Hey Matt, There are a couple of different ways I can think of to temporarily disable incoming connections. There's a dtmf function cop,12 (and an lnkdis control state) that apparently disables user linking functions. Now I've never used those before, so I'm not sure if it disables all linking (incoming and outgoing) or just disables the local outgoing link commands. I'm sure the devs could shed a little more light on that subject, but hey, why not give it a shot? Another real quick and easy way would be to comment out the entire [radio] section in /etc/asterisk/iax.conf. This would literally make asterisk stop listening for incoming connections. You could make a quick little shell script that renames files to switch between two iax.conf files, your original one and one with that section commented out, and even run it on an automatic schedule if you wanted. Let me know if you wanna know more about that, Jamison KI6VCE From: app_rpt-users-bounces@qrvc.com [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@qrvc.com] On Behalf Of Matt Beasant Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 1:10 AM To: app_rpt Subject: [App_rpt-users] How to prevent incoming connections Hi, When I play the GB2RS news and ARnewsline audio files over my node, the playback is killed off by an incoming connection. How can I prevent an incoming connection during this time? I thought I could disable the node but of course this kills the Tx completely! Didnt want to do anything as drastic as take down ETH0 if I could help it as the node is on a remote hilltop. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt G4RKY
