[arm-allstar] multiple "pseudo node" remote radio control

[Doug Crompton]

Sam,

  You should be able to configure as many as you want with different node numbers of course. Just make another node stanza identical to the pseudo you have with the node number changed.

Allow me to refine my question to the group.
What is the proper way to configure more than one "pseudo" node? (a la the pseudo node that comes on the BBB config along with your personal node)
>From there, everything else should work. 
Thanks!

Thank you, David. 

Yes, you are correct, I am successfully using the CI-V protocol to control one xcat via a dahdi pseudo node on a BBB with a USB-serial converter. 

I assume the same thing that you do; because the "ioport" definitions for respective hardwareTTY ports are on a node basis and not a global "server" basis. 
My problem might lie within my usage of multiple dahdi pseudo nodes.

Hi Sam,



I have never played with an Xcat interface board, but, it interfaces with

the control computer via the Icom C-IV serial protocol, right?? If that is

the case, I expect you could use multiple USB serial adapters and a USB

hub for the hardware interface with the BBB. Then, use the hamlib tools

(already installed in BBB firmware version 1.2.1 and later) as the

software interface to communicate with C-IV. Minimally, the hamlib tools

would provide you with a method to test the interfacing with the Xcat.

Then, once you know that works, experiment with Asterisk remote-base

control or, (preferably to me) setup DTMF macros to call hamlib and issue

commands.



Take a look at the "/usr/local/bin/rigctl" command, etc.
