announcements

>>When you set the TX and RX levels per instructions the announcements will be the correct level. Actually Harry, many people find the announcements too loud for their tastes, even when everything is adjusted OK. A while back somebody posted a script that went through the entire directory containing all the announcements and lowered the volume by a certain number of DB. Perhaps with some searching you could find it, or some other user on here will have a copy. 73 Ken

Passing DTMF to another controller
by C B 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Hi I am trying to get DTMF from other ALLSTAR nodes to pass to a controller connected to a node. My configuration is a beagle board with the controller on port 2 (another controller will ne on port 1 latter). I have set in the RPT.CONF linktolink=yes propagate_dtmf=yes On both nodes. Below I have copied my RPT.CONF information in case I have placed them in the wrong place or I have a syntax error or some other error. Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: [App_rpt-users] SIP VoIP for Asterisk

Bill, sorry for hijacking your thread. Didn't mean it.... Dwine Bill South <wbs099(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > While this thread is not part of what I originally asked about (SIP provider recommendations) I'll add that 911 access is mandated in some LATAs, but seems to be some debate if it must be 911 or if 9-911 is OK, or other variations. I worked in the telecom business for over 25 years in various parts of the USA and different localities would respond differently to the question about 911. When E911 first came out, where a database lookup was done by the local police emeregency agency systems answering 911 calls showing names and addresses, some jurisdictions mandated that database had to show the exact location the call was originating from, not a billing address of some companies headquarters. Big problem for some large companies where a single billing address is used for all telco circuits. For residences I'm not sure anyone has put much thought into laws regarding 911 dialing and any restrictions thereof; businesses on the other hand, where > 100's maybe thousands of workers are in the same building and floor and locating a 911 caller could be pretty tough for local emnergency responders, there are, or were anyway, laws in some locations mandating 911 unrestricted. The thought has always been though that in an emergency people have the expectation, whether at home or work, that they can dial 911 and get help; not sure where the laws stands now on that across the USA. > >-------------------------------------------- >On Thu, 9/5/13, Dwaine Garden VE3GIF <DwaineGarden(a)rogers.com> wrote: > > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] SIP VoIP for Asterisk > To: "Jim Duuuude" <telesistant(a)hotmail.com> > Cc: "app_rpt mailing list" <app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org> > Date: Thursday, September 5, 2013, 7:40 PM > > Canadian customers have to provide an > address and name for 911 purposes for a DID.

running out of 2XXXX node numbers
by Jim Duuuude 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Since we were at the 'last' of the 2XXXX 5 digit node numbers, I "reclaimed" some un-issued node numbers in the 27000-29999 range. We now have 250 node numbers in the "free" pool that will be issued before going to a new number sequence. IF any of you have "reservations" for node numbers perhaps "next to" yours that haven't been assigned yet, speak now or forever hold your peace (or piece, perhaps, if you are a gun enthusiast :-) ), before what you were wanting/expecting gets given to someone else. Thanks Jim WB6NIL
