[arm-allstar] Sending tones and Documentation

[Doug Crompton]

Kip,

  I think you probably need to add delays especially at the beginning. Here
is some info on this from previous emails....

EXAMPLES:

rpt cmd 1998 cop 48
!0/500,!1100+1700/100,!700+900/60,!700+1100/60,!700+900/60,!1500+1700/60

rpt cmd 1998 cop 48 !0/500,!399.8/1000,!339.6/2000

rpt cmd 1998 cop 48
!0/500,!697+1209/200,!0/200,!697+1336/200,!0/200,!697+1477/200,!0/200,!770+1209/200,!0/200

rpt cmd 1998 cop 48 !0/500,1,2,3,A,4,5,6,B,7,8,9,C,*,0,#,D

rpt cmd 1998 cop 48 !0/500,!1068+1068.35/1400


....Replace the 1998 with your node number.

Delay EXAMPLES

Send DTMF 1,2,3. To place a 1/4 second delay between tones, and a 1/2
second at the
beginning, try something like:

981=cop,48,!0/500,1,!0/250,2,!0/250,3
