CONNECTING to IRLP reflectors ============================= You must use the IRLP dtmf in the custom_decode file that calls the rtpDir script rtpDir_IRLPref_con otherwise the port switching within the rtpDir bridge, will not occur. The default IRLP dtmf in the rtpDir bridge package, to initiate connects to IRLP reflectors is B7. So, the following line should be in the custom_decode file: if [ ${1#B7} != $1 ] ; then rtpDir_IRLP_discon ; rtpDir_IRLPref_con ${1#B7}; exit 1 ; fi So always use the B7 IRLP dtmf to connect to IRLP reflectors. DISCONNECTING FROM IRLP reflectors =================================== To disconnect from IRLP reflectors, you must use the IRLP dtmf in the custom_decode file that calls the rtpDir script rtpDir_IRLP_discon (this will disconnect IRLP stations only) or rtpDir_ALL_discon script (This will disconnect all stations) The default IRLP dtmf in the rtpDir bridge package, to disconnect from IRLP, is B8. The default IRLP dtmf in the rtpDir bridge package, to disconnect from all stations, is B2 So, the following lines should be in the custom_decode file: # disconnect IRLP connection ONLY if [ "$1" = "B8" ] ; then rtpDir_IRLP_discon ; exit 1 ; fi # disconnect all stations(IRLP plus Echolink) if [ "$1" = "B2" ] ; then rtpDir_ALL_discon ; exit 1 ; fi So, always use B8 or B2 to disconnect. Do not use the standard IRLP dtmfs, like 73, to disconnect. If you use the standard IRLP dtmf 73 to disconnect, the rtpDir bridge cleanup procedure will not be called. 73, de KI4LKF
