13 remotetrx is the SvxLink remote transceiver application. It is used to
14 connect to a receiver and/or transmitter and then the main SvxLink
15 server can connect to the remote transceiver server via TCP/IP to get
16 audio to/from it.
17
18 It is also possible to link via RF instead of via TCP/IP. An example
19 use of the latter would be if the repeater is placed in a remote loca‐
20 tion where there is no network. Then networked remote receivers can be
21 linked up to the repeater via RF from a link site where network is
22 available.
23
24 The setup is pretty straight forward. The setup of a receiver or trans‐
25 mitter is done in the same way as in the SvxLink server so use the
26 svxlink.conf(5) manual page as a reference for that. The remotetrx spe‐
27 cific configuration is described in the remotetrx.conf(5) manual page.
28
29 On the SvxLink server side you need to configure a networked
30 receiver/transmitter. That is described in the svxlink.conf(5) manual
31 page in the Networked Receiver/Transmitter Section. If using multiple
32 receivers you also want to configure a voter and make proper calibra‐
33 tion of the signal level detector on each receiver.
34
36 --help Print a help message and exit.
37
38 --daemon
39 Start the SvxLink remote receiver server as a daemon.
40
41 --runasuser
42 Start RemoteTrx as the specified user. The switch to the new
43 user will happen after the log and pid files has been opened.
44
45 --logfile=log file
46 Specify a log file to put all output into. Both stdout and
47 stderr will be redirected to the log file.
48
49 --pidfile=pid file
50 Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.
51
52 --config=configuration file
53 Specify which configuration file to use.
54
56 /etc/svxlink/remotetrx.conf (or deprecated /etc/remotetrx.conf)
57 The system wide configuration file. See remotetrx.conf(5) for
58 further details.
59
60 ~/.svxlink/remotetrx.conf
61 Per user configuration file. See remotetrx.conf(5) for further
62 details.
63
64 /etc/svxlink/remotetrx.d/*
65 Additional configuration files. This directory is setup by the
66 CFG_DIR configuration variable.
67
69 ASYNC_AUDIO_NOTRIGGER
70 Set this environment variable to 1 if you get an error about
71 ioctl: Broken pipe during remotetrx server startup when using
72 OSS audio.
