Well considering that I am "new" to app_rpt/asterisk and it's been a long while since dabbling with linux I can't discount user error. I too would try to duplicate and retrace the steps I took to update but considering I have everything working again I much rather leave well enough alone. Thanks for trying though.

Please help me. How do I set up PAP2Ts to connect to my repeater?
by Chuck Henderson 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

I am just getting started and still have not got a good understanding of how this works. I currently have a basic install from the ACID_CENTOS CD that I downloaded 9/29/2010. I have the radios connected using a CM-108. In addition to this basic setup I want to use a PAP2T to be able to connect to the repeater. I have configured a couple of PAP2Ts to register with the server and I can dial from either one to the other. What I also want to be able to do is dial a number from either one of the PAP2Ts that will connect them to the repeater such that they can hear what the repeater receiver is hearing and that audio from the handset will come out over the air on the repeater. The PAP2T's are on the same LAN with the server. It seems like it should be easy, probably just the right line in the extensions.conf file, but all of my attempts at it have failed. The dial plan that I put in the PAP2Ts is just "(x.)" without the quotes. Would someone please tell me how to make this work? Remember I am a newbie here so don't assume that I know anything about the configuration of asterisk or app_rpt, I really don't know why what I have so far is even working at all. I made the Linksys adapters work by adding the following to sip.conf. I am not sure if this is even correct, but it allows them to call each other.

Parallel port & chan_tlb
by K&R Yoksh 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Hello, I received my CM108 fobs from Newegg today! I plugged one in and started playing around, but must have something wrong regarding the parallel port. I briefly had the PTT working correctly, but not the COS (pin 11), so I upgraded again to make sure that I had the latest files (with pin 11 support). I noticed in the SVN that app_rpt was version 0.269, and read that it included "chan_TLB" support. My apologies if this has been posted in detail somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I'm wondering if the TLB support is Allstar support via TheLinkBox? That'd be amazing if so! Also, has anyone had luck with the parallel port under app_rpt? From the time I boot up, my AUX1 (pp4) is high. I'm not sure why I was able to get the PTT to work briefly? COS did not, although DTMF decode is working if I change the CTCSS decode tone to 0.0.. I'm not using discriminator audio, and the radios have CTCSS squelch. Thanks for any advice. 73. Kyle K0KN

Bye bye IRLP.......
by Kirk Just Kirk 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

This is my feelings about the request from Dave Cameron..... I personally have no problem DUMPING IRLP from my node (s). The support from Steve and Jim FAR shadows the lack of support over the years of IRLP, not to forget the "Superstars" like KL7M telling me what to do. When IRLP came "On Scene" it was amazing.People including myself flocked to it and enjoyed it. But it seems there is a lot more to this then "Technology" It's my opinion that IRLP is literally infested with politics and the want to make money off of HAM radio. Cameron's "My way or the Highway" attitude has pissed me off for years. The result of this is simple. Here in Las Vegas,Nevada a lot of us are SHUTTING DOWN our IRLP nodes. They are no longer needed. Allstar simply outperforms IRLP handsdown. We will assist local repeater operators/owners with the removal of the IRLP operating system and rebuild as a Allstar machine.Steve (WB9STH) and myself (WB6EGR) will be attending the meeting here in Las Vegas in April. We will bring Allstar equipment to the meeting that has been installed in Motorola R-1225 repeaters,some built on ITX platforms.We have several systems on the air that can be played with from the meeting at "Circus-Circus". IRLP is like a 20 gallon water heater compared with a NEW tankless model..they both do the same thing, just one is faster,better,cheaper and supported MUCH better. Saying goodbye to IRLP is really easy! Think of it like dropping a small-block 350 V8 in your clapped out 1974 Chevy Vega.... Kirk (WB6EGR)

Phone control mode
by Stephen - K1LNX 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

For phone control mode, I see that cop,6 will key the transmitter, but how do I unkey? I don't see a cop command for that in app_rpt.c and it's likely (actually, very highly likely!) that I am not understanding how this is supposed work. I want full control of the system, so phone control mode is ideal, but I like the simplicity of Simplex Dumb Phone Control Mode (* to key us up, # to key down) Is there a way to mimic this behavior with phone control mode? tnx Stephen -- **************************************** Stephen Brown - ARS K1LNX Johnson City, TN EM86 http://www.k1lnx.net Allstar Link: 2335 IRLP: 4829 PSTN: 423-665-9367 SIP: k1lnx(a)k1lnx.net ****************************************
