Remote already in this mode

Folks,

I connected my SHARI node from QTH to a node / hub, every 1 or 2 min my HT kept telling “Remote already in this mode” . I do not know what was that all about since this is only node / hub that is kept doing it. I connected to other node / hub, I do not hear this message.

Is this an issue on my end or the other.

Kit

Likely the other end if you are not commanding it to connect in RX or TX when it already is.

your commands are not likely the same as mine but find it in your rpt.conf file and turn
Foreign Link Local Output Path Disable

936 = cop,36 ; Foreign Link Local Output Path Enable
937 = cop,37 ; Foreign Link Local Output Path Disable
938 = cop,38 ; Foreign Link Local Output Path Follows Local Telemetry
939 = cop,39 ; Foreign Link Local Output Path on Demand

Would stop telemetry from connected nodes.

Mike, thank you. I do have those commands. Just remove “;” in the front of 937 and re-starts ASL?

I had that problem connected to a network of about 70 nodes. Disabled the voice whatever and problem solved.

the “;” semicolon represents ‘everything that follows on same line is a comment’

So, if it is not in you file, you can put it in there with the comment and know what it’s for.

The command is (in the example) 937 so *937 would turn off foreign telemetry. *936 to turn back on.

I see I did not answer you fully.
Anytime you make a change to a ‘.conf’ file,
you can simply run asterisk in the foreground
asterisk -rvvv

And when at the asterisk CLI, just enter
reload

and the dialplan will reload for asterisk accepting your changes.
Also a good place to watch for errors after a reload.

exit
will put you back to your terminal command line.

Precisely how are you connecting “from QTH to a node / hub” ?

dwarnok, wrong choice of word perhaps?

At any rate, I have a SHARI PiHAT UHF Allstarlink node at home QTH. I logged in to Supermon typed in my node / hub ID and clicked “Connect” and off I went walk around the house using analog handheld.

Mike, thank you for the info. I will try to get this sort out this weekend.

Mike, I removed “;” in the front of 937 = cop, 37 and reload asterisk. I tried to send *937 from Supermon DTMF, it does not seem to do anything. I tried to send *937 and *937# from my handheld I see ASL see all my DTMF characters but she kept on saying “Remote already in this mode”. I must have skipped some step or not doing it correctly.

Only a couple of ideas and notes.
I mentioned those commands I used are likely something that I modified from a very old default install and could perhaps clash with the current default command setup which I do not have a copy of to tell you any better. I have been using the same modified file for more than 10 years.
You will come to understand more particulars about commands with experience.

Perhaps for a test, use 640 and 641 to turn this off and on as there should not be anything in conflict in the 60’s except for 60 61 on the phone patch by default.

641 = cop,36
640 = cop,37 ; Foreign Link Local Output Path Disable

If it works, then you can find a nest for a proper command entry, Or we will have to find the standard for it.

So you did remove the ‘;’ at the beginning of the line?

I can not speak to anything supermon. NOR with hamvoip if you are using it.
There are differences and I am not aware of what all they are, if any.

Mike,

I am using 2.0.0 beta 6 current built from GitHub. So far, only this node (55087) that is giving me this remote already in this mode.

I think maybe I did not properly issue the COP command. Not sure the format or how to issue it in CLI, maybe that was my problem.
