i have this shiny new ASL3 Appliance going, tested, and functional! hooray me and props to the documentation.
i see in a config file (specifically rpt.conf) a long list of commented-out commands which i think could be invoked by DTMF sequences - please correct me if i'm wrong.
i would like to do from my HT with DTMF the same basic linking commands i can do for my node using the Allmon3 console. i think enabling system commands is mostly not a good idea, and invite comments on enabling any of those.
the commands in rpt.conf look like they are divided into cop, status, ilink, and remote categories? did i get that right? the commands also look like they are intended to be all defined in advance but not active until added to the specific node's template? is that also right?
if i am looking at the right config file, which of the commands and how should go about enabling them to allow the node linking to be controlled from the HT with DTMF tones?
sorry, i have previously encountered the document, but to me it really is a firehose of definitions.
the inactive commands in rpt.conf look to this untrained eye to offer more than one way to do a thing. which can be good or bad. furthermore, there is a suggestion in the rpt.conf comments about changing some of the number codes:
Change these to something other than these codes listed below!
can this great big gob of information be whittled down to offer a good place to start and begin to educate the newbie?
If you remove the leading ; from the line(s) then those DTMF commands would be enabled.
Keep in mind that we process each DTMF digit as it is received. Once we find a match, we process the associated function. So, if you define both *81 and *815 you would not have access to the latter.
It's your node so you get to decide what is enabled.
thank you for that. once upon long time ago, i made a techlab PBX with the Asterisk available at the time using some Grandstream equipment.
but now this is ASL3 territory, and i'm working on grasping what it means to do setup the "ASL Way". i just couldn't tell which of the *7, *8, or *9 and others are intended for the most basic DTMF commands. and i didn't know if i was expected just to uncomment lines or copy selected ones to where the specific node lines are.
"monitor only" means my hotspot emits RF but ignores the HT if i transmit, yes?
i will dive into the config file guided by new knowledge and your kindly supplied context to see if i can work out which command is for a 'permanent' link versus a temporary link, in addition to the very most basic DTMF controlled actions.
