Sorry about the duff info, I was merely basing my assumption on the info in the example rpt.conf which states that there are 2 arguments passed to the connpgm / disconpgm : connpgm=/etc/connectprog ; . Execute a program you specify on connect. ; passes 2 command line arguments to your program: I was wondering how to use these arguments so I can include them in my tweet...

64 bit

I know that CentOS and Asterisk are available in 64-bit versions I have a 64 bit machine. Is it possible to make an install of app_rpt that runs in 64 bit? if so, how? Using the standard ISO and install procedure, it installs 32 bit OS and modules. Thanks Ken Jamrogowicz

Calling into the node operator's local SIP phone
by Keith Williamson 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hi, Several people have expressed an interest in how to configure Allstar to allow radio users to connect to the node-operator's local SIP phone. It turns out it's pretty easy (once you have a local SIP phone configured of course). To do this without configuring more general autopatch access with it's potential risks, you can create a specific context for just allowing a radio user to access one "outbound" SIP connection, the local SIP phone. In rpt.conf, I uncommented the "autopatchdn" function and duplicated and uncommented the "autopatchup" function. These two functions are in the [functions] stanza available to radio users. In the new "autopatchup" function, I changed the default DTMF string from 6 to 61 and added the "context=" option. I set the option to "context=node-op". So the function now looks like this: 61=autopatchup,context=node-op,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1,dialtime=20000 Then in extensions.conf, I added a stanza for [node-op]: [node-op] exten => 1,1,Answer exten => 1,n,Dial(SIP/200,10) exten => 1,n,Playback(vm-nobodyavail) exten => 1,n,Hangup Change the SIP/200 above to SIP/whatever-your-local-extension-is. Since we modified rpt.conf, you need to restart asterisk. Now, if the radio user keys in *611, the autopatch will be invoked and extension "1" in context [node-op] will be called where it will be answered and then will dial the local SIP phone extension. If you don't pickup, it will timeout, play the "nobody available to take your call" message, and hangup. Of course you can integrate this into a full autopatch configuration by modifying the default dialplan in context "radio" but I'm not willing to open my node up to dialing out to the world (yet). 73's, Keith KF7DRV

Problems with Cepstral and Festival
by Chuck Kraly 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Hi Guys, I have been trying to get Cepstral and Festival to both or either play with ACID. The installs go well, and I can execue them from CLI. The pc hesitates while it executes, but I get no sound what so ever out of either the USB fob, or local sound connection. If somoen on the list has time, could you email me at ckraly(a)gmail.com and help me see what I might be missing? Thanks Chuck K0XM

Private Network
by Monty Dana 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

Hello Everyone! I wondering how one might set up a private network of connected nodes? Right now I have two nodes setup here at my home, and would like to experiment with having them both tied together on my private home network, and still have one node able to access allstar and echolink, is that possible? What the main reason for this question is that many of you know, broadband is hard to come by on mountain tops and if it is available very expensive. So we are looking for other alternatives, ie Wifi links, spread spectrum T1, etc to have a private network among sites with a single public IP address, like a home network. Thanks, Monty KE7JVX

Example of how to setup a sip phone for reverse autopatch
by Keith Williamson 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Thought I'd share this thread with the list since it might be helpful to someone trying to setup a local sip phone for reverse autopatch. Bob and I went off the list when we first got started on this because I was afraid the thread could get quite lengthy if we ran into the (almost) inevitable problems. However, everything worked the first time through a combination of luck on my part explaining things (blue moon) and Bob's excellent ability to read, interpret, and follow my drivel. Bob, if there were things I explained incorrectly below that you figured your way around, please chime in so that the next unwary ham who tries this will be forewarned. Also note that some of this is specific to Bob's SIP phone but in looking through the manual for the phone, I found it to be pretty typical of other SIP phones I've worked with. Finally, apologies for the reverse ordering of the thread versus the way we normally (try) to order thread (newest reply at bottom). 73's Keith KF7DRV Allstar Node 2541 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bob Brown - WØNQX <bbrown(a)byrg.net> Date: Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 12:03 PM Subject: SIP IP pHONE config - was: Connect notifications via AGI or System scripts To: Keith Williamson <hkwilliamson(a)gmail.com> hi keith got the first part done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sip show peers Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status 9009/9009 10.0.0.40 D 5060 Unmonitored 1 sip peers [Monitored: 0 online, 0 offline Unmonitored: 1 online, 0 offline] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ whats next? -- Thanks in Advance Bob Brown, WØNQX Kansas City Metro Area http://sm0kenet.net http://byrg.net http://kcdstar.byrg.net Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
