[arm-allstar] Hub Node rpt.conf Configuration Questions

[Mike - W5JR]

Andrew, I often create iax/Zoiper access to my hub nodes so that I can control/monitor them directly if needed. Think allowing telemetry on the hub (for as long as you can stand it) but not a radio node. As such, since I may be connected for long periods without activity on the channel, I've programmed IDs in beacon mode to periodically remind me that I'm connected. These obviously don't propagate down system, so they may not even be callsigns, just a representative pneumonic. 

I *think* duplex still determines whether you have mix audio or first come, first heard, but I've not ever set my hubs to duplex=0. 

tnx

I can't think of any reasons why you would need to, but am asking these questions in case I'm missing something. The Hub Node doesn't have a directly connected radio.  My thoughts are, then why would you need the Hub Node to identify or provide telemetry. I tried searching Google & the mailing list archives for earlier discussions on the topic, but couldn't find anything.
