"Link prefix" control codes?
Is anyone familiar with a set of additional function/control codes that can begin with '#' to allow for assigning a link-mode prefix for over-air/linked RF system control? If so, you're probably familiar with the scenario of some multi-site (RF) linked repeater systems. To control a local RF-site/repeater on it's local RF channel you prefix that site's control codes with '*' and all else is muted from going down-stream to other nodes. To control a remote site you prefix commands with '#' then a node address or 'prefix' after which the targeted node's controller accepts commands over the air. When you have an Allstar node connected as a port off a repeater controller you don't want it accepting control codes all the time, so it needs to be configured to accept only '#' then a <prefix/site code> and subsequent commands on that node. Jim Dixon had apparently created that code and implemented it on a few Allstar nodes, including one of mine, but I did not get details of the configuration, nor got a backup of it afterwards, and that node crashed and needed to be re-created. Work lost. I will have 2-3 such Allstar nodes at various radio sites and need to accommodate controlling them uniquely, over-the-air, remotely. Any clues?
Not sure if you found your answer, but looks like you want to add the following to your *rpt.conf* file: linktolink=yes propagate_dtmf=yes inxlat = #456,#457,0123456789ABCD,y ; translate digit strings inbound, ; in this case intrepret #456 as star, ; #457 as pound, and pass all the other ; chars listed in arg3 (optional) outxlat = *7,*0,0123456789#ABCD ; translate digit string outbound, ; in this case *7 generates star, *0 ; generates pound, and all the other ; digits pass along Monty On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 6:41 PM, <no1pc@yahoo.com> wrote:
