Zaptel issue?
by Jeffrey S. Carrier 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

I've searched for this and am still unable to find anything in reference to this particular error. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. When I reboot the box it comes back up and operates normally. This happens almost like clockwork every two days. [Mar 29 12:11:06] ERROR[31414]: asterisk.c:3009 main: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration and will shutdown for your protection. You have options: 1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One option is to recompile without Zaptel support. 2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One option is to unload zaptel modules if you don't need them. 3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel. Thank you de KØJSC

App_rpt with USB sound interfaces, other questions
by John Goerzen 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi folks, I've been a Linux person for many years, and also an Asterisk user for many years, and the prospect of integrating these two with my amateur radio hobby has me excited. I have been studying sample config files and source code, but am nevertheless a bit confused. I have a RigExpert TI-5 interface, which could be thought of as a more featureful version of a SignaLink USB. I'll give more details on my setup below, but basically what I have is: * A full-duplex ALSA device, in which the receive frequency is mapped to the right channel, and the transmit frequency to the left. (Though I think I can make it such that a program that opens the device in mono mode will get the right thing.) * The serial interface to the rig is at /dev/ttyUSB0 * Control is at /dev/ttyUSB1. In specific, DTR must always be off, and RTS must be raised to key PTT. Other audio interfaces to this system, whether on Linux or Windows, operate quite nicely with this setup. svxlink is another Linux-based repeater project that runs well. Echolink runs fine under VirtualBox, etc. Getting the audio into Asterisk shouldn't be a big deal. After all, chan_alsa ought to be able to do that right off. So now I'm on to the app_rpt configuration. I think I can figure most of it out, but the bit I haven't been able to figure out yet is PTT keying. I can't seem to figure out how it indicates PTT in what seems to be the something of a default config, nor how I might get it to raise RTS for me. My particular setup - You might think of it logically as two transceivers connected to two SignaLink USB devices. In reality, it's just a Kenwood TS-2000 connected to a RigExpert TI-5. One feature of this radio is that it has two fully-independent transceivers, and is capable of full-duplex operation so long as each transceiver is tuned to a different band. So, for instance, I can have an input frequency on the 2m band, an output frequency on the 70cm band, and I have an instant repeater... just with a 300MHz offset ;-) In fact, the radio has a built-in repeater feature, although it is extremely limited in features. Furthermore, the TS-2000 has separate audio outputs for both transceivers, and it can keep one of them open even while it's transmitting on the other transceiver. The RigExpert USB interface takes these separate audio outputs from the TS-2000 and maps one to the left audio channel and the other to the right audio channel as it feeds them to the PC. The RigExpert is also capable of full-duplex operation. So I tell something like svxlink that my transmitter is on the left channel, the receiver is on the right channel, and there we have it: instant homebrew repeater, completely full-duplex, like a regular repeater in every way except the unusually large offset. I'd like to be able to do the same with Asterisk. Thanks for any ideas, -- John KR0L

Weather script.
by Brian Burton 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

If you check allstarnode.com there is a article about the weather script under the xipar section. It explains how to make the file play. Written so that you can copy and paste to your node and edit the node number. And playback for simplex or localplay if your duplex.

ECHOLINK CONNECT FAILURES
by Bradley Haney 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Good morning everyone. I would like to thank everyone for the help i have got from this email group.. all the reading i have done is going to turn our repeater into a power house. 1 request i have gotton from our group is that they would like to have a response back if the echolink node they tried to dial is not available or didn't go through like it does on a normal echolink box. So if John tries to call joe using the *33xxxxxxx and lets says joe is busy or the call doesn't go through he hits to many numbers etc.. he would get a response back on saying node not available or failed.. did i miss something in the set up? also for adding a SIP phone like my droid, instead of going through the sip.allstar way i would like to directly connect to my box. I have the SIP.conf set up and my phone registers but not sure what else to set up to be able to dial to my rptr node to be able to monitor the repeater and ... Thanks guys.. PS.. ALLSTAR BOX project box been running solid no crashes since the beginning 4 months ago.. Take that microsoft :)

Dtmf passthrough?
by Anthony Percy 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi all, no one commented on my message so i have resent it below just in case it was missed.... Any comments anyone??? Regards Anthony, VK2ACP Hi all, I have setup voicemail on our Allstar repeater e.g i can call the voicemail by doing a *69999 with 9999 being the voicemail. I can hear the voicemail menu but none of my dtmf commands are accepted.. I thought that if i used the dtmf transmit comand it may work but it still does not work... Any ideas on how to pass dtmf to the voicemail? Regards Anthony, VK2ACP

DNS Name instead of IP
by Jeffrey S. Carrier 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Is there a way to setup my node(s) to register a DNS name to the ASL server rather than an IP? I'm finding my ISP changes my IP radically (up to the 3rd octet) on almost a daily basis and it takes the ASL server a bit to catch up. Thanks and 73 de K0JSC Sorry for the back to back posts, I was sending from the wrong email address and either one actually made it to the list.

Weather Script
by Jeffrey S. Carrier 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

I have a Question for anyone who might be able to help. I'm not sure how many folks are using this. I've set up the weather alert script on two boxes and it seems to download the alerts just fine but when I run it from the cron job in webmin I see this error: getWxAlert: New Wx Alerts for COC043 getWxAlert: Get Wx Alert INFO for COC043: WARNING getWxAlert: Get Wx Alert INFO for COC043: ADVISORY getWxAlert: Launching playWxAlertBg... /var/lib/asterisk/Weather/getWxAlert: line 316: /playWxAlertBg: No such file or directory So it never really puts the alerts out over the air automatically. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you, K0JSC Jeff

Hey Guys!, I am looking to use the Parallel Port to control some hardware funtions on my node, I am using the Quad PCi card, I am looking for the command string to do this. Has anyone done this with a Quad Card and maybe point me in the right direction? Thanks!! Ron Simpson, N6GKJ Amateur Radio ................... Have you ever noticed that when you are looking for something, it is always found in the last place you look?
