Hi All,  
I have been trying to integrate the app\_rpt module with the Asterisk 16 version using URI. I have been able to compile app\_rpt with Asterisk by upgrading the code of app\_rpt.c. I have been trying to figure out how to configure it from .conf file to be used with the URI device. Please help if someone has experience in this.  
I am using Asterisk16 on CentOS8

First let me tell you I am no guru, but I find this prety interessting.  
When you say you need help with configuration, do you mean that you dont know what to put into the rpt.conf or how to choose the channel driver you need?

Also did you enabled the wanted channel drivers in the modules.conf file  
like  
load =\> chan\_dahdi.so ; DAHDI Telephony  
and  
load =\> chan\_usbradio.so ; CM1xx USB Cards with Radio Interface Channel Driver (DSP)  
for usbradio or

load =\> chan\_simpleusb.so ; CM1xx USB Cards with Radio Interface Channel Driver (No DSP)

for simpleusb

AllStar on a current version of Asterisk is pretty much the Holy Grail. There have been some efforts but none have succeeded as yet. Unfortunately it’s not a matter of conf files. What I hear is that app\_rpt.c would need a nearly complete rewrite. Part of the issue is the conference bridge changed at version 1.6 and forward.

I have enabled the channels from modules.conf. Dahdi loaded fine, chan\_usbradio and chan\_simpleusb were not loaded.

I have created a node in rpt.conf(attached below)

When run asterisk after making the node…asterisk fail to run with the error of unable to find _rx\_channel_.

Attaching the images of my node in rpt.conf and asterisk output:

We can see that pseudo in dahdi does not work. is it a dahdi problem or an app\_rpt one? that I cant help you.
