Re: [App_rpt] Interface questions
Jon, As Jim stated in a prior E-mail, you must make sure the channel bank supports DPO (Groundstart mode) or the transmitter will stay keyed all the time. The transmitter is keyed by the presence of battery on the TX pair. Steve.

Jon,
See responses below.
Some questions for you:
Will you be using this in an Amatuer Radio repeater system or a commercial system?
Current plans are not amateur related, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Last time I checked, Australia does not permit Amateur repeaters connect to the phone system (via automatic phone patching or autopatching) is this still the case? The reason I ask is that our systems in the US have this capability, and if we are linked together, would it be breaking the rules if someone in the US did this and and we were linked to a system in Australia? In this case, the phone conversation taking place on the US system would be rebroadcast on the Australian system.
I know that the Australian Communications and Media Authority put out a paper specifically stating that Internet linking was permitted and was not considered connecting to the PSTN. If there's phone patches in the US, then I guess that makes it a bit grey. But unless it's a major problem, I doubt ACMA would bother as they generally have higher priority things to police than amateur radio.
Hrm, they certainly have plenty, and at a good price, but overseas UPS shipping is a killer, about USD$100 to ship a dozen or so to Australia.
I'm willing to send you 2 transformers with each board blank ordered for $5.00US extra plus shipping. Please contact me off list for details.
Sounds like an idea, I'll talk to you off list about it.
Is it hard to support different FXS devices? I'm not sure exactly how entwined app_rpt is with driver code. The reason I ask is one possible avenue for me is some clone TDM cards from http://www.openvox.com.cn but it looks like their TDM1200P clone uses a different driver. Their 400P uses the standard digium driver.
As long as the FXS device is seen as a Zaptel device in Asterisk, it will work with app_rpt. In our systems, we use ARIB cards with Digium TE110p/T100p T1 cards and a channel bank. It doesn't matter which driver is required as long is it is a Zaptel driver.
Ah okay, that clears it up a little. I was planning on saving up for quad radio card, especially for its DCS and CTCSS capabilities. However, I have been offered a T1 card and channel bank for an unrefusable price, so I'm probably going that way.

Hello Steve, I'm going with a Wildcard T100P and a Zhone Xplex 10 Channel Bank. Looking at the data sheet for the channel bank, it appears to support groundstart operation. Hopefully I shouldn't have *too* much of a learning curve getting this running, once I've built this machine for it. Regards, Jon

I used to have about 12 Zhone channel banks. After installing the first couple of them and having the first one be FLAKY and the second one literally go up in smoke, I took the while pile of them and put them in the dumpster. I can tell you, however, that if you happen to get your Zhone channel bank working reliably, it does support groudstart properly as I remember. Good luck!!!!
