Hello Jim :-) Ah ! Yes ? It is a good info ! I am wondering for that on a only one FXS port. What could be the config files examples in my case ? What exactly are the signals for PTT and COR ? I want to modify an existing HF transceiver phone patch, not use ARIB interface for that. Probably a loop closing for COR ? And may be a voltage presence or reversed polarity for PTT command ? If you describe it, I can interface myself my old military rig ;-) For now, I have it on 7045.3 kHz LSB, but RX only, and a Rhode&Schwarz on 7080.0 kHz LSB. This two receivers are available via my Asterisk box from any HAM who want to ask me for an IAX2 account, or for your Asterisk network via an IAX2 trunk if you want. Have a Nice Day !

If you have a digium FXS port, and a simplex radio, you can use the port in E&M mode (it makes a DPO trunk) and fully implements COR and PTT (simplex audio) on a 2 wire port just fine. using duplex < 2 in this configuration with an ARIB in 2 wire mode should work fine, and it it doesnt, we need to fix it.

Francois,
We support simplex operation with the duplex= statement in the node block. Normally the default is duplex=2 which is a full duplex repeater. Duplex=0 is a simplex node with no telemetry, and duplex=1 is a simplex node with telemetry. Telemetry is command responses, ID's, etc.
For node use, app_rpt requires 2 FXS ports are required per node (one for TX and one for RX) Regardless if it is duplex or not.

Hello Jim and Steve,
I hope all is fine for you two :-)
I am tempting to connect few simplex stations (1 VHF, 1 UHF and 1 HF) to my Asterisk in my chack. I want to connect them directly to my TDM2433E card, because I have "too much" FXS lines available.
So, I am wondering how to use this FXS lines and I have probably missed something because I can't. I have searched some examples on Voi-info, Zapata and QRV web sites, without seen any kind of help for my usage or few explanations about the method used for COR and PTT actions through such a FXS.
You need our ARIB board for this.
If I read the zapata. and zaptel.conf exampel files included into the Asterisk distro, I can see that it seems to be possible to use 2
different
kinds of signaling for FXS and radio : E&M or "sf" or "fxsks" or "fxsgs" in zaptel.conf, and em_txrx or sf_txrx in zapata.conf... I don't understand well what I must use for my situation (I don't know how works E&M signaling exactly). I have choosen em_txrx thinking that this could be used on only one FXS channel to have COR and PTT.
E&M is just a placeholder for implementing COR and PTT signalling and only used with the quad radio PCI card.
You do it like this...
zaptel.conf:
fxogs=17 # TX bench test pair channel 17 on channelbank fxols=18 # RX bench test pair channel 18 on channelbank
zapata.conf:
; Channel 17,18
callwaiting=no threewaycalling=no transfer=no context=ext-disconnected mailbox= callerid="Bench TX"<117> signalling=fxo_tx channel = 17
signalling=fxo_rx context=ext-disconnected threewaycalling=no callwaiting=no transfer=no mailbox= callerid="Bench RX"<118> channel = 18
rpt.conf:
[112] ; node block
rxchannel = Zap/18 ; Rx audio/signalling channel ; Note: if you use a unified interface (tx/rx on one channel), only ; specify the rxchannel and the txchannel will be assumed from the rxchannel txchannel = Zap/17 ; Tx audio/signalling channel
duplex = 1; Simplex node with telemetry ; Other config stuff for the node block (don't assume that the lines above are all that is required!!!! . . .
But, I can't access to my "node" when I tempt to call it with apt(100)
or
apt(100|X) into extensions.conf. Asterisk console tells me : May 8 14:32:23 WARNING[1562]: app_rpt.c:5866 rpt_exec: Cannot find specified system node 001
In my rpt.conf, I have very few lines for this first test link :
[001] ; Node ID of first repeater ;VHF Base #1 FT290R rxchannel = Zap/2 ; Rx audio/signalling channel context = HAMWLAN ; dialing context for phone callerid = ""F6HQZ_VHF_BASE1" <77005> ; Callerid for phone calls
[nodes] 001=radio@127.0.0.1/001,NONE
So dear OM's, could you help me to start this simplex stations that I want to add to your main Asterisk radio network ? May be it could be nice to write some such paper in the voip-info wiki to have a real example to start easyly ?
I hope to start my radio link before the may 20th, due to a HAMfest in France with hudreds of HAMs. I will be pleased to annouce and show this first France/USA radio link with Asterisk boxes and your RPT application working.
For now, I have (too) few HAM's connected to my Asterisk box, chating together, but having only receivers access (2 HF RX on 7 MHz band).
If you want check my HF listening channels, I can give you an IAX2 account or we can create an IAX2 trunk immediatly that could be used later for our future radio link between our two countries.
Best 73's, F6HQZ, Francois BERGERET, France.
