Customizing Allstar

Customizing actions of the ASL node isn’t all that complicated. Everything can be setup in /etc/asterisk/rpt.cfg under the [functions] section:

  • added *77 to announce IP to help find it on DHCP on WIFI (hotspot):
    77 = cmd,asl-say -n 63047 -w ip4
    
  • added *78 to shutdown the node via DTMF
    78 = cmd,shutdown now
    
  • ensured I could disconnect all with *6
    6 = ilink,6
    
  • made the node fire that *77 command on startup by adding to the (node-main) section for my node:
    startup_macro = *77
