[arm-allstar] Question on suppressing node connection announcements

[Doug Crompton]

Tom,

 Echolink like the connect messages on Allstar has three modes - on (1), off (0), and timed (2).

On and off are self explanatory. Timed means when you do any connects, disconnects, etc. you will hear the connection BUT there is a timed period - about 1 minute or so after that that the window stays open and you will hear other connects/disconnects during that time. Once the time period is up it will mute until you do another connect/disconnect at the echolink node.

By default we set both echolink and Allstar to mode (2) but that can obviously be changed.

I just migrated our Echolink from being piggybacked on a node to running on a separate RP3 running version 1.02.   It is working great and has reduced the loading a bunch when there are many Echolink users.   There is one funny that I’d appreciate some help with.   Normally, I only hear the node connects and disconnects when doing so from another Allstar node and I like to hear those.   And people can connect and disconnect from our Echolink node and we DON’T hear that racket – like that too.    Here is the funny:  if we do a disconnect from the Echolink node and then reconnect again, we now hear all the Echolink connections and disconnections….  I tried an experiment on the Echolink node putting in a startup macro to suppress local telemetry but that had no effect.   Restarting Asterisk on the Echolink controller restores quiet to the universe. Any ideas? Tom N5TW
