[arm-allstar] send courtesy beep to echolink users

[Doug Crompton]

playback might work but be aware that using playback is NOT a good idea in a connected network. The sound will go to ALL connected nodes. Not something you normally want. It is useful for global messages, like net announcements, but make sure those connected will tolerate ii.

You've probably got lots if replies... but I don't think sending audio is possible to echolink users.
You can try this ...

#~> asterisk -rx "rpt playback 41741 filename"
Instead of local playback,  'playback' plays the audio file to all connected nodes.
By default,  asterisk looks at /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ for sound files. If you have a sub-dir under there then it needs to be defined.  

Ie: ../sounds/local-files/filename.gsm

Would only have to be called in the command as local-files/filename

Note that the .gsm extension is not needed, either.

I have an Allstar Link repeater node (41741) running on bbb. It has been running for a couple of weeks and works well.



I have a couple of issues I would like to resolve.



1)  I have echolink node (347194) configured and working on the bbb.

The echolink users can connect and talk to the repeater users.



I am trying to figure out how to enable the repeater courtesy beep to the echolink users that are connected.

In the default install there is no telementary sent to the echolink side at all other than voice from the repeater side.



Do I need something in rpt.conf for this to work?





2)  I would also like to be able to have the repeater id messages sent to the echolink side.



I can execute this: asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 41741 /etc/asterisk/local/node-id" and it will play the id on the repeater.



If I execute this:  asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 347194 /etc/asterisk/local/node-id" I get nothing on the echolink side.



The asterisk command link only shows:

  "Remote UNIX connection"

  "Remote UNIX connection disconnected"



It does not show that it is playing the node-id file.



Do I need to add anything in rpt.conf for the echolink node number?



Thanks,
