This download directory includes the following: dplay: play dvtool file to remote gateway/repeater dplus-2.2: gateway addon daemon that provides: echotest: use "XXNYYY E" where XXNYYY is repeater call voice mail: use "XXNYYYS0" to store a voice mail use "XXNYYYR0" to recall voice mail use "XXNYYYC0" to clear voice mail only voice mail register 0 available now simulcast: use "XXNYYY " to simulcast to all modules ID: use "XXNYYY I" to recall repeater ID requires /dstar/tmp/id.dvtool recorded file run echo test and copy echo.dvtool to id.dvtool. If linked, plays the linked msg. link/unlink: use "XXNYYYML" to link current module to gateway XXNYYY module M. Use "REFNNNML" to link reflector NNN module M. Use " U" to unlink. You can unlink one module using another local module using the repeater callsign in urcall characters 1-6 followed by the module to unlink in character 7 and 'U' in character 8, e.g. "W4DOC CU". You can block linking/unlinking by RF users by using: touch /dstar/tmp/blockrflinking touch /dstar/tmp/blockrfunlinking touch /dstar/tmp/blockrflinking-a touch /dstar/tmp/blockrfunlinking-a touch /dstar/tmp/blockrflinking-b touch /dstar/tmp/blockrfunlinking-b touch /dstar/tmp/blockrflinking-c touch /dstar/tmp/blockrfunlinking-c for all modules or specific modules. You can block inbound network linking/unlinking by using: touch /dstar/tmp/blocknetlinking touch /dstar/tmp/blocknetlinking-a touch /dstar/tmp/blocknetlinking-b touch /dstar/tmp/blocknetlinking-c for all modules or specific modules. You can block all linking/unlinking by using: touch /dstar/tmp/blocklinking touch /dstar/tmp/blocklinking-a touch /dstar/tmp/blocklinking-b touch /dstar/tmp/blocklinking-c for all modules or specific modules. Remove the files above to unblock. This makes it easy to use cron to block linking/unlinking during nets. There are currently twenty reflectors, 001-020. Note that you should not link more than one local module to the same reflector/ module. REF001: US / Chicago / high bandwidth REF002: US / Nebraska / high bandwidth REF003: AU / limited bandwidth to US REF004: US / REF005: UK / London / high bandwidth REF006: UK / used for DE / high bandwidth REF007: IT / Gallarate REF008: IT / REF009: US / Arizona REF010: US / New England REF011: IT / Milan REF012: US / San Diego / high bandwidth REF013: UK / regional nets / high bandwidth REF014: US / Las Vegas / high bandwidth REF015: UK / London / multimedia REF015C: UK / London / D*data only REF016: CA / British Columbia / high bandwidth REF017: NL / Netherlands REF018: BR / Brazil (server in US) REF019: US / Wisconsin / high bandwidth REF020: US / New Jersey script execute: use "XXNYYYnX" to run script /dstar/scripts/exec-n.sh. You can use letters 0-9 and A-Z for the "n". echotest recording to file: saves echo test in file /dstar/tmp/echo.dvtool playback from saved file: copy dvtool file to /dstar/tmp/play-a.dvtool to play on module a /dstar/tmp/play-b.dvtool to play on module b /dstar/tmp/play-c.dvtool to play on module c local text message playback from saved file: copy text file to /dstar/tmp/message-a to send text to mod a /dstar/tmp/message-b to send text to mod b /dstar/tmp/message-c to send text to mod c e.g. "echo HelloWorld >/dstar/tmp/message-c" The maximum text length is 20 characters. These messages are kept local to the repeater and will not be transmitted to linked gateways/reflectors nor DV Dongle users. broadcast text message playback from saved file: copy text file to /dstar/tmp/broadcastmessage-a to send text to mod a /dstar/tmp/broadcastmessage-b to send text to mod b /dstar/tmp/broadcastmessage-c to send text to mod c e.g. "echo HelloWorld >/dstar/tmp/broadcastmessage-c" The maximum text length is 20 characters. These messages are broadcast to the repeater and to linked gateways/reflectors and DV Dongle users. connection from external tools: allows users with a DV Dongle and DVTool to connect to the gateway for listening (and transmitting). You must now use the dplus.conf config file in the /dstar/tools directory. This config file allows admins to control how many connections and who can connect for both transmit and receive. This also provides the infrastructure for gateway/repeater linking. linking from command line: use "XXNYYYML" to link current module, e.g. echo "REF001CL" >/dstar/tmp/link-b to link your local module B to reflector module C echo " U" >/dstar/tmp/link-b to unlink your local module B from any gateway/reflector Please make sure you forward UDP ports 20001 to 20005 into your gateway system just like you forward UDP port 40000. Note that all of the callsigns above are in URCALL and rpt1 is local module and rpt2 is gateway. dshark: dstar protocol sniffer DVTool-dist.zip: utility for DV Dongle users that provides for testing the dongle, connect to other dongle users for a full duplex conversation, and connect to gateways for rx/tx See http://www.dvdongle.com for more information.
