Hello all. Been trying to remotely commands one of my nodes using *4 but the remote node does not seem to acknowledge the DTMF at all. I have both CLIs pulled up and see the local node decoding DTMF but the remote node shows nothing.
Searched around for a newer parameter I might be missing etc but no luck. Anyone using *4 these days for remote commands that has a tip?
Thanks. 73

By defualt that service is disabled on Nodes, you need to add this line to on the remote nodes you want to control. Be advised why this was disabled was, someone could control your node.
This needs to be added to the rpt.conf
remote_dtmf_allowed = 1
so first on the node that your node is connected to (or chain of one)you want to control you enter *4xxxxx X's is the remote node number, then any DTMF you do will be sent to the Node, but actually does not send DTMF tones, it uses the serial data connection you have between the 2 nodes via connection.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a HamVoIP specific rpt.conf directive?

I dont know is it?
I have done this in ASL Version 2 Beta. Hamvoip is the first ones to implement default Off for Security reasons. ASL followed after that since it made sense IMHO.
Try it!
I did just the other day with one of our local repeaters. Default configuration. Was still able to send it remote commands from my node.

Kyle, just what exact dtmf commands are you sending.
Starting with your *4 connect.
Perhaps your procedure is wrong ?
*4xxxxx (you get ack msg)
Then command one item at a time like from the native node. # to exit this mode.
The CT will change while in this mode. It has a inactivity timeout as well.
Are you getting the *4 connect message ack ?
It sends the commands via iax and will be ignored if it is not actually in command mode.
Hello Mike (and all),
Thanks for the reply. First thing I'm doing is connecting my two nodes together. Let's use nodes 2212 and 2213 in this example.
rpt fun 2212 *32213
After the two nodes are connected, I enter command mode:
rpt fun 2212 *42213
I then hear the "By your command" audio and no further dtmf is displayed at the CLI or recognized until I hit # to exit command mode. I've tried this via CLI and also sending DTMF using an HT.
I've also tried to send the remote command in the same string as the *4, same result.

Check your telemetry settings (2212).
Allow it to say all including foreign links for a test.
