[App_rpt] Dial-in access to remote base

Do you have a functions_remote stanza and is phone_functions pointing to a remote_functions function table? Do you have a 98=cop,6 statement in the remote_functions stanza?

[functions_remote]
.
.
.
98=cop,6

Finally, is authlevel set to 0 or undefined in the node stanza? If authlevel is >0, you won't be able to key anything and 20 seconds later, you'll be disconnected!

rxchannel = Zap/2
remote = ft897
functions = remote-functions
phone_functions = remote-functions ; important!
authlevel = 0; should be set to 0 or left undefined.

Subject: [App_rpt] Dial-in access to remote base

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem using my remote base via dial-in access to asterisk
and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it....

On my asterisk box, I'm controlling 3 nodes currently. The first (node
#21) is a UHF repeater, and the second (node #22) and third (node #23)
nodes are simplex VHF and HF remote base radios....All these nodes are
working fine, etc.

The dial-in and autopatch functions work great with my repeater node
(#21) ....But, for the remote base nodes, I can't key the rig from the SIP
phone no matter what I try! I've tried all the phone modes: dumb,
normal, simple and VOX mode from the extensions.conf. Nothing works.

Here is a snippet of my extensions.conf:

[radio-control]
exten=21,1,Answer ; Works great!
exten=21,n,Playback,rpt/node
exten=21,n,Playback,digits/2
exten=21,n,Playback,digits/1
exten=21,n,Rpt,21|Pv
                                                                                                                                                            
exten=22,1,Answer ; Can't key the remote base
exten=22,n,Playback,rpt/node
exten=22,n,Playback,digits/2
exten=22,n,Playback,digits/2
exten=22,n,Rpt,22|Pv

snippet of rpt.conf:

[22]
rxchannel = Radio/usb1 ; Rx audio/signalling channel
duplex=0
remote=y
remote_inact_timeout = 0
remote_timeout = 0
remote_timeout_warning = 0
remote_timeout_warning_freq = 0
voxtimeout=5000 ; time to let vox talk in ms
voxrecover=500 ; time to take from vox one timed out in ms
simplexpatchdelay=5 ; # of 20 ms frames to delay audio
simplexphonedelay=5 ; # of 20 ms frames to delay audio

[nodes]
21 = radio@127.0.0.1/21,NONE
22 = radio@127.0.0.1/22,NONE,y
23 = radio@127.0.0.1/23,NONE,y

Thanks in advance!

73, David KB4FXC

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the help! I'm just about there now, I think! I added the config
statements you suggested and now I can key the remote base via '*9' and
unkey via '#'.....But this seems a bit flakey--I can get the remote base
keyed, but, it doesn't always unkey..Also, VOX mode still doesn't want to
work.

Some other observations are: I noticed that if I use simple mode, once the
remote base is keyed it won't unkey....Not really an issue to me, but, an
observation. And, function *7 (link status) causes a seg fault--should
that happen?

Please note as I mentioned earlier that VOX, etc., works fine on the
repeater node (#21), interestingly....

Here are my current configs:

rpt.conf

···

--------

[22] ; Change this to your assigned node number
rxchannel = Radio/usb1 ; Rx audio/signalling channel
duplex=0
remote=y
functions = functions_remote
phone_functions = functions_remote
authlevel = 0 ; should be set to 0 or left undefined.
remote_inact_timeout = 0
remote_timeout = 0
remote_timeout_warning = 0
remote_timeout_warning_freq = 0
voxtimeout=5000 ; time to let vox talk in ms
voxrecover=500 ; time to take from vox one timed out in ms
simplexpatchdelay=10 ; # of 20 ms frames to delay audio
simplexphonedelay=10 ; # of 20 ms frames to delay audio

[functions_remote]
7=ilink,5 ; Link status
8=status,2 ; Time
9=cop,6 ; Phone TX key

extensions.conf
----------------

[radio-control]
exten=22,1,Answer
exten=22,n,Playback,rpt/node
exten=22,n,Playback,digits/2
exten=22,n,Playback,digits/2
exten=22,n,Rpt,22|Pv
