Hi,
Just thought I would share my experiences with the group
concerning my efforts to get APP_RPT up and running! Sooooo far I have it
working.but let me back up a step or two here.. I spent some considerable
time looking at distro's. I decided on Fedora Core 7 (has everything). I
downloaded all the config files for the repeater and the newer version of
app_rpt. then I went thru the process of getting the libpri, zaptel and
asterisk files. I used WGET to download the most up to date (As per
asterisks web site). Loading and compiling everything went fine until. I
went to compile asterisk with the new app_rpt.c file!! To make a long story
short. there was an error at MAKE time that stated not to use LOCALTIME_r to
use
Ast_localtime instead! (OK that blew me away!!!!) soooooo I replaced the
newer app_rpt with the original app_rpt. That did the trick. now the
compile and makes all worked! And I actually got the machine to repeat and
get dial tone. to put it bluntly I had a blast playing with the CONF files
and actually proved I could get a repeater up!!!
Okay.. Now I am thirsty.. Why would the newer app_rpt not
work??? Well I found the localtime_r file and replaced them with the older
ones version ast_localtime oh and I had to put a ", NULL" at the end to
make it work. Only 2 lines had to be changed. I recompiled asterisk with
the new modified app_rpt. and it worked great!! Actually the DTMF command
for time works now!!
Okay. here is where I can use some help.. I got iaxrpt
working with the repeater. and actually have my Microzap td400p board
working as 2 separate repeaters that can be linked together or connected to
by iaxrpt. But I want a little more.. I would like to know how to set
up extensions, external sip devices. and make it so that I can dial into the
asterix box and maybe get a digital attendant to give me a list of
extensions and even maybe require a dtmf password to connect to either
Repeater. or even the ability to connect to another extension. and maybe
even a conference..
I am under the impression that this system can do everything
except wipe your *((&*(%. I sure could use a hand at understanding how all
this can work with a regular phone system!
Best Regards,
Roger W4RFJ
PS. And I could use some help on how to access the AllStar stuff too! ;]
