[arm-allstar] CAT800 and AllStar HamVoIP Questions

[Kyle Krieg]

Finally got around to testing an Allstar node with a CAT800 controller and
got it working!  This stuff is really neat to play around with.  Hopefully
I can put this into production here soon.

I have a private node (1085) connected to port 2 of the controller.  Node
1085 is permanently connected to 40105 (which also runs echolink) which
will serve as our outside node.  I have the 1085 node directly connected to
the repeater because we have a wireless IP point to point private network
that we want to build out our repeater linking ability without the AllStar
network if it would happen to go down.

A few questions both related to AllStar and if anybody has some CAT 800
knowledge.

1) I can't get the CAT 800 to pass some DTMF tones to the 1085 node
connected to port 2.

DTMF 1 - yes
DTMF 2 - no
DTMF 3 - no (this is my question, why?)
DTMF 4 - yes
DTMF 5 - yes
DTMF 6 - no
DTMF 7 - yes
DTMF 8 - yes
DTMF 9 - yes

The DTMF tone lights up on the front of the controller, but is not passed
to the 1085 node, or the node is just not picking it up?

There has to be a setting in the CAT 800 I'm missing.

2) If I wanted to change the *3 command to something else, I'm assuming I
can do that in the rpt.conf file?

3) I'm now questioning if I should just run 1085 and 40105 on the same
RaspberryPI, and not split these two nodes up?  Is there a "best practices"
document for a setup like this?  My concern is if I want to kill Echolink,
can I do that without killing the asterisk server?

4) I'm assuming if I want to pass an Echolink command or remote *3 commands
to the 40105 node, I would need to turn on remote_dtmf_allowed=1 on the
1085 node and send *440105*33xxxxxx to connect 40105 to the outside world?

Thanks
