[arm-allstar] Is port forwarding required?

Sun Jun 7 20:43:11 EDT 2020

Mike,

I followed Doug's instructions that he wrote in an email.

"Macros always start with a 5, *5x, etc. If you look at the stock
rpt.conf file macro stanza you will see a macro 1 defined as *81 *80 which
would play the time followed by your ID. So if you entered the DTMF *51 it
would execute that command. In other words *5 always refers to the macro
stanza and the macro number after the 5 is executed. A macro allows you to
define short commands to do much longer operations. This is particularly
handy when using DTMF.
If you use single digits for macros you can define 10, with 2 digits 100,
etc.
So if you want to define another macro for the startup macro you could use
macro 2
startup_macro=*52
Then in the macro stanza -
2=*73xxxxx#
or whatever commands you want to execute at startup. The macro definition
can be multiple commands. The string is usually terminated by the # (end of
command) character.
A new macro command has also been added to the V1.5 code in an update from
last week called:
startup_macro_delay=<seconds> so startup_macro_delay=10 would delay running
it for 10 seconds. It is a good idea to add some delay to ensure that
everything in the system is up to speed before executing the command. Add
this command to rpt.conf either before or after the startup_macro command."

This instruct is for rpt.conf.
I set my delay for 20 seconds. 

73,

Sandy – w9sbe

Hi Sandy,
Can you please point me to instructions for auto connect to a node at start
up - previously searched for this but found the info available rather
confusing.
