[App_rpt] Configuration pointers
I've finally got Asterisk running, and it is registering with the AllStar network. Only problem is getting the local side working. At this time, I am not running any local radio hardware, just want to run a nailed up link using chan_rtpdir. Does anyone have any pointers for setting up this configuration. I am currently running version 0.2 of the driver, but can easily upgrade to 0.5 (and the have appropriate upgrade ready for the other end). Just didn't want to change too many things at once. :) 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
Hi Tony, This (by far) is the most straightforward "how to" thanks to N9YTY. I'm a few hours behind you, and if dl.allstarlink.org wasn't down I'd have built Asterisk by now! http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/gB-QSBv7MyXnnmNOKErZRj5QMT49_fK5Hmw-jC7G-E2MnfP... There is a bit of a "gotcha" in the new tm version, in that you can't disable EchoLink. Scott is adding this feature in the next couple of days, but I found it easier to just setup the Echolink info even through I had no intention of using it. So here I have rtpDir_tm + IRLP + Echolink... and very shortly Asterisk. 73 Jon G7PFT Asterisk Repeater Controler wrote:

I noticed dl.allstarlink.org was down. I cheated, I used the files that were downloaded onto my ACID test box the other day and a bit more script hacking! :D

Got those, but they assume you are running a local radio on Asterisk, which I am not doing at this stage. I'm tossing up whether to put the repeater on Asterisk or thelinkbox in the final configuration, but I am interested in running a remote base directly on Asterisk.

I'm using thelinkbox that Skip WB6YMH has been working on. This also works with chan_rtpdir. :) I'm one of the beta testers for Skip. :) 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
sure, its really quite simple. You need to be running chan_rtpdir version 0.5 or 0.6 is even better (cosmetic difference, really) in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf you need to have: rxchannel = rtpdir/X.X.X.X:hisport:yourport Where: X.X.X.X is the IP address of the rtpdir server hisport is the UDP port that the rtpdir server is listening on and yourport is the UDP port that asterisk is to be listening on. If the are both on the same machine, use 127.0.0.1 as the address.

And that gives a "nailed up link between Asterisk and the other side of the system? In any case, I'll configure it like that, and see how it goes. :) 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com

OK, still running 0.2, but gave it a whirl, Asterisk is up and running! :) If you connect to AllStar node 2199, you will be connected to the Australian IRLP and Echolink backbone. 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
