Hi Corey, Yea, I just thought that I could issue commands to another node without actually connecting to it.. I would have thought there would be a way to do this in the background (short from SSHing into the box) so you would not have to go through the actual connect process, but the current method is just fine.. I just did not understand it for some reason at first that you had to connect. I suppose I could create some sort of macro to login to the boxes and perform the intended commands, just got to learn how to do all of that when I get some time..

Lets say I am node 2337 and I want to control 2340. First I would connect to the node rpt fun 2337 *32340
From 2337 I would issue rpt fun 2337 *42340 (THis forces all the command sent on 2337 to forward over to 2340)
I would then get the audio file telling me it was working. Then I would just issues commands as normal in the same fashion. Say I wanted to connect 2340 to the Wan repeater system. I would issue rpt fun 2337 *32135. This would be controlling node 2340. It will continue to do so until I issue the #.

I did not realize that I had to be actually connected to the node first. I thought you could control without being connected.

If it is working, the machine you are talking to will stay continuously keyed up. If the machine you are trying to command is not in the right command state (user functions disabled, for example) that would likely block you from executing anything.

Once you have control everything should work. Neal Sent from my iPhone On Jul 27, 2011, at 9:15 PM, "Lu Vencl" <vencl@att.net> wrote: Neal, I think you have a typo below.. Should it not be *4XXXXXX? That is what I have to do to get the remote command back.. Once I have control, I tried *3xxxxx to connect a node , or even *81 to force time announce, but neither work. So I presume there is a permissions issue or something else I am doing wrong?

First you need to be connected to the node that you want to control. Then dial *xxxxxx (the node you want to control). You will then hear a very overdriven audio file that says remote command. From that point on you are controlling that node you can (connect,disconnect, etc). To exit remote comand mode hit the # sign.

I need to understand the proper command structure or procedure of *4 remote command. Example, I want to issue a command to one of my nodes from another node. How do I do this? I tried the following example from my node 27870 KA4EPS-R-Margate*CLI> rpt fun 27870 *427869*81# I thought that this command would allow me to announce the time on node 27869 while entering this on the 27870 node.. Is this not possible? Another example, let's say I want 27869 to connect to 27875 would I want to dial over the air on (node 27870) *427869*327875# ? Thanks again for your help.. I am just not getting anywhere with it.
