Experimental IRLP Reflectors
by Matt Beasant 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi all, How do I get my ACID asterisk node, which is running chan_irlp quite successfully, to be able to call the IRLP experimental reflectors? I see from the IRLP yahoo group that there are some different scripts used to set up calls to these experimental reflectors - can / is this incorporated into the chan_irlp driver? Thanks for any info / advice, Kind regards, Matt G4RKY

Zap Autopatch
by Tim Sawyer 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Well, I was hoping I could figure this out but no luck yet. I'm attempting to get out bound calls working. The TDM410 card is working thanks to Jim. I'm getting dial tone twice, once after *6 and once after entering the phone number. But I don't hear DTMF dialing. I really haven't changed much except extensions.conf as follows: [default] ; exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${VOIPTERM}/${EXTEN}, 40,L(180000:30000)) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1,20/${EXTEN}) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Hangup Obviously that's not the entire answer... if even the partial answer. Thanks to the list once again, -- Tim :wq

Transmit audio filtering
by Don Russell 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

I have an audio file that is an MDC1200 "ffff all call" page. I used to be able to play it and set decode properly on the radios. I was trying to get the attention of one of my users who has an mdc radio. At some point one of the updates seems to have started filtering playback of tones. Same thing when someone keys up, the mdc tones don't pass through the system. Is there any way to turn off or adjust the filtering so they will pass again? Don

Repeat on/off states
by Darrell Wick 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Goal: Establish local repeat on/off states Definition: In the repeat 'on' state, the local receiver repeats to the local transmitter as do any links. In the 'off' state, the local transmitter does not transmit. The intent is to switch to the off state after a period of local transmitter inactivity, terminating any active links at that time. Switching back to the on state would require either a local DTMF code or receipt of an incoming link connection. Several approaches were tried to achieve this. At first it was hoped the controlstates rptena/rptdis would work, but examining app_rpt.c (V0.199), it appears rptdis is a synonym for the system disable cop command 3 (both set txdisable = 1)(while rptena appears to be slightly different than the system enable cop command 2). Further, txdisable = 1 prevents incoming link connections, thus preventing new link connections changing the state from off to on. There doesn’t appear to be an activity timer for the local transmitter, but the link activity timer does provide a usable timer function, so long as this node always establishes a link when switching to the on state. Any suggestions or help much appreciated.

Two Node Problem
by Tim Sawyer 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Now that I have a second node registered, I'm having problems connecting to any Allstar nodes including to my other node. I get the function complete, the proper spoken connect message, and a single beep courtesy beep which used to be a double beep. But no audio or carrier comes out the other end when I key up. The other end doesn't speak a connect message either, but it does speak a disconnect message. Is the single beep courtesy tone indicating a problem? I'm thinking maybe I screwed up my dial plan. It looks like this... [globals] VOIPTERM=yourprovider HOMENPA=714 ; NODE=2528 [default] exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${VOIPTERM}/${EXTEN}, 40,L(180000:30000)) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Hangup [radio-secure] ; exten => ${NODE},1,rpt,${NODE} exten => 2528,1,rpt,2528 exten => 2535,1,rpt,2535 Thanks, -- Tim, WD6AWP :wq

Registration Refused
by Tim Sawyer 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm setting up a second node for the first time and it won't register. /etc/asterisk/iax.conf: [general] register=A2528:0xxxxx@register.allstarlink.org register=A2529:0xxxxx@register.allstarlink.org /var/log/astersik/messages: [Aug 25 05:41:57] NOTICE[16131] chan_iax2.c: Registration of 'A2529' rejected: 'Registration Refused' from: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' [Aug 25 05:42:47] NOTICE[16129] chan_iax2.c: Registration of 'A2529' rejected: 'Registration Refused' from: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' [Aug 25 05:43:37] NOTICE[16128] chan_iax2.c: Registration of 'A2529' rejected: 'Registration Refused' from: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' I've confirmed the new password and tripple check my conf files. The new node is otherwise working. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Tim, WD6AWP :wq

Node Losing RX Audio
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi All; I have noticed the following since adding a remote base (TM-271) to my system (so the system comprises of a main repeater node (operating half-duplex into an analog controller) and a second fob connected to the TM-271).... Randomly, the audio from my main node (connected to the analog controller) disappears... i.e., app_rpt does not 'hear' the audio from the repeater, it *does* see the COS signal, so the result is an unmodulated carrier out to the connected links. Interestingly, the audio from the remote base works fine - i.e., if I hop over to the RB, I can carry on the conversation with folks connected to the main repeater node. An rpt reload does not fix this. When I restart the Asterisk service, then things are fine and again will run for a random period of time (could be one day, or sometimes 3 or 4 days) until the next hit. I've tried disconnecting the RB node, so that it is not connected to the main node at all, and this does not seem to make a difference. This morning, I have commented out the RB stanza in rpt.conf and its associated stanza in usbradio.conf - will be interesting to see if this re-occurs with just the one node connected. ... wonder if anyone else has seen this, and if so, what the fix was / is? Thanks, Ramesh.

Hi again :-) Where is the scheduler documentation? Also is all scheduling done with the scheduler or can cron also used? -- Tim :wq
