USB Radio
by Frank Herzog 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi, we are using an URI to connect a radio to an asterisk. To my mind the configuration of rpt.conf, usbradio.conf, iax.conf and extensions.ael is correct. We have the following problem: 1.) Outgoing radio from iaxrpt is working correct, PTT is triggered and voice is transmitted 2.) Incoming radio does not work. We get messages like "usbradio_read: rxcarrierdetect = 1" on the console but in iax (iax set debug on) we do _not_ get messages like RDKEY or RDUNKEY. Although no voice is transmitted to iax.rpt What's going wrong? Thanks in advance, Frank DOHMEN, HERZOG & Partner GmbH Soerser Weg 9 52070 Aachen Gesch?ftsf?hrende Gesellschafter Dr.-Ing.

Quad PCI Radio setup
by Iñaki Civico 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi all, i'm installing a system with Quad Radio card, but i can't find any documentation about zaptel.conf and zapata.conf files for this card. All seems to start ok but when i call rpt(${NODE}) i get this message: "rpt:Sorry unable to obtain Rx channel" In rpt.conf, rxchannel is Zap/1 and txchannel is Zap/2. I've followed zaptel.conf comments and configured channels=1-4 # cat /proc/zaptel/2 shows this: Span 2: PCIRADIO/0 "Board 1" 1 PCIRADIO/0/0 2 PCIRADIO/0/1 3 PCIRADIO/0/2 4 PCIRADIO/0/3 (Span 1 is ZTDUMMY) I don't know if channels in zapata.conf must be configured with any signalling type as with other cards like tdm400 or so. Can anybody help me or send any working example? Thanks in advance, /Iñaki Civico

There's no way for app_rpt.c to do change CTCSS tones dynamically because XPMR/chan_usbradio.c does not support this yet. There is an open Mantis feature request to add this ability to chan_usbradio/XPMR, but this work will have to be done by Jim, WB6NIL, and Steve Henke W9SH as I am not cognizant of the internal workings of this code. > 2).

app_rpt with single usb interface CPU requirements.
by Steve Gladden 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hello.. I'm looking for a little feedback on those who have experienced and used the USB sound device and realtime CPU requirements for the DSP routines.. Reading the documentation suggests that I MUST use at least a 1.3Ghz CPU for usb_chan applications. The dilemma I have is that I have a beautiful rackmount AMD Duron 1.1Ghz CPU server sitting right here that would be awesome for the application if it will keep up. It's going to be a very light use system (testing only) and single user at a time type scenario.. not multiple connections or linking to other repeaters etc. This will not be the production multiuser system. * I will be using non compressed codecs (G.711/WAV/PCM) wherever possible for voice quality Internet bandwidth is not a concern on this system. Do you think I'm still going to run into a CPU bottleneck with a 1.1Ghz CPU for this use? (I know just try it out and see... and I'm going to) haha. What part of the code eats the most CPU? I ahve a lot of experience using Asterisk 2.4 on older P2/400Mhz class systems and I have had a lot of surprising performance out of them in terms of multiple users compressed codecs (GSM/G729) trascoding meetme conferences and IAX trunks all going on at the same time without issues and seeing relatively low CPU usage considering all the activity and bridging transcoding goign on. I must admit I've never used asterisks built in inband DTMF detection because I've never been able to get it to work reliably even on a lighning fast 3.5Ghz Xeon. Might just be that I've not taken the time to work with it because RFC2833 works flawlessly for VOIP. (getting a little side tracked there sorry). Take care and THANKS for sharing your thoughts & experiences! Steve -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi All, I have a few feature requests. They are: 1). Output CTCSS only when valid input present (Local or remote), not during hang time, ID's etc. 2). Initial ID. After timer expires due to inactivity it gives a different ID than the normal 10 minute ID. (ex: Welcome to the XYZ repeater, PL 123.4 instead of CWID or other Voice ID) 3). Some way to insert a pause in to macros. Thanks in advance. 73 de Scott KB2EAR

They are only part of the install process. astupd.sh is the script you want to run, but if your system(s) are not ACID version 0.9 then you'll have to re-install from scratch. The script will refuse to do an update if the versions don't match. The helper scripts are located in: /usr/local/sbin and that should be part of the path. If it still segfaults after installing ACID 0.9, then you might want to compare configs against working and non-working nodes to see what usbradio setting(s) is causing the problem. There could be an unreported bug in chan_usbradio.c Steve WA6ZFT _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
