[arm-allstar] Telemetry

[Dave Petrie]

Hi Billy, I hope I can help you, i have put quotes " at the begging of my
comments
and another one at the end " so they don't get put into any file"
"turn telemetry on and off inside a macro"
"first in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf"

[functions417860]  "or whichever node you choose"
984=cop,33  ;telemetry enable ;turn on voice announcements
986=cop,34  ;telemetry disable ;turn off voice announcements

"the 984 and 986 can be whatever you have available"
"telemetry is different than a command to play a voice file"

684=localplay,/etc/asterisk/local/telemetryon
686=localplay,/etc/asterisk/local/telemetryoff

"localplay can be replaced with playback for global play"
"684 and 686 can be what you have available"
"you have to make the telemetryon and telemetryoff voice files or choose
your file names"


"then in [macro417860]"

[macro417860]
42=*984, *684# ;turn voice telemetry on, announce
43=*986, *686# ;turn voice telemetry off, announce

"42 and 43 can be whatever you have available"

"then in [schedule417860]"

[schedule417860]
;dtmf_function =  m h dom moy dow  ; ala cron, star is implied
43 = 00 19 * * *
42 = 00 21 * * *

"after the = is the minutes then the hour in 24hr and in this example every
day"
"so this schedule turns telemetry off and plays the telemetry voice file at
7pm"
"then at 9pm macro 42 is run turning telemetry on and playing telemetryon "

hope this helps
Dave
