Re: [App_rpt-users] Remote Base questionw
Sam, That was in the last message... in rpt.conf
29261 = radio@127.0.0.1/29261,NONE,y ;y=remote base
Without the "Y" many nodes can connect to the remote base node.
Don't declare it as a remote base with the "y" It is something to think about before deciding it is a good route to take considering all your possible config's. It all depends on your intentions and set-up. It not good for everyone. ...mike/kb8jnm

Pretty sure the FOB issue is you need to connect to it first to get the light to blink.
Mike.. Tell me about the way you configure yours to allow multiple connects?

Sam and Corey,
I did just want to point out that the one node connect is only valid if you use the node=remote base option.

What I did was put the control in a main node and use only use the audio paths for the remote base node then I do not have to connect to it in control mode to control it. This way I don't have to connect to it at all to control it. May not be suitable for everyone's config though.
And Sam may be right about the reset line, I have never connected it myself. Something to try.
But I doubt it has any bearing on a FOB issue.
I have no issues with DH-RBI

Corey....
I just went through this...
here is what I have learned...
The URI light will not blink until you connect to the Remote with another node or iaxrpt. after that, it appears to stay blinking, however, I believe it shoud go out again when you disconnect? Mine doesn't..
You need to use the *4xxx controlling the far node routine to manipulate the remote from a connect node. OR you can use IAXRPT to test.
I sometimes have to stop and restart asterisk to correct an issue where the remote stops responding to anything. I think it has something to do with the URI not disconnecting and the light stopping when you disconnect.
Only one node at a time can connect with the Remote Base. the other attempts will fail.
The Icom 706 needs Memories 50-99 entered and saved with the RPT TONE set.. Starting at 67.0 at Memory 50 and going up each tone till you reach the last tone and memory 99. I used 146.520 simplex in every memory and just changed the tone incrementing 1 up till I hit 99 and the end of the available tones IF you don't do this, you will get "invalid frequency" everytime.
The RBI remote base works but I had to disconnect pin 4 it appears in my case anyways, the logic level is backwards? As soon as I removed the reset pin 4, it took right off. I am going to have to work on this because the RBI operates with fewer mishaps when its connected.
The Kenwood TMD-700a works the best for me so far.
Corey, I run my nodes in a private invironment so I have removed most of the band edge and authlevel safegards that maybe should be included, but I wanted to get it to work before I added that back in. I am using a USB Serial interface or a USB Icom interface in the case of the 706.
here are my working examples. I hope it at least gets you started. Your mileage may vary, CAUTION! Beverage may be HOT! (insert favorite disclaimer here..)

Corey,
As we have talked on this before, It really does not make any sense but here is a checklist.
Look at usbradio.conf and usbxxxxx.conf Other than looking for type errors, make sure the fob is addressed properly.
You might also add a memory=memoryxxxxx section and provide a default freq load string for the node (rpt.conf).
init=146.520,100.0,l
It's a start anyway...

A few different times I have attempted to get a remote base going.
I am
using a Doug Hall Box. I am sure I have it wired correctly. On the Parallel port I have pin 2 as serial data, 3 as serial clock and 4 as reset.
If I define remote = rbi asterisk will start but the light on the usb FOB stop blinking. Once I comment out the remote = line and restart asterisk, the sound fob will start to blink again and the doug hall will reset. I decided to try defining any type of remote such as y or even ic706 and the same thing happens.
When I do define remote=rbi it still will not program the kenwood radio either.
I did upgrade to the latest acid svn to test as well because prior to upgrading if any remote at all was defined, asterisk wouldn't even start. It would bomb right out. At least now it start. I know this has to be something simple. Any one have any ideas as to where to start looking?
I did define a remote-base stanza for functions and the only things I added other than that was.
remote = rbi iobase = 0x378 authlevel = 0
I am also using usbradio.
