I think that the tag for *903 isn’t very clear. It should probably read, “Disable telemetry announcements from remote connected nodes.”, or something like that. The way I understood his complaint was hearing telemetry from whatever nodes(s) he was connected to.
You are correct. These commands affect only the node you are currently controlling.
Most times I have all telemetry enabled as that is the default. The only time I execute a *903 is when I connect to a large linked system and only if the announcements become annoying to me. I rarely use the *902, but sometimes it is nice to disable connections being made locally. A good example for use would be on an RF node that is also used as a hub node.
Connect to 29503. We can discuss it. J

Please correct me if I'm not seeing this correctly...
but don't those commands only effect local telemetry (on your node) ?
I believe his complaint was hearing the telemetry on a connected node/hub.

Te stop hearing remote telemetry you just need to disable it.
Add these lines to your rpt.conf under the functions stanza.
[functions] it may read [functions28183]
901=cop,33 ; Local telemetry output enabled
902=cop,34 ; Local telemetry output disabled
903=cop,35 ; Local telemetry output timed Remote (when anybody connects/disconnects from xxxxx Only)
You can also put that into your startup script to stop it from ever happening.
rxchannel = Radio/usb28183 ; Rx audio/ signaling channel
If you ever want to re-enable it, just do a *901
You have no control of announcements from other nodes you are connected to.
If you think about that, others telemetry is important to know if you are going to be connected to them. Otherwise, you could interfere with pending operations.
Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way to shut off or limit announcements that I hear on my Allstar node.
When connected to a large hub I very often hear "Remote Already In This Mode" and I'll hear when stations connect and Disconnect from each other, or if a call fails.
I'd like to turn that off, but can't seem figure out where to do it.
I looked at the Telemetry section here http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/102
but It doesn't look like anything on my node.. At least in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
