Well, it’s an ongoing revelation but at this current moment I seem to have some progress.
This is currently what i DO have working.
Using iaxRPT from my testing laptop i can dial into Node 1500 and 1510 (my 2 test nodes)
I can transmit from iaxRPT to each of the nodes and that is then relayed out to my HT’s
preset frequency for testing.
I can send a dtmf tone from the iaxRPT to either of nodesand I get a response as expected.
. I can hit the TX on the iaxRPT app and send my audio to the node which is then transmitted
out to a radio.
Things i cannot yet get working.
I currently have no luck getting audio to relay from a HT into a node to any other radio or
iaxRPT
Sending dtmf from a HT to the node is not yet working. At times it seems to receive it but I’m
not receiving the tones back to HT like to do receive in iaxRPT (*721) just periodically
noticing some sort of receive on the HT but no sound. (This is inconsistent on HT but
consistent using iaxRPT)
The nodes seem to be sending out something periodically but I’m not hearing any tones or
or audio on the HT’s. Just seeing them receiving something.
Then I will also receive period tones being sent from the nodes that reach the HT’s and
iaxRPT so it seems whatever these other periodic TX’s I’m receiving contains nothing. (I
thought maybe it’s trying to send an audio message that may not be configured but I’m
guessing)
I can go into simple usb tuning and send test tones and transmits out to radio with no issues. I’m running a new HT hardware hack that made this little unit have the ability to use COS signal which seems to be working great.
Here are some of my test configurations i currently have. I have made NO other changes as i do not want to corrupt what i’ve gotten going so far as i’m new to this.
[Nodes] = test node 1
1510 = radio@127.0.0.1:4570/1510,NONE
1500 = radio@192.168.10.10:4571/1500,NONE
iax.conf = test node 1
bindport = 4570
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 <<only using this to eliminate connection issues during setup. Not sure if
this is ok or not but was suggested by several ppl.
[Nodes] = test node 2
1515 = radio@127.0.0.1:4571/1515,NONE
1500 = radio@192.168.10.15:4570/1500,NONE
iax.conf = test node 2
bindport = 4571
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
Other configs i’ve setup:
extenstions.conf
[radio-secure] test node 1 and 2
exten => 1510,1,rpt,1510
exten => 1500,1,rpt,1500
exten => 1510,1,rpt,(1510|X)
this section i’ve done nothing but wondering if i should:
[radio]
exten => _X11,1,Goto(check_route,${EXTEN},1);
exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Goto(check_route,1${HOMENPA}${EXTEN},1)
exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,1,Goto(check_route,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _07XX,1,Goto(parkedcalls,${EXTEN:1},1)
exten => 00,1,Goto(my-ip,s,1)
As far as my simple usb device. I’ve been working with allscan.info directly to make sure i have all recommended settings that are known to work with asl3 and i don’t believe there’s issues there due to iaxRPT communicating ok.
Keep in mind I’m very new to asl3 so there could very well be the simplest configuration I’ve missed keeping all of this from working as planned.
My goal is to be able to key up a radio at each location and for that TX to be received by the other sides HT
All Nodes connected on local area network without internet and not “yet” using the allstar3 network but will eventually.
I have had asterisk experience many moons ago, some of its coming back but not enough to really help. I keep thinking about “conference” rooms and I’m wondering if I’m going down the wrong path for this setup. All I’m trying to accomplish is to do a simple round robin voice solution between some HT’s on a private network.
Let me know if you need anything else from me and Thank You.
