Larry, To send a text message from a DIAL node to a another node you will need to edit /etc/asterisk/modules.conf change: noload => app_sendtext.so to load => app_sendtext.so and restart asterisk. This will be fixed in future revisions of DIAL from the asterisk cli the command would be" CLI> rpt cmd your node number ilink 9 destination node number,"This is a test" Send a text message of This is a test from node 2154 to node 2100: rpt cmd 2154 ilink 9 2100,"This is a test" The message has to be either 1 word or enclosed in quotes. Notice the comma after the destination node number. This is also valid from the cli: rpt sendtext 2154 2100 "This is another test" As a DTMF command, the entry for 809 wont do anything. You could have: 809 = ilink,9,2100,"Testing ..." would send a text message to node 2100 or, 809 = ilink,9,0,"Testing ..." Which would send the text message to all connected nodes. Hope that helps. 73, Steve N4IRS On 4/3/2016 2:28 PM, larry wrote:
Recently I installed a Dial version on a RPi2
In it includes command to use ilink,9 to send a text message to another node. I am unable to find additional info about ilink,9 and how it works.
Could someone give me an explanation if how to utilize it? Also what if anything needs to be pre-configured locally or at the receiving node to use this function.
A command syntax example would be nice as I am confused by the comment following the defined DTMF of 809 Rpt.conf defines .... 809 = ilink,9 ; Send Text Message (9,<destnodeno or 0 (for all)>,Message Text, etc.
Thanks
