[arm-allstar] Command Line Commend to Connect to Another Node

[Doug Crompton]

Sean,

The best way to do that is to use a startup macro. In rpt.conf in the node
stanza you are connecting from. In this example lets say it is node 40000 -
This would connect permanent at boot node 40000 to node 40001. If
connection is lost or node 40000 reboots it will re-establish. I use this
method on several nodes and it works well. It works best if both ends have
dns node lookup. If either end is using the flat file - rpt_extnodes the
initial connection a cold boot will take awhile. With dns lookup it is
almost immediate.

startup_macro_delay=10 ; this delays the macro in seconds at boot.
startup_macro = *52

In the rpt.conf macro stanza -

[macro27225]
;Macro number = command string (ea command separated by space) -end with
HASH
1=*81 *80#    ; play time and voice ID
2=*7340001#  ; connect node 40000 to node 40001
