:'''Q''': What is AllStarLink Asterisk (ASL)?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is the software used to create an AllStar node. It consists of Linux, Asterisk and app_rpt. ASL uses the Debian version of Linux. Asterisk is the OpenSource PBX. App_rpt is an Asterisk application giving it the radio node functions. ASL runs on x86 or on the Raspberry Pi (ARM version).<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What does ASL stand for?<br />
:'''A''': AllStarLink<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I install ASL?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is available as a installer for i386/AMD (PC) and as a SD card image for Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards.If you have ever installed Linux you know how to install ASL. The images are available from the [[Main Page]] Related Links. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Can ASL be installed on an existing Linux install, for example on a VM running Debian?<br />
:'''A''': Yes it can. More information to follow. But if you have no other option you could do this:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
cd /tmp<br />
wget http://dvswitch.org/install-allstarlink-repository<br />
<br />
chmod +x install-allstarlink-repository<br />
./install-allstarlink-repository<br />
<br />
If Raspbian: apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers -y<br />
<br />
Otherwise: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` -y<br />
<br />
apt-get update<br />
apt-get install allstarlink -y<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Will ASL run on Windows?<br />
:'''A''': No, ASL is a Linux application.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I login to ASL once it is installed?<br />
:'''A''': The initial user login ID is '''repeater''' with a password of '''allstarlink'''. When you login the first time you will be forced to change the password. The user repeater has sudo rights. You can then continue the customization process. To enable console root login you will need to set a password for user root.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How is a ASL Node configured? <br />
:'''A''': Briefly, a single node configuration is straight forward. Once you are logged in run asl-menu. The system will walk you through a first time setup of your node by asking you a number of questions. You'll need to have created an AllStar account, created a server, requested a node number and have your node's password. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How many nodes can ASL support on a single server?<br />
:'''A''': It depends on the hardware. A high power Intel box may support 25 or more RTCM clients. A the other end of the spectrum, a Raspberry Pi 3 would be good for 2 USB nodes.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': When using ACID I had (insert feature here) Now it's gone. When will ASL support this feature?<br />
:'''A''': ASL supports all the same channel drivers, features and apps that ACID supported. Under ASL, modules are not loaded by default. They must be enabled in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Will ASL run as a hub / reflector?<br />
:'''A''': YES, ASL will run as a hub. To build a hub set rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo in rpt.conf and set noload => chan_simpleusb.so in modules.conf<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Do I need a monitor and keyboard to run ASL?<br />
:'''A''': No, ASL can be managed via SSH on port 22. The port can be changed in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf. ASL for the Raspberry Pi does require a monitor and keyboard to install.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What is the IP address of my new node?<br />
:'''A''': ASL configures the machine via DHCP. Check your DHCP server for the address. The machine defaults to repeater.allstarlink.org. This can be changed with asl-menu.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Does my remote access program (insert IAXRPT, Web Transceiver, Zoiper, AndroidIAX here) work with ASL?<br />
:'''A''': Yes, either using the sample configuration files or your custom files.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What about SIP support?<br />
:'''A''': By default, SIP is not enabled. If you want to enable it, see /etc/asterisk/modules.conf<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What audio file format does ASL use?<br />
:'''A''': By default, ASL installs the ulaw formatted audio files installed in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What version of app_rpt is ASL built with?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is built from the current version of asterisk taken from the github. As of now, The version of the code from the github is 1.01 2/13/2018<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': ASL is built on Debian 9, why Debian, why not (insert distro here)?<br />
:'''A''': There are a lot of great Linux distributions available. Debian is a 20+ year old distribution with a large developer base. Many of the other distributions are based on Debian.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I run a custom script (insert script here). Does it work with ASL?<br />
:'''A''': Unless the script does something really strange or uses something specific to only one Linux distribution, The script should be made to work. We will be happy to work with script writers to move their script to ASL.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I updated my kernel now what?<br />
:'''A''': ASL uses DKMS to manage the installation of kernel modules. DKMS will update when you install a new kernel.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I need a Linux program that is not in ASL, what do I do?<br />
:'''A''': apt-get is the Debian utility to install, remove and upgrade programs. apt-get install foo will install the program foo if it is available.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I have a question not covered in this FAQ, how do I get an answer?<br />
:'''A''': There is a wealth of information on AllStar Asterisk at http://wiki.allstarlink.org[http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/ /] There is also a user mail list at http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I change my network (adapter) setup?<br />
:'''A''': Use asl-menu<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I change my DNS setup?<br />
:'''A''': Use asl-menu<br />
:<br />
:'''Q''': How do I restart Asterisk?<br />
:'''A''': Asterisk can be restarted by running the script <code>astres.sh</code> or stoped with <code>astdn.sh</code> and started with <code>astup.sh</code>.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What are the specific differences between a single node, and a hub, to which can accept many connections?<br />
:'''A''': Any node can be a "HUB". A node is not limited to one connection. There may be hardware limitations about the number of connections a given piece of hardware and internet connection can support. Typically, a HUB is located on a higher bandwidth Internet connection and is running a more "stout" piece of hardware. A HUB usually does not have a node radio connected to it, but there is no reason it can't. A HUB usually runs DAHDI/pseudo for it's rxchannel. This is changed in the rpt.conf file.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': On some x86 and some raspberry pi2's, I have noticed dtmf falsing and would like to recompile app_rpt to set the radio relax feature off to reduce/eliminate the false dtmf tones that get decoded from voice transmissions.<br />
:'''A''': ASL has radio relax turned off..<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I exited the firsttime script for setting up a ASL system, and would now like to run it. How is this accomplished?<br />
:'''A''': Do the following:<br />
sudo touch /etc/asterisk/firsttime && sudo /usr/local/sbin/first-time</div>N4IRShttps://wiki.pttlink.org/index.php?title=PTTLink_FAQ&diff=957PTTLink FAQ2018-05-24T10:02:26Z<p>N4IRS: Add error checking to script.</p>

<br />
:'''Q''': Will ASL run on Windows?<br />
:'''A''': No, ASL is a Linux application.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I login to ASL once it is installed?<br />
:'''A''': The initial user login ID is '''repeater''' with a password of '''allstarlink'''. When you login the first time you will be forced to change the password. The user repeater has sudo rights. You can then continue the customization process. To enable console root login you will need to set a password for user root.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How is a ASL Node configured? <br />
:'''A''': Briefly, a single node configuration is straight forward. Once you are logged in run asl-menu. The system will walk you through a first time setup of your node by asking you a number of questions. You'll need to have created an AllStar account, created a server, requested a node number and have your node's password. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How many nodes can ASL support on a single server?<br />
:'''A''': It depends on the hardware. A high power Intel box may support 25 or more RTCM clients. A the other end of the spectrum, a Raspberry Pi 3 would be good for 2 USB nodes.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': When using ACID I had (insert feature here) Now it's gone. When will ASL support this feature?<br />
:'''A''': ASL supports all the same channel drivers, features and apps that ACID supported. Under ASL, modules are not loaded by default. They must be enabled in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Will ASL run as a hub / reflector?<br />
:'''A''': YES, ASL will run as a hub. To build a hub set rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo in rpt.conf and set noload => chan_simpleusb.so in modules.conf<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Do I need a monitor and keyboard to run ASL?<br />
:'''A''': No, ASL can be managed via SSH on port 22. The port can be changed in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf. ASL for the Raspberry Pi does require a monitor and keyboard to install.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What is the IP address of my new node?<br />
:'''A''': ASL configures the machine via DHCP. Check your DHCP server for the address. The machine defaults to repeater.allstarlink.org. This can be changed with asl-menu.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Does my remote access program (insert IAXRPT, Web Transceiver, Zoiper, AndroidIAX here) work with ASL?<br />
:'''A''': Yes, either using the sample configuration files or your custom files.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What about SIP support?<br />
:'''A''': By default, SIP is not enabled. If you want to enable it, see /etc/asterisk/modules.conf<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What audio file format does ASL use?<br />
:'''A''': By default, ASL installs the ulaw formatted audio files installed in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What version of app_rpt is ASL built with?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is built from the current version of asterisk taken from the github. As of now, The version of the code from the github is 1.01 2/13/2018<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': ASL is built on Debian 9, why Debian, why not (insert distro here)?<br />
:'''A''': There are a lot of great Linux distributions available. Debian is a 20+ year old distribution with a large developer base. Many of the other distributions are based on Debian.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I run a custom script (insert script here). Does it work with ASL?<br />
:'''A''': Unless the script does something really strange or uses something specific to only one Linux distribution, The script should be made to work. We will be happy to work with script writers to move their script to ASL.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I updated my kernel now what?<br />
:'''A''': ASL uses DKMS to manage the installation of kernel modules. DKMS will update when you install a new kernel.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I need a Linux program that is not in ASL, what do I do?<br />
:'''A''': apt-get is the Debian utility to install, remove and upgrade programs. apt-get install foo will install the program foo if it is available.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I have a question not covered in this FAQ, how do I get an answer?<br />
:'''A''': There is a wealth of information on AllStar Asterisk at http://wiki.allstarlink.org[http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/ /] There is also a user mail list at http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I change my network (adapter) setup?<br />
:'''A''': Use asl-menu<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I change my DNS setup?<br />
:'''A''': Use asl-menu<br />
:<br />
:'''Q''': How do I restart Asterisk?<br />
:'''A''': Asterisk can be restarted by running the script <code>astres.sh</code> or stoped with <code>astdn.sh</code> and started with <code>astup.sh</code>.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What are the specific differences between a single node, and a hub, to which can accept many connections?<br />
:'''A''': Any node can be a "HUB". A node is not limited to one connection. There may be hardware limitations about the number of connections a given piece of hardware and internet connection can support. Typically, a HUB is located on a higher bandwidth Internet connection and is running a more "stout" piece of hardware. A HUB usually does not have a node radio connected to it, but there is no reason it can't. A HUB usually runs DAHDI/pseudo for it's rxchannel. This is changed in the rpt.conf file.<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': On some x86 and some raspberry pi2's, I have noticed dtmf falsing and would like to recompile app_rpt to set the radio relax feature off to reduce/eliminate the false dtmf tones that get decoded from voice transmissions.<br />
:'''A''': ASL has radio relax turned off..<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': I exited the firsttime script for setting up a ASL system, and would now like to run it. How is this accomplished?<br />
:'''A''': Do the following:<br />
touch /etc/asterisk/firsttime<br />

<hr />
<div><br />
:'''Q''': What is AllStarLink Asterisk (ASL)?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is the software used to create an AllStar node. It consists of Linux, Asterisk and app_rpt. ASL uses the Debian version of Linux. Asterisk is the OpenSource PBX. App_rpt is an Asterisk application giving it the radio node functions. ASL runs on x86 or on the Raspberry Pi (ARM version).<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': What does ASL stand for?<br />
:'''A''': AllStarLink<br />
<br />
:'''Q''': How do I install ASL?<br />
:'''A''': ASL is available as a installer for i386/AMD (PC) and as a SD card image for Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards.If you have ever installed Linux you know how to install ASL. The images are available from the [[Main Page]] Related Links. <br />
<br />
:'''Q''': Can ASL be installed on an existing Linux install, for example on a VM running Debian?<br />
:'''A''': Yes it can. More information to follow. But if you have no other option you could do this:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
cd /tmp<br />

<hr />
<div>Rpt.conf is where the majority of user-facing features, such as the node's CW and voice ID, DTMF commands and timers are set. There is a lot of capability here which can be difficult to grasp. Fortunately the default [https://github.com/AllStarLink/DIAL/blob/master/configs/rpt.conf DIAL rpt.conf] is well commented and will work fine for most node admins. <br />
<br />
=DTMF Commands=<br />
DTMF commands are placed in any one of three [[Structure of Config Files|named stanzas]]. Function stanzas control access to DTMF commands that a user can issue from various <br />
control points.<br />
* The [[#Functions Stanza|fuctions stanza]] - to decode DTMF from the node's local receiver.<br />
* The [[#Link Functions Stanza|link_functions stanza]] - to decode DTMF from linked nodes.<br />
* The [[#Phone Functions Stanza|phone_functions stanza]] - to decode DTMF from telephone connects.<br />
<br />
A function stanza key/value pair has the following format:<br />
<br />
dtmfcommand=functionclass,[functionmethod],[parameters]<br />
Where:<br />
* dtmfcommand is a DTMF digit sequence '''minus''' the [[#funcchar=|start character]] (usually *)<br />
* functionclass is a string which defines what class of command; link, status or COP<br />
* functionmethod defines the optional method number to use in the function class.<br />
* functionoptions are one or more optional comma separated parameters which further define a command.<br />
<br />
==Status Commands==<br />
Status commands (functioncalss 'status') provide general information about the node. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
712 = status,12 ; Give Time of Day (local only)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Status !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| 1 || Force ID (global)<br />
|-<br />
| 2 || Give Time of Day (global)<br />
|-<br />
| 3 || Give software Version (global)<br />
|-<br />
| 4 || Give GPS location info<br />
|-<br />
| 5 || Speak the last (dtmf) user <br />
|-<br />
| 11 || Force ID (local only)<br />
|-<br />
| 12 || Give Time of Day (local only)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Link Commands==<br />
Link commands (functioncalss 'link') connect to, disconnect from, monitor (Rx only) other nodes and give link status. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
3 = ilink,3 ; Connect specified link -- transceive<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! ilink !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| 1 || Disconnect specified link<br />
|-<br />
| 2 || Connect specified link -- monitor only<br />
|-<br />
| 3 || Connect specified link -- tranceive<br />
|-<br />
| 4 || Enter command mode on specified link<br />
|-<br />

| 15 || Full system status (all nodes)<br />
|-<br />
| 16 || Reconnect links disconnected with "disconnect all links"<br />
|-<br />
| 17 || MDC test (for diag purposes)<br />
|-<br />
| 18 || Permanently Connect specified link -- local monitor only<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==COP Commands==<br />
Control operator (functionclass 'cop') commands are privileged commands. Node admins may provide some of these to their user community based on personal preference. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
99 = cop,7 ; enable timeout timer<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Some COP commands can take multiple parameters. For example this COP 48 would send #3#607 on command.<br />
<br />
<pre>900 = cop,48,#,3,#,6,0,7</pre> <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />

==Remote Base Commands==<br />
Remote base commands (functionclass 'remote') provide remote base control. This stanza is [[Structure of Config Files#Settings to name other Stanzas|named by]] the remote base [[#Remote Base Functions=|Remote Base Functions]] key/value pair.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Not all commands above are supported by all radios. For example radios which don't support SSB, would not be able to be placed in LSB or USB mode.<br />
<br />
===Remote Base Login===<br />
When [[#authlevel=|authlevel=]] is greater than zero, remote 99 is used to define a different dtmf sequence for each user authorized to use the remote base. The remote base will announce the callsign as access is granted.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
9139583 = remote,99,WB6NIL,G ; grant access to Jim (general)<br />
9148351 = remote,99,WA6ZFT,E ; grant access to Steve (extra)<br />
</pre><br />
When the remote base is disconnected from the originating node, the<br />
user will be logged out. <br />
<br />
The LICENSETAG argument is used to enforce<br />
tx frequency limits. Need info [txlimits].<br />
<br />
=Node Number Stanza=<br />
The node number stanza is the first stanza in rpt.conf. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
[1999] ; Replace with your assigned node number<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The node number stanza contains the following key/value pairs. <br />
==althangtime===<br />
This controls the length of the repeater hang time when the alternate hang timer is selected with a control operator function. It is specified in milliseconds. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
althangtime=4000 ; 4 seconds<br />
</pre><br />
==beaconing===<br />
When set to 1 will send the repeater ID at the idtime interval regardless of whether there was repeater activity or not. This feature appears to be required in the UK, but is probably illegal in the US.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
beaconing=1 ;Set to 1 to beacon. Defaults to 0<br />
</pre><br />
==callerid===<br />
This setting allows the autopatch on the node to be identified with a specific caller ID. The default setting is as follows<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
callerid="Repeater" <0000000000><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''Note'': The value in quotes is the name of the autopatch caller, and the numbers in angle brackets are the originating telephone number to use.<br />
<br />
==context===<br />
<br />
This setting directs the autopatch for the node to use a specific context in extensions.conf for outgoing autopatch calls. The default is to specify a context name of radio.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
context=radio<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==controlstates===<br />
This setting defines the name of the [[Structure of Config Files|variable named]] control state stanza. Control states are an optional feature which allows groups of control operator commands to be executed all at once. To use control states, define an entry in your node stanzas to point to a dedicated control state stanza like this:<br />
<pre><br />
controlstates = controlstates ; points to control state stanza<br />
<br />
[controlstates]<br />
0 = rptena,lnkena,apena,totena,ufena,noicd ; Normal operation <br />
1 = rptena,lnkena,apdis,totdis,ufena,noice ; Net and news operation <br />
2 = rptena,lnkdis,apdis,totena,ufdis,noice ; Repeater only operation<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The [[#Control States Stanza|control state stanza]] describes these mnemonics.<br />
<br />
==duplex===<br />
The duplex key/value pairs sets the duplex mode for desired radio operation. Duplex mode 2 is the default if none specified.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Duplex Mode !! Description <br />
|- <br />
| 0 || Half duplex with no telemetry tones or hang time. Special Case: Full duplex if linktolink is set to yes. This mode is preferred when interfacing with an external multiport repeater controller. Comment out idrecording and idtalkover to suppress IDs.<br />
|-<br />
| 1 || Half duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. Does not repeat audio. This mode is preferred when interfacing a simplex node.<br />
|-<br />
| 2 || Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. This mode is preferred when interfacing a repeater. <br />
|- <br />
| 3 || Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time, but no repeated audio.<br />
|- <br />
| 4 || Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. Repeated audio only when the autopatch is down.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
duplex = 0 ; 0 = Half duplex with no telemetry tones or hang time.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==endchar===<br />
This setting allows the end character used by some control functions to be changed. By default this is a #. The endchar value must not be the same as the funcchar default or overridden value.<br />
<br />
==erxgain===<br />
Echolink receive gain adjustment in +/- db-volts. Used to balance Echolink recieve audio on an app_rpt node. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
erxgain = -3<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
See [[:Category:How to|Echolink How to]]<br />
<br />
==etxgain===<br />
Echolink transmit gain adjustment in +/- db-volts. Used to balance Echolink transmit audio on an app_rpt node. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
etxgain = 3<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
See [[:Category:How to|Echolink How to]]<br />
<br />
==funcchar===<br />
This setting can be used to change the default function starting character of * to something else. Please note that the new value chosen must not be the same as the default or overridden value for endchar=.<br />
<br />
==functions===<br />
This [[Structure of Config Files#Settings to name other Stanzas|names (points to)]] the [[#Functions Stanza|function stanza]].<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
functions = functionsUHF ; pointer to 440 repeater functions stanza<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==hangtime===<br />
This controls the length of the repeater hang time. It is specified in milliseconds. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
hangtime = 1000 ;Set hang time for 1 second<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==holdofftelem===<br />
This node stanza configuration key forces all telemetry to be held off until a local user on the receiver or a remote user over a link unkeys. There is one exception to this behavior: When an ID needs to be sent and there is activity coming from a linked node.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
holdofftelem = 1 ;Set to 1 to hold off. Default is 0<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==idrecording===<br />
The identifier message is stored in the node stanza using the idrecording key. It can be changed to a different call sign by changing the value to something different. The value can be either a morse code identification string prefixed with |i, or the name of a sound file containing a voice identification message. When using a sound file, the default path for the sound file is /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
idrecording = |iwa6zft/r ; Morse Code ID<br />
</pre><br />
or<br />
<pre><br />
idrecording = /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/myid ; Voice ID<br />
</pre><br />
''Note'': ID recording files must have extension gsm,ulaw,pcm, or wav. The extension is left off when it is defined as the example shows above. File extensions are used by Asterisk to determine how to decode the file. All ID recording files should be sampled at 8KHz. See [[Recording Audio Files|Recording audio files]]<br />
<br />
==idtalkover===<br />
The ID talkover message is stored in the node stanza using the idtalkover setting. The purpose of idtalkover is to specify an alternate ID to use when the ID must be sent over the top of a user transmission, This can be a shorter voice ID or an ID in morse code. The value can be either a morse code identification string prefixed with |i, or the name of a sound file containing a voice identification message. When using a sound file, the default path for the sound file is /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. Example usages are as follows:<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
idtalkover = |iwa6zft/r ; Morse Code ID<br />
</pre><br />
or<br />
<pre><br />
idtalkover = /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/myid ; Voice ID<br />
</pre><br />
''Note'': ID recording files must have extension gsm,ulaw,pcm, or wav. The extension is left off when it is defined as the example shows above. File extensions are used by Asterisk to determine how to decode the file. All ID recording files should be sampled at 8KHz. See [[Recording Audio Files|Recording audio files]]<br />
<br />
==inxlat===<br />
The inxlat setting allows complete remapping of the funcchar and endchar digits to different digits or digit sequences.<br />
inxlat acts on the digits received by the radio receiver on the node.<br />
<br />
Format: inxlat = funchars,endchars,passchars,dialtone<br />
<br />
where:<br />
<br />
* funcchars is the digit or digit sequence to replace funcchar<br />
* endchars is the digit or digit sequence to replace endchar<br />
* passchars are the digits to pass through (can be used to block certain digits)<br />
* dialtone is optional. Set to Y for dial tone on successful funcchars.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
inxlat = #56,#57,0123456789ABCD ; string xlat from radio port to sys<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==link_functions===<br />
This [[Structure of Config Files#Settings to name other Stanzas|names (points to)]] the link_functions stanza.<br />
<br />
The link_functions setting directs the node to use a particular function stanza for functions dialed by users accessing the node via a link from another node. The traditional default is to point it to a function stanza named "functions".<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
link_functions = functions ; pointer to the Link Function stanza<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==linkmongain===<br />
Link Monitor Gain adjusts the audio level of monitored nodes when a signal from another node or the local receiver is received. If linkmongain is set to a negative number the monitored audio will decrease by the set amount in db. If linkmongain set to a positive number monitored audio will increase by the set amount in db. The value of linkmongain is in db. The default value is 0 db.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
linkmongain = -20 ; reduce link volume 20dB<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==linktolink===<br />
When operating in duplex mode 0, this forces the radio interface to operate in full duplex mode, but keeps all the other duplex mode 0 semantics. This is used when a radio interface is connected to a multiport analog repeater controller. The linktolink= key can take two values: yes or no.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
linktolink = yes ; set to yes to enable. Default is no.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==linkunkeyct===<br />
The linkunkeyct setting selects the courtesy tone to send when a connected remote node unkeys. The default is no courtesy tone when a remote node unkeys.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
linkunkeyct = ct8 ; use courtesy tone 8<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==macro===<br />
The marco key/value points to by the [[#Macro Stanza|Macro Stanza]] key/value pair. Macros are DTMF shortcuts. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
macro=macro ; use stanza names 'macros'<br />
<br />
[macro]<br />
1 = *32000*32001 ; connect to nodes 2000 and 2001<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==nounkeyct===<br />
The nounkeyct node stanza key completely disables the courtesy tone. This is useful for eliminating TX time in applications using simplex uplinks to repeaters on the repeater pair itself. This practice is '''strongly''' discouraged.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
nounkeyct = yes ; :(<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==politeid===<br />
The politeid setting specified the number of milliseconds prior to the end of the id cycle where the controller will attempt to play the ID in the tail when a user unkeys. If the controller does not get a chance to send the ID in the tail, the ID will be played over the top of the user transmission. Optional, default 30000.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
politeid = 30000 ; 30 seconds<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==propagate_dtmf===<br />
Takes either yes or no. When set to yes, DTMF will be regenerated from out-of-band signalling or from from the receiver dtmf decoder whenever a function start character is NOT detected and command decoding has not begun. When set to no, no tones will be regenerated. The default for this setting is no.<br />
This setting is meant to be used in conjunction with linktolink, inxlat, and outxlat when interfacing a radio port to a multiport analog repeater controller on an RF-linked system.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
propagate_dtmf = no<br />
</pre><br />
''Note'': There is a separate setting propagate_phonedtmf for use by dial-in (phone and dphone) users.<br />
<br />
==remotect===<br />
The remotect setting allows the selection of the remote linked courtesy tone so that the users can tell there is a [[:Category:Remote Base|remote base]] connected locally.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
remotect = ct3 ; use courtesy tone 3<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==rxburstfreq===<br />
If rx tone burst operation is desired, specify the frequency in hertz of the desired tone burst. Setting to 0 (or not specifying) indicates no tone burst operation.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
rxburstfreq = 1000<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==rxburstthreshold===<br />
In rx toneburst mode, specifies the minimum signal to noise ratio in db that qualifies a valid tone.<br />
Defaults to 16 (db).<br />
<br />
==rxbursttime===<br />
For rx toneburst operation, specifies minimum amount of time that tone needs to be valid for recognition (in milliseconds). Defaults to 250.<br />
<br />
==rxchannel===<br />
The rxchannel key/value pair selects the radio interface. There must be one (and only one) rxchannel per node. The selections are: <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Value !! Description <br />
|- <br />
| dahdi/pseudo || No radio, used for hubs<br />

|}<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo ; No radio (hub)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''Note'': This is selecting what is known as (in Asterisk terminology) the channel driver.<br />
<br />
==scheduler===<br />
This setting defines the scheduler stanza. The scheduler is used to execute commands at a particular time.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
scheduler = schedule ; name scheduler to 'schedule'<br />
<br />
[schedule]<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==sleeptime===<br />
This sets the inactivity period in seconds for no signal on the repeater receiver before the system goes to sleep. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
sleeptime = 300 ; go to sleep after 5 mins of no activity<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==startup_macro===<br />
The startup_macro is executed once on system startup. Each node can have one startup macro defined in its node stanza.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
startup_macro = *31000*31001*31002 ; Connect to 1000, 1001 and 1002 at startup<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==tailmessagelist===<br />
The tailmessagelist setting allows a comma separated list of audio files to be specified for the tail message function. The tail messages will rotate from one to the next until the end of the list is reached at which point the first message in the list will be selected. If no absolute path name is specified, the directory var/lib/asterisk/sounds will be searched for the sound file. The file extension should be omitted.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
tailmessagelist = welcome,clubmeeting,wx ; rotate 3 tail messages<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''Note'': ID recording files must have extension gsm,ulaw,pcm, or wav. The extension is left off when it is defined as the example shows above. File extensions are used by Asterisk to determine how to decode the file. All ID recording files should be sampled at 8KHz. See [[Recording Audio Files|Recording audio files]]<br />
<br />
==tailmessagetime===<br />
This sets the amount of time in milliseconds between tail messages. Tail Messages are played when a user unkeys on the repeater input at the point where the hang timer expires after the courtesy tone is sent.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
tailmessagetime = 900000 ; 15 minutes between tail messages<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==tailsquashedtime===<br />
If a tail message is "squashed" by a user keying up over the top of it, a separate time value can be loaded to make the tail message be retried at a shorter time interval than the standard tailmessagetime= setting. The tailsquashedtime= setting takes a value in milliseconds.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
tailsquashedtime = 300000 ; 5 minutes<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==totime===<br />
This defines the time out timer interval. The value is in milliseconds.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
totime = 180000 ; 3 minutes<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==unlinkedct===<br />
The unlinkedct setting selects the courtesy tone to be used when the system has no remote nodes connected and is operating as a standalone repeater.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
unlinkedct = ct2 ; use courtesy tone 2<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==wait-times===<br />
Wait-times points to the [[#Wait Times Stanza|Wait Times Stanza]].<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
wait-times = wait-times ; name wait-times to 'wait-times'<br />
</pre><br />
<br />

<br />
=Link Functions Stanza=<br />
The link functions stanza is a named stanza [[Structure of Config Files#Settings to name other Stanzas|pointed to]] by the [[#link_functions=|link_function=]] key/value pair. Functions within this stanza are used decode DTMF commands when accessing the node via a link from another node. The traditional usage is to point link_functions= to the same stanza as named by [[#functions=|functions=]] thereby having functions from a linked node and from the local node the same.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
functions = functions ; name the functions stanza 'functions'<br />
link_functions = functions ; use the same stanza <br />

<br />
=Phone Functions Stanza=<br />
The phone functions stanza is a named stanza [[Structure of Config Files#Settings to name other Stanzas|pointed to]] by the [[#phone_functions=|phone_function=]] key/value pair. Functions within this stanza are used decode DTMF commands when accessing the node from a telephone. The traditional usage is to point phone_functions= to the same stanza as named by [[#functions=|functions=]] thereby having functions from a phone and from the local node the same. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
functions = functions ; name the functions stanza 'functions'<br />
phone_functions = functions ; use the same stanza <br />
<br />
[functions]<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
If a different set of either limited or more capable functions is desired:<br />
<pre><br />

phone_functions = my_phone_functions ; use a different stanza<br />
<br />
[functions]<br />
...<br />
<br />
[my_phone_functions]<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
See [[#DTMF Commands|DTMF Commands]] for the list of functions available.<br />
<br />
=Macro Stanza=<br />
The marco stanza is named stanza pointed to by the [[#macro=|macro=]] key/value pair. Macros are DTMF shortcuts. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
macro=macro ; use stanza names 'macros'<br />
<br />
[macro]<br />
1 = *32000*32001 ; connect to nodes 2000 and 2001<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=Remote Base Stanza=<br />
Here are [[Structure of Config Files|key/value pairs]] required to configure a remote base.<br />
<br />
==authlevel===<br />
The authlevel= key is used to enable or disable login requirements for a remote base.<br />
<br />
* authlevel=0 Disables all access control (not recommended, unsecured)<br />
* authlevel=1 Enables access control, and waits for key up before prompting for the access code<br />
* authlevel=2 Enables access control, and prompts for the access code at the time of connection<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
autllevel = 0 ; allow all comers <br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==civaddr===<br />
civaddr= is used with ICOM band radios to set the CIV address. The value is a 2 digit hexadecimal number. If this key is not specified, then the CIV address will be set to the default of 88. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
civaddr = 98 ; set CIV to 98<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Remote Base functions===<br />
functions= is a pointer to a remote base function stanza. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
functions = functions-remote ; name the functions stanza 'functions-remote'<br />
<br />
[functions-remote]<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
See [[#Remote Base Functions Stanza|Remote Base Functions Stanza]].<br />
<br />
==ioaddr===<br />
ioaddr= refers to a parallel port I/O address. It is specified as a hexadecimal number with a 0x prefix. The parallel port is used when the Doug Hall RBI-1 interface is employed.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
ioaddr = 0x378 ; set RB-1 address<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==ioport===<br />
ioport= sets the serial port. On Linux Systems, these are typically path names to special files in the /dev directory.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
ioport = /dev/ttyS1 ; Linux com1<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Remote Base phone_functions===<br />
phone_functions= is a pointer to a remote base phone function stanza. It is equivalent to phone_functions in the [[#Phone Functions Stanza|Phone Functions Stanza]] but provides a separate set of commands. <br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
phone_functions = functions-remote<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==remote===<br />
remote= sets the type of radio. It also ensures that the node will be defined as a remote base node and not a standard node.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
remote = xcat ; set xcat interface<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Radio !! Value !! Comments<br />

| Syntor Xcat || xcat || Must specify serial port using ioport=. Must specify civaddr using civaddr=<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==remote_inact_timeout===<br />
<br />
Specifies the amount of time without keying from the link. Set to 0 to disable timeout.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
remote_inact_timeout = 0 ; do not time out<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==remote_timeout===<br />
Session time out for remote base. Set to 0 to disable.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
remote_timeout = 0 ; do not timeout<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==remote_timeout_warning===<br />
<br />
==remote_timeout_freq===<br />
<br />
==Remote Base rxchannel===<br />
This should contain the name of a usb radio interface which has been defined in usbradio.conf or a zaptel interface number if using a Quad Radio PCI Card.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
rxchannel = usbRadio/usb1<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Sample Remote Configuration==<br />
<pre><br />
[1234]<br />
; Rx audio/signaling channel <br />
rxchannel = Radio/usb<br />
<br />
; Serial port for control<br />
ioport = /dev/ttyS1<br />
<br />
; Radio Type <br />
remote = ft897 <br />
<br />
; Function list from link <br />
functions = functions-remote <br />
<br />
; Function list from phone <br />
phone_functions = functions-remote<br />
<br />
; Authorization level <br />
authlevel = 0 <br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=Nodes Stanza=<br />
The [nodes] stanza is a list of nodes, their IP addresses, port and "NONE" for non-remote base nodes. The nodes stanza is used to identify which node is mapped to which Internet call and to determine the destination to send the call to. If you are using automatic update for Allstar link (public) nodes, no Allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes or nodes behind the same NAT router here.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />
[nodes]<br />
1000 = radio@127.0.0.1/1000,NONE ; Private hub on this server<br />
1001 = radio@host.domain.com/1001,NONE ; Private node on another server<br />
2501 = radio@127.0.0.1/2501,NONE ; Public node on this server<br />
2502 = radio@127.0.0.1/2502,NONE ; Another public node on this server<br />
2503 = radio@192.168.1.20:4570/2503,NONE ; Public node behind the same NAT router<br />
</pre><br />
The [nodes] stanza performs a function similar to an OS hosts file. When looking up node information, app_rpt looks in the [nodes] stanza first then searches (what could be called the Allstar DNS) the /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes file.<br />
<br />
=Telemetry Stanza=<br />
This stanza is named by the telemetry= key/value pair. Telemetry entries can be shared across all nodes on the Asterisk/app_rpt server, or defined for each node. Can be a tone sequence, morse string, or a file as follows:<br />
<br />
* |t - Tone escape sequence:<br />
** Tone sequences consist of 1 or more 4-tuple entries (freq1, freq2, duration, amplitude). Single frequencies are created by setting freq1 or freq2 to zero.<br />
* |m - Morse escape sequence:<br />
**Sends Morse code at the '''telemetry amplitude and telemetry frequency''' as defined in the [morse] section. Follow with an alphanumeric string.<br />
* |i - Morse ID escape sequence:<br />
**Sends Morse code at the '''ID amplitude and ID frequency''' as defined in the [morse] section. Follow with an alphanumeric string.<br />
* Path to sound file:<br />
**Specify the path to a sound file on the server. Do not include file extension.<br />
<br />
Sample:<br />
<pre><br />

05 = 146.550,100.0,m<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=Control States Stanza=<br />
<br />
There are several predefined nmemonics (keywords) used in the control state stanza to enable and disable the various features of the controller. These nmemonics correspond to the control operator command to be executed and most of these are the same groups of letters sent back when a single control operator command is executed on the controller.<br />
