| + | ==Parallel Port== |
| + | When setting chan_usbradio to use a parallel port for I/O you must set a definition for the port address in rpt.conf: |
| + | |
| + | <pre> |
| + | iobase=0x378 ; Parallel port address (using for cor/ptt & switches +dh-rbi - 378,278,3bc common Lpt 1,2,3 |
| + | </pre> |
| + | |
| + | You must then define the parallel port pins used for I/O in usbradio.conf: |
| + | |
| + | <pre> |
| + | [usb] |
| + | pp6=ptt |
| + | pp11=cor |
| + | </pre> |
| + | |
| + | When configuring your usbradio node you '''''MUST''''' ensure that the name of the radio is the same in both rpt.conf and usbradio.conf. |
| + | |
| + | Node names are in format of ''usb_<nodenumber>''. Where <nodenumber> = the PTTLink node of your system. ''Note that usb and the node number are separated by an underscore (_) character.'' |
| + | |
| + | Example:<p> |
| + | Your usbraido.conf file defines your usb radio as '''[usb_1000]'''. Your rpt.conf file would then have: |
| + | |
| + | <pre> |
| + | rxchannel = radio/usb_1000 |
| + | </pre> |
| + | |
| + | If you are reusing the usbradio.conf file from an older installation (i.e., ACID), take special note of the change in naming. chan_usbradio may not work without first making this change to your usbradio.conf file. |
