How to connect two repeaters through a hub ?

Hi again,

Another "beginner" question : :wink:
- I have two duplex repeaters (n° 1 and n° 2), on two separate mountains. Each one has app_rpt configured and running, alone.
- I'd like to install a hub (n° 3) in the city, to connect repeaters 1 and 2
- the connection must be permanent : the audio of repeater 1 must be linked permanently to the audio on repeater 2

I read a lot of things, but I do not really understand what to do :
- Do my repeaters 1 and 2 have to "register" (in iax.conf) to my hub 3, as ther would register to allstarlink.org ? If so, how should I declare the corersponding "server" in iax.conf on 3 ?
- Do I need to declare 3 in the nodes stanza of 1, and 1 in the nodes stanza of 3 ? Or 1 in the nodes standa of 2, and 2 in the nodes stanza of 1 ?
- How to make the connection between 1 and 2 (through 3) permanent ? (ie, without having to type DTMF commands to connect)

Thank you for this great piece of software ! But I think mastering it will require some time, HI :slight_smile:

For that question, I found the answer : scripting.
     asterisk -rx "rpt fun <node> <dtmf-cop>"

There are many ways of doing the same thing.
Each having their own implications.

One method is using a 'start-up macro' to make the connection
at startup from node3 to each of the other nodes in a permanent fashion.
Using a assignment for this: (777 is our example assigned command for ilink,13)

???=ilink,11 – Disconnect a previously permanently connected link
???=ilink,12 – Permanently connect specified link — monitor only

777=ilink,13 ;Permanently connect specified link — transceive

and running it in a startup macro for each of the other nodes you want a permanent
connection.

in rpt.conf

startup_macro=*777(NodeNum),*777(NodeNum) ;Macro to run at startup (optional)(no #
reqd)

There are other ways of doing this. You will probably need to experiment to find
what works best for your circumstances.

Thank you. As you stated, I had to experiment a little while :wink: But it's amazing :slight_smile: Now, it works as expected.

I'm using a macro for auto-start by default.

And later, my little watchdog/controller, will activate/deactivate the link when needed, with something like this :
   asterisk -rx "rpt cmd 2 ilink 3 1"
