mode 0, and the propagate_dtmf and linktolink options both enabled. Clearly there exists a very serious incompability in the concepts of DTMF command format and archetecture. First of all, the app_rpt needs to respond as if it were another link node, listening for its prefix code, then acting appropriately. This can be accomplished with the inxlat configuration directive. First, there needs to be a sequence, which is to be 'turned into' a (*) as far as the app_rpt is conerned, and also one that is to be 'turned into' a (#) as far as the app_rpt is concerned (you cant use a real * or # since so many of the alien's commands have these characters in them). So, you assign it a node number, say 456. So the sequence 4561 can represent *, and the 4562 can represent # ( or you can assign 2 different prefixes, like 456 and 457 if you want it to be 1 digit less), but in any case you put in something like : inxlat = #456,#457,0123456789ABCD That would mean: #456 is like (*), #457 is like (#), and just pass any of the listed digits in the 3rd arg, if they are not part of a command. Now that we have that settled, the app_rpt node needs to send commands to the rest of the link as if it were one of them, meaning prefixed commands. As we already know, the normal (app_rpt) commands on the node that is connected to the alien system start with (*) and cant contain (#) (thats how we do it in app_rpt). so we need to be able to 'create' a way to send a (*) and (#) out the node. So we use outxlat, as follows: outxlat = *7,*0,0123456789#ABCD This means that *7 get sent out to the alien system as a (*), *0 gets sent out as a (#), and pass any of the digits listed in the 3rd arg if not part of a local command. So, say the ailen system was on allstar node 123. We then want to command the alien's node 765 to do a *98 (like give us its local time). On your local node you might enter: *4123 (to put you into command node on 123, which is the alien system) *076598 (to do the same as if you were entering #76598 on the alien system directly on one of its repeaters) # (to exit command mode on your local node) These two pieces of translation allow the systems to communicate with each other very nicely and with minimum hassle and/or discomfort for users of either system type.

[App_rpt] Asterick controller to a CAT controller
by Will 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

>>Are you are trying to send DTMF from the asterisk system to the Controller B? Yes, I need to send DTFM to controller B. Asterisk is on controller B wired the repeater port as of the few last e-mail post. On controller B there are 3 link ports, port 1 is 2 meters, port 2 is IRLP(node4516) and port 3 is the half duplex link (hard wired} to Controller A. If possible I would like Asterisk to send DTMF to control the links. I would also have the IRLP program to send DTMF tones back to Asterisk for linkup to any Asterisk nodes, via from Controller A Controller A is bridged or Hardwired by way of port 3 to Controller B port 3. One side of my controls will be coming from Controller A to Controller B and the other from B to C Anyway if you like you can give me a call on my IRLP node 4516 any time. Thanks Will / W4wwm

[App_rpt] DTMF tones not passing to connec to oether nodes
by Will 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Gary or Jim, I see back in October there was a discussion about passing dtmf tones and the use of the command line mode. I'm wondering would that be the issue here? As you know, I have the asterisk Controller setup on the repeater port controller B. My repeater (uhf) is on controller A, repeater port 2. On the third port it is bridge or hardwired to Controller B link port. I can send tones over from the controller A and get the asterisk node to respond to command such as *7, *81, and *82, but cannot get the dtmf tones to respond to distant nodes. Could this be the same case where I would have to use the command line mode to pass the dtmf tones through? If so what or how I could execute this command? or tell me where I can read about it more in depth. Thanks Will / W4WWM Will / W4WWM

[App_rpt] Asterisk Controller and the CAT Controller
by Will Wright 07 Dec '06

Thanks Jim and Gary, I did leave the switch in the 4 wire position and it is now working. Just have some issues with DTMF tones at the right levels (I think). I can DTMF in from the repeater and get the Asterisk Controller (ARIB) to respond on the time, the version and the repeat only audio. But cannot connect to a few nodes that I have connected to before. Oh maybe my IP some how is at fault. Hmmmmm, Maybe my DTMF levels at this location on the controllers are to low. Also, I can not hear my call sign when it is announce, but I do see it on the CLI when announce. Anyone have any ideas? Anyway, thanks again for responding and Jim I hope you are feeling better. Will / W4WWM
