Tony, RF Hardware is not required. Instead of using chan_usbradio and setting rxchannel=Radio/usb, you redirect it to the chan_rtpdir driver. Its invoked as rtpdir/HISIP:HISPORT[:MYPORT] Example: [2199] rxcnannel=rtpdir/127.0.0.1:4000 This specifies the localhost as the IP address, and to use port 4000. There is a text writeup on these details in the first part of the chan_rtpdir source file. Steve R. WA6ZFT Tony Langdon, VK3JED wrote:
Just in the process of setting up an Asterisk node (AllStar 2199). At this time, the node has no local RF hardware (I am seriously considering adding a Kenwood remote base early next year), but I want to have a link to a remote system using chan_rtpdir, which will link to an established system.
I have some sample configs, and the N9YTY notes, but those notes assume a local RF link.
What I want to do is accept connections to AllStar node 2199 and have those linked to the rtpDir system. And from the other end, I want to be able to connect to other AllStar nodes.
Anyone able to offer insight on this configuration?
My current Asterisk installation is a hand compiled system (app_rpt is included). I didn't use EVB or ACID, because Asterisk is installed on an existing IRLP node, and I didn't want to wipe the system (for obvious reasons!).
I may also look into configuring the system to link to the local IRLP node on demand, once I've got the hang of driving Asterisk.
I played with Asterisk a long time ago and was able to set it up as a reasonable PBX with VoIP and a single analog line, but I'm a bit rusty now and I've never used app_rpt before.
