Interfacing with a yaesu vx7000 repeater
Hello all. question when interfacing with repeater through the acc port. We currently have it set up for the repeater to do the repeating and the tone. We the the URI/allstarlink set up on duplex=1 so we can change the beep the the roger beep. I also have it set to linktolink = yes. Question is when we access the auto patch it appears its only in 1/2 duplex because it appears when the person is talking on the phone and has the repeater key'd up you can't issue a disconnect command. Example. for some reason we lose connectivity to allstarlink servers for what ever reason about every 24-48 hours which makes the webtrans not work . Normally i just reboot the machine and everything comes back fine. I noticed today before i left work our node wasn't listed again, but figured i would just fix it when i got home. On the way home i tried to connect to another allstarlink node and said connection failed, but ECHOLINK stations worked fine. SO i thought i would call home then right quick on the auto patch. WHen i did i got the loud noise of a busy signal, but since the repeater was keyed up it would not accept a *0 command or any command to disconnect the auto patch until i got home and restarted asterisk. Then of course i had to restart the box and then everything went back to normal. First question does anyone else have a problem of their all-star box needing rebooted like that every couple of days? 2nd any for the way i have it set up to get full duplex on the auto patch so if this happens again we can shut the auto patch. I am sure everyone is saying why not let the computer do the controlling. Which i have no problem doing that, but it appears i can't stay connected full 24/7 for some reason to the allstarlink servers and with having to reboot the computer from time to time i can't keep the repeater up 100% in that type of configuration. Any thoughts on the above node 28079
