After reading that IRLP is banned from use on an IRLP box I am saddened, but it makes my decision easier. I'll have to live without the RC-210's and go with Allstar. I have been told however that a RC-210 may be linked in with a URI but over-the-air DTMF will be confusing. We were going to use a computer for cell phone control. I would like to know what the command set is. Can someone point me to the controller commands? Such as kerchunk filter (if it has one), DTMF mute, etc. We do have a phone patch. I assume that since Asterisks is a PBX system a phone patch is built in somehow?
The Drupal site (http://ohnosec.org/drupal/) documents most of what you can do with app_rpt. Also, it the app_rpt source there is a list of commands. These are used much like other controllers in that you map these to touch tone commands. Here’s the list taken from app_rpt.c * status cmds: * * 1 - Force ID (global) * 2 - Give Time of Day (global) * 3 - Give software Version (global) * 4 - Give GPS location info * 5 - Last (dtmf) user * 11 - Force ID (local only) * 12 - Give Time of Day (local only) * * cop (control operator) cmds: * * 1 - System warm boot * 2 - System enable * 3 - System disable * 4 - Test Tone On/Off * 5 - Dump System Variables on Console (debug) * 6 - PTT (phone mode only) * 7 - Time out timer enable * 8 - Time out timer disable * 9 - Autopatch enable * 10 - Autopatch disable * 11 - Link enable * 12 - Link disable * 13 - Query System State * 14 - Change System State * 15 - Scheduler Enable * 16 - Scheduler Disable * 17 - User functions (time, id, etc) enable * 18 - User functions (time, id, etc) disable * 19 - Select alternate hang timer * 20 - Select standard hang timer * 21 - Enable Parrot Mode * 22 - Disable Parrot Mode * 23 - Birdbath (Current Parrot Cleanup/Flush) * 24 - Flush all telemetry * 25 - Query last node un-keyed * 26 - Query all nodes keyed/unkeyed * 27 - Reset DAQ minimum on a pin * 28 - Reset DAQ maximum on a pin * 30 - Recall Memory Setting in Attached Xcvr * 31 - Channel Selector for Parallel Programmed Xcvr * 32 - Touchtone pad test: command + Digit string + # to playback all digits pressed * 33 - Local Telemetry Output Enable * 34 - Local Telemetry Output Disable * 35 - Local Telemetry Output on Demand * 36 - Foreign Link Local Output Path Enable * 37 - Foreign Link Local Output Path Disable * 38 - Foreign Link Local Output Path Follows Local Telemetry * 39 - Foreign Link Local Output Path on Demand * 42 - Echolink announce node # only * 43 - Echolink announce node Callsign only * 44 - Echolink announce node # & Callsign * 45 - Link Activity timer enable * 46 - Link Activity timer disable * 47 - Reset "Link Config Changed" Flag * 48 - Send Page Tone (Tone specs separated by parenthesis) * 49 - Disable incoming connections (control state noice) * 50 - Enable incoming connections (control state noicd) * 51 - Enable sleep mode * 52 - Disable sleep mode * 53 - Wake up from sleep * 54 - Go to sleep * 55 - Parrot Once if parrot mode is disabled * 56 - Rx CTCSS Enable * 57 - Rx CTCSS Disable * 58 - Tx CTCSS On Input only Enable * 59 - Tx CTCSS On Input only Disable * 60 - Send MDC-1200 Burst (cop,60,type,UnitID[,DestID,SubCode]) * Type is 'I' for PttID, 'E' for Emergency, and 'C' for Call * (SelCall or Alert), or 'SX' for STS (ststus), where X is 0-F. * DestID and subcode are only specified for the 'C' type message. * UnitID is the local systems UnitID.

The cession has been made to switch yet now that the folks at IRLP have convinced me ( :-) ) they are telling me the drawbacks and how expensive it is. BTW, thank you Tim for taking the time out of your day to reply with the control commands. It makes the difference. I see missing commands like Kerchunk Killer - is it by another name? On the RC-21- as some of you know the SysOp, if you will, may set a timer so that 500mS (or 25mS, whatever) delays the audio. Also, a DTMF mute. We have jammers that love to hit DTMF all day. Is it by another name?

Hi Wayne, The AllStar software automatically attempts to limit Kerchunks and by design mutes received DTMF tones. There are also various audio delay features to solve squelch crashes, etc.--very much like "audio delay" boards in traditional repeater controllers. I've got several busy repeaters on-line and, honestly, I can't imagine going back to a traditional repeater controller (like the controller you mention, etc.) at this point. It would be like stepping back in time to a motor scooter. Yes, a scooter is functional and reliable. But, it's a scooter! AllStar is very feature rich and many IRLP reflectors also include AllStar connectivity these days; more do every day. Personally, I haven't missed IRLP for a single moment. Anyhow, just my $0.02 73, David KB4FXC On Tue, 15 Apr 2014, Wayne wrote:

BTW, thank you Tim for taking the time out of your day to reply with the control commands. It makes the difference.
I see missing commands like Kerchunk Killer - is it by another name? On the RC-21- as some of you know the SysOp, if you will, may set a timer so that 500mS (or 25mS, whatever) delays the audio. Also, a DTMF mute. We have jammers that love to hit DTMF all day. Is it by another name?
THANK YOU all for the extended time you have given me.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am ready to make the switch even though I just bought a new RC-210 and don't know how I am going to get rid of three of them. I don't know if I can resell them or if Arcom has an issue with that. But I also have another issue in that our vendor has provided us with a VLAN and access to all of his sites over the 5.8GHz system. He also gave us an Internet gateway public IP. How would I control the RTCM's over a VLAN unless I place a Windows box at each site with SSH and connect to it that way? I don't even know how to do that. I would use a PC with two NIC's but I still don't know how I would do that. How would I bridge the two? You mention audio delay... I am told that one weakness of Allstar is a lag. Of course since I have not used it yet I cannot speak to what they were referring to. The purpose of going with this vendor was the speed of the VLAN and the ability to keep connectivity even if a huge earthquake takes out the Internet. I wanted the ability to use my cell phone with a SSH app to control the RTCM's. Am I stuck using public IP's and their inherent latency issues and potential loss in an emergency? FWIW, I've been kerchunked all night and I am tired of hearing it. One question still not answered is whether or not I can plug a URI into Port 1 on a RC-210 and then pull it into our Allstar group as an unvoted device with WX receiver, Earthquake Alarm and who knows what. Am I still better off using URI's on th4ese individual devices? What if, for example, I wanted to add a 6 meter transceiver for those folks out in the boonies or access during an opening? A URI or a RC-210? How would I pull in our unvoted desert link on a different pair? A URI? I am sorry if I am being redundant. Frankly I am overwhelmed by well meaning answers from you fine gentlemen and those from IRLP actually recommending Allstar over IRLP. I too would like to avoid IRLP. -----Original Message----- From: David McGough [mailto:kb4fxc@inttek.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 9:26 PM To: Wayne Cc: 'app_rpt mailing list' Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM Commands Hi Wayne, The AllStar software automatically attempts to limit Kerchunks and by design mutes received DTMF tones.

Hi Wayne, I re-read some earlier messages in this and related threads, to better understand your systems design goals. And, the earlier threads have left me with even more questions. From what I read, you've got a substantially complex system planned. It's going to take some expert level work with radios and computer networking to get setup, no matter what solution you choose. I believe it's all quite do-able with AllStar, but, is well beyond the scope of this mailing list. To address your specific questions, below: 1) Selling RC-210's should be simple enough (E-bay?). 2) Since you've got a private network and a public network involved, that's fine. But, this is a somewhat complex networking task. You'll need to get everything "talking together." I'm suspecting you'll want to implement some VPN's (Virtual Private Networks) to accomplish this. I use OpenVPN under Linux. It works great. BTW, I'm not sure RTCM's are the best solution. And, you don't need a Windows box at each site. 2) There is an small, unavoidable audio delay from audio input to output with AllStar. This is typical with any VoIP radio system, including full digital systems like D-Star and DMR, etc. This delay isn't like the delay found in traditional analog linked repeater systems, however. In older linked systems, you'd have to hold the PTT down for a second or so to allow all the transmitters to come on-line or you'd loose that initial audio. AllStar digitally buffers the audio during propagation from any member receiver to all member transmitters. So, the audio could be buffered and delayed as much as several hundred milliseconds (a big network!). But, not typically lost. 3) As for persistent kerkhunkers and other issues, no hardware is going to solve that. That is an etiquette problem. Over time, (most) users can be trained to behave. Yes, I know you're saying: "Yeah, right. I hear you." But, I help with several wide-coverage repeater systems, so, I've been there, too. 4) Yes, you can hook various systems together (WX radios, remote bases, etc.) into a single network quite easily with AllStar. But, it will likely take some complex scripting and networking to do, just like with any controller. I don't fully understand the scope of what you're wanting and as I mentioned above, trying to build the system here is beyond the scope of this mailing list. I understand your overwhelm! I would recommend getting started in small steps, if possible. First, only put up a test repeater or remote base with AllStar and get a grasp of how that is setup. Then, add a second AllStar box and network the two together--take small steps. Now, if that's not a possibility--meaning you've got to have the whole system on-line "like tomorrow", you probably need to locate some expert help ASAP; due to the big learning curve with this (or any other) complex VoIP system. Anyway, I hope this helps some. 73, David KB4FXC On Fri, 18 Apr 2014, Wayne wrote:

But I also have another issue in that our vendor has provided us with a VLAN and access to all of his sites over the 5.8GHz system. He also gave us an Internet gateway public IP. How would I control the RTCM's over a VLAN unless I place a Windows box at each site with SSH and connect to it that way? I don't even know how to do that. I would use a PC with two NIC's but I still don't know how I would do that. How would I bridge the two?
You mention audio delay... I am told that one weakness of Allstar is a lag. Of course since I have not used it yet I cannot speak to what they were referring to.
The purpose of going with this vendor was the speed of the VLAN and the ability to keep connectivity even if a huge earthquake takes out the Internet. I wanted the ability to use my cell phone with a SSH app to control the RTCM's. Am I stuck using public IP's and their inherent latency issues and potential loss in an emergency?
FWIW, I've been kerchunked all night and I am tired of hearing it.
One question still not answered is whether or not I can plug a URI into Port 1 on a RC-210 and then pull it into our Allstar group as an unvoted device with WX receiver, Earthquake Alarm and who knows what. Am I still better off using URI's on th4ese individual devices? What if, for example, I wanted to add a 6 meter transceiver for those folks out in the boonies or access during an opening? A URI or a RC-210? How would I pull in our unvoted desert link on a different pair? A URI?
I am sorry if I am being redundant. Frankly I am overwhelmed by well meaning answers from you fine gentlemen and those from IRLP actually recommending Allstar over IRLP.
I too would like to avoid IRLP.

Hi Wayne,
The AllStar software automatically attempts to limit Kerchunks and by design mutes received DTMF tones. There are also various audio delay features to solve squelch crashes, etc.--very much like "audio delay" boards in traditional repeater controllers. I've got several busy repeaters on-line and, honestly, I can't imagine going back to a traditional repeater controller (like the controller you mention, etc.) at this point. It would be like stepping back in time to a motor scooter. Yes, a scooter is functional and reliable. But, it's a scooter!
AllStar is very feature rich and many IRLP reflectors also include AllStar connectivity these days; more do every day. Personally, I haven't missed IRLP for a single moment.
Anyhow, just my $0.02

BTW, thank you Tim for taking the time out of your day to reply with the control commands. It makes the difference.
I see missing commands like Kerchunk Killer - is it by another name? On the RC-21- as some of you know the SysOp, if you will, may set a timer so that 500mS (or 25mS, whatever) delays the audio. Also, a DTMF mute. We have jammers that love to hit DTMF all day. Is it by another name?
THANK YOU all for the extended time you have given me.

I would like to know what the command set is. Can someone point me to the controller commands? Such as kerchunk filter (if it has one), DTMF mute, etc.
We do have a phone patch. I assume that since Asterisks is a PBX system a phone patch is built in somehow?

You’ll need to have your ISP open a port or two depending on your system design. The server needs a port open for SSH and a port for IAX (IAX is the protocol Asterisk uses to link with other nodes). If you are going to run Echolink on your main server then you’ll need those ports open. Or if you didn’t want (or couldn’t) open Echolink ports you could put up another server (at your house for example) and put Echolink on that and connect it to your main server with Allstar. The RTCM needs only telnet open. If the server and RTCMs are on the same LAN or VLAN, which is recommended, then you can SSH to the server and then telnet to the RTCMs, no need to have the ISP open telnet. SSH, IAX and telnet ports can be changed from their default values to any other port. App_rpt default SSH port is 222 but many people change it to something else. IAX default is 4569 and generally only needs to be changed if you have more than one server behind a public IP address. The lag is not bad if your server and RTCMs are on the same fast LAN or VLAN. Ping times consistently around 10ms or so will work really well. Assuming a voting or simulcast system, if you have even one RTCM on a slow network you have to increase buffer lengths for the entire system. Yes, if the internet goes down or gets slow during some sort of outage then it will be slow or impossible to SSH to your server. But if your server and RTCMs are on the same private (and functioning) network your radio system will still be 100% functional even if you can’t SSH into it. And you’ll still have touch tone control. Yes, there is no kerchunk filter in app_rpt. My experience is people still kerchunk even with a filter, they just key longer to get the repeater to come up. I understand other people feel it helps. Our developer has shown no interest in adding a repeater kerchunk filter. However, app_rpt is open source so a C programmer could add it. Time for you to jump in and get started. Go ahead and get at least one RTCM, build a server, connect a radio and set it all up at home. You’ll know a lot more about the how it all works after you do that. -- Tim :wq On Apr 18, 2014, at 2:12 AM, Wayne <wayne@anywherehost.net> wrote:

Tim, I am buying two RTCM's on Monday. But my key question still remains unanswered and I am frustrated. How do I link in Site 3 as an unvoted repeater? It only has public internet so I think I have to hard wire it to Site 1 to remain connected all the time. This is why I have asked several times if a RC-210 can have a URI plugged into port 1 and a link on port 2. Link port 2 -> 1. I have been told in private emails that this is how it is done. We have VLAN and Internet. VLAN is preferred. I can put a Linux box at the main site but how would a SSH box talk to VLAN from a public IP? Thank you for your time, Tim. I apologize if I appear dense at this point. I have read so much conflicting information that I am bordering lost. I mean, I have asked questions so that I might understand.

Hi Wayne,
The AllStar software automatically attempts to limit Kerchunks and by design mutes received DTMF tones. There are also various audio delay features to solve squelch crashes, etc.--very much like "audio delay" boards in traditional repeater controllers. I've got several busy repeaters on-line and, honestly, I can't imagine going back to a traditional repeater controller (like the controller you mention, etc.) at this point. It would be like stepping back in time to a motor scooter. Yes, a scooter is functional and reliable. But, it's a scooter!
AllStar is very feature rich and many IRLP reflectors also include AllStar connectivity these days; more do every day. Personally, I haven't missed IRLP for a single moment.
Anyhow, just my $0.02

BTW, thank you Tim for taking the time out of your day to reply with the control commands. It makes the difference.
I see missing commands like Kerchunk Killer - is it by another name? On the RC-21- as some of you know the SysOp, if you will, may set a timer so that 500mS (or 25mS, whatever) delays the audio. Also, a DTMF mute. We have jammers that love to hit DTMF all day. Is it by another name?
THANK YOU all for the extended time you have given me.

Wayne, It is daunting at first but it will all clear up for you, honest. RTCMs can be set up with or without a GPS. RTCMs with a GPS can vote, ones without a GPS cannot vote. With non-voting RTCMs the receiver is always selected and audio will mix with any other RTCMs on the same node. In your case Site 1 and 2 will be voting RTCMs and Site 3 will be non-voting. Now, you have a couple of choices on how your system is configured. You could have two nodes (1000 and 1001) as shown in example 1. This configuration would allow you to connect and disconnect the nodes at will with Allstar touch tone commands. You can have a startup macro so site 3 automatically connects on boot up. This way also allows you to have different receive buffer lengths, a longer one for the internet connected site 3. Or you could have only one node as shown in example 2. This assumes Site 3 is geographically or frequency separate from Sites 1 and 2 which I believe is true in your case. This way all 3 sites always transmit, sites 1 and 2 are voted and site 3 always is repeated. This way you have to have the receive buffer set for the slowest network, site 3. voter.conf example 1 [general] port = 667 password = BLAH [1000] Site1 = pswrd1,master,transmit Site2 = pswrd2,transmit buflen = 180 [1001] Site3 = pswrd3,transmit buflen = 280 voter.conf example 2 [general] port = 667 password = BLAH [1000] Site1 = pswrd1,master,transmit Site2 = pswrd2,transmit Site3 = pswrd3,transmit buflen = 280 -- Tim :wq On Apr 18, 2014, at 9:56 PM, Wayne <wayne@anywherehost.net> wrote:

There are also various audio delay features to solve squelch crashes, etc.--very much like "audio delay" boards in traditional repeater controllers. I've got several busy repeaters on-line and, honestly, I can't imagine going back to a traditional repeater controller (like the controller you mention, etc.) at this point. It would be like stepping back in time to a motor scooter. Yes, a scooter is functional and reliable. But, it's a scooter!
AllStar is very feature rich and many IRLP reflectors also include AllStar connectivity these days; more do every day. Personally, I haven't missed IRLP for a single moment.
Anyhow, just my $0.02
73, David KB4FXC

The cession has been made to switch yet now that the folks at IRLP have convinced me ( :-) ) they are telling me the drawbacks and how expensive it is.
BTW, thank you Tim for taking the time out of your day to reply with the control commands. It makes the difference.
I see missing commands like Kerchunk Killer - is it by another name? On the RC-21- as some of you know the SysOp, if you will, may set a timer so that 500mS (or 25mS, whatever) delays the audio. Also, a DTMF mute. We have jammers that love to hit DTMF all day. Is it by another name?
THANK YOU all for the extended time you have given me.

After reading that IRLP is banned from use on an IRLP box I am saddened, but it makes my decision easier. I'll have to live without the RC-210's and go with Allstar. I have been told however that a RC-210 may be linked in with a URI but over-the-air DTMF will be confusing. We were going to use a computer for cell phone control.
I would like to know what the command set is. Can someone point me to the controller commands? Such as kerchunk filter (if it has one), DTMF mute, etc.
We do have a phone patch. I assume that since Asterisks is a PBX system a phone patch is built in somehow?

You can (maybe should) put your Allatar Linux box at the main site. Lets say it’s address is 10.0.0.10 and the public address of your VLAN provider is 99.99.99.99. Your VLAN provider will set his router to port forward ssh and iax to 10.0.0.10. You will ssh to 99.99.99.99. That’s it! -- Tim :wq On Apr 18, 2014, at 9:56 PM, Wayne <wayne@anywherehost.net> wrote:
We have VLAN and Internet. VLAN is preferred. I can put a Linux box at the main site but how would a SSH box talk to VLAN from a public IP?
Wayne, BTW, is one of your design requirements to do true simulcast--meaning with frequency/phase locked tranmitters at each repeater site? I saw this mentioned in an earlier thread. You also mentioned that the repeaters don't have overlapping coverage areas? ...Just wondering. 73, David KB4FXC
