Disconnecting incoming connections

App_rpt-users

Occasionally someone will connect to our club repeater node (an incoming connection) and we wish to disconnect them. However, we are unable to do so using *1[node number] from our side. Or more accurately, we enter *1[node number] and watch them disappear on Allmon only to see them automatically reconnect moments later. I have personally tested this by making a connection using my own node and confirmed it.

Is there a setting that I am missing in the config? What might cause us to be unable to disconnect incoming connections?

Beings that the unwanted node is automatically reconnecting, try this, this might help you.

The other end is probably using a “permanent” connection. You’ll need to use an ilink,13 or ilink,6 to disconnect.

The DTMF for ilink commands may vary on your node. ASL defaults are:

; Remove the comments (the ; ) to enable.
; 806 = ilink,6                   ; Disconnect all links
; 807 = ilink,7                   ; Last Node to Key Up
; 808 = ilink,8                   ; Connect specified link -- local monitor only
; 809 = ilink,9,1999,"Testing"         ; would send a text message to node 1999 replace 1999 with 0 for all connected nodes
; 810 = ilink,10                  ; Disconnect all RANGER links (except permalinks)
; 811 = ilink,11                  ; Disconnect a previously permanently connected link
; 812 = ilink,12                  ; Permanently connect specified link -- monitor only
; 813 = ilink,13                  ; Permanently connect specified link -- tranceive
; 815 = ilink,15                  ; Full system status (all nodes)
; 816 = ilink,16                  ; Reconnect links disconnected with "disconnect all links"
; 817 = ilink,17                  ; MDC test (for diag purposes)
; 818 = ilink 18                  ; Permanently Connect specified link -- local monitor only
