Hi all, How do I get my ACID asterisk node, which is running chan\_irlp quite successfully, to be able to call the IRLP experimental reflectors? I see from the IRLP yahoo group that there are some different scripts used to set up calls to these experimental reflectors - can / is this incorporated into the chan\_irlp driver? Thanks for any info / advice, Kind regards, Matt G4RKY ---

I've not tried this on Asterisk but it might work the same way it does on a real IRLP node. That is put export ALLOW\_EXPERIMENTAL\_NODES=YES in your custom/environment file. > **···** > > -- > Tim > :wq > > On Aug 20, 2009, at 2:51 PM, Matt Beasant wrote: > > Hi all, > > How do I get my ACID asterisk node, which is running chan\_irlp quite successfully, to be able to call the IRLP experimental reflectors? > > I see from the IRLP yahoo group that there are some different scripts used to set up calls to these experimental reflectors - can / is this incorporated into the chan\_irlp driver? > > Thanks for any info / advice, > > Kind regards, > > Matt > G4RKY > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > App\_rpt-users mailing list > [App\_rpt-users@qrvc.com](mailto:App_rpt-users@qrvc.com) > [http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app\_rpt-users](http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users) ---

Yes I did that but no luck… I guess I need to do something else - I have downloaded the experiemntal node IP address list also but that didnt help… Thanks Tim, Matt > **···** > > 2009/8/20 Tim Sawyer [tim.sawyer@mac.com](mailto:tim.sawyer@mac.com) > > > I’ve not tried this on Asterisk but it might work the same way it does > > > > on a real IRLP node.

I did a bit of looking into this and it turns out the ./scripts/decode file doesn’t have the bit for experimental nodes. That is… if [$CMD -ge 0000] && \ [$CMD -lt 1000] ; then # 0000-0999 = Experiment Block $SCRIPT/experimental\_call exp"$CMD" Upon further investigation I’ve discovered the app\_rpt version of IRLP is not updating the same as a regular IRLP node. App\_rpt rsync is syncing a directory called update-files and then never moves decode (among other files) to the scripts directory. Anyone know if this was intentional or an oversight? Is it ok to copy the updated scripts to the scripts directory?

Well, I scratched my own itch. The attached archive contains 3 files to support experimental IRLP nodes. Put these in your /home/irlp/scripts directory. The decode script will overwrite the existing file… back up first. The other two flies (experimental\_call and exp-x-reference) are new to app\_rpt IRLP.
