Making the node to ID globally instead of only locally on allstar 3

another one i’m building another node using that as a portable basically having one node as a stay in shack server node running hamvoip version and other one as a portable running allstar 3 and i’m looking to have my portable to identify globally so that way both it and the server repeats the ID on it’s end at the same time but couldn’t find a setting or a file to change it to when it’s time ID globally instead of only locally so i’m looking to see if anyone knows where i can locate the file for me to change it?

There is no option to do this because it would cause chaos if someone enabled it and linked to other public nodes

what about if i were to have it do it on specific nodes so in my case having my portable ID and my server hear the ID and repeats it to like my hamshack hotline link and maybe my echolink end but not having whoever i connect to manually hear it so for example if i were to have my server connect to you my portable would ID and my server hears and repeats it to my hotline link and echolink but you wouldn’t hear it unless you connect to me yourself would that still cause chaos or would be accepted

While there is telemetry data in the iax stream, a node may select to broadcast on their node like connection data, telemetry itself is not rebroadcast-able in the analog structure of the software.

Perhaps see sending a text message through the iax stream to the other node and playing that message when delivered. (text messages in the wiki)

That would not propagate to any other nodes outside of the target.

I fail to see the need to ID any node for more than is being RF transmitted directly.

ok just an idea that i had so that way my portable node is the original ID source and my radioless server hub would repeat the ID and having the users that calls in through hamshack hotline or connects to me through echolink or their own node hears it to basically remind them it’s time to ID but without having the node that i am connected to hear it

so the path would be if my server is connected to lets say your node directly for example and my portable is connected to my server directly and 1 caller is listening to my server through the hotline and 2 users connected to my server via echolink and when my portable ID’s my server hears it and repeats it to the hotline and echolink but you nor other nodes that’s connected to you directly won’t hear it unless you decide to connect your node to my server directly that’s basically the idea that i have in mind to basically keep my portable that has the transmitter connected in compliance while on the server side just reminding whoever is connected to me directly that it’s time to ID yourself without affecting whoever i told my server to connect to

hope you understood my example where i sometimes confuse people on how i transfer the idea that i have into text

Yes, you have confused me.
Every node has
idtime =
To tell it when it is time to ID.

If you connect your node to mine, I don’t want your id on my repeater nor do I want mine on yours.

No telemetry is passed through to the echoink channel driver in the last several versions anyway.
Just iax connections and ID is not in there for the reason there is no reason to do it.
It is a local event. It is local telemetry.

There are signaling schemes you can trigger by other means to capture and force an event on some other node set up to react to a signal event.
Including but not limited to “on event” programming. See the wiki.

you also have this to better time them perhaps.

holdofftelem = 1			
; Hold off all telemetry when signal is present on receiver or from connected nodes
; except when an ID needs to be done and there is a signal coming from a connected node.

and this…

politeid = 60000			
; time in milliseconds before ID timer expires to try and ID in the tail. (optional, default 30000)

So, you can create a scheme using the 3 to get a id at a opening intended for id. And not simply timer.

ok it’s just an idea that i have in mind for my nodes to basically both regular ID on my portable and use as a reminder that it’s time to ID when on my server but if there’s no good way to have those i guess i’ll keep mine as is and just ID locally on the portable which stinks where my blueprint idea is perfect to my view staying in compliance and when on my echolink and my hotline indicating to ID but no worries
