To remove sms beacons from an AllStar node that uses the “ASL” software version, you need to create a private node and connect to Hamshack Hotline via your private node, not your public node.

To create a private node, you will need to choose a new node number between 1000 and 1999.

For demonstration purposes here, we will use node # 1995 as our private node, and also for demonstration purposes, we will use node # 12345 as our public node number.

Please remember to replace node # 12345 with your actual public node number.

In your rpt.conf file, place this into it:

[1995] ; private node for Hamshack Hotline

rxchannel=dahdi/pseudo
duplex=0
link2link=yes
;connpgm=/usr/local/sbin/supermon/smlogger 1  ; only needed if you use them.
;discpgm=/usr/local/sbin/supermon/smlogger 0  ; only needed if you use them.
controlstates=controlstates
scheduler=schedule12345  ; Change 12345 to your public node number
morse=morse12345
macro=macro12345
functions=functions12345
phone_functions=functions12345
link_functions=functions12345
telemetry=telemetry 
wait_times=wait-times12345
telemnomdb=0
telemduckdb=-9
holdofftelem=1
telemdefault=1

Now, add the following to nodes list at the end of your rpt.conf

[nodes]
1995 = [email protected]/1995,NONE

Next, locate this line in your rpt.conf file

;startup_macro=

Change that line to now read like this:

startup_macro=*31995

Now, in your extensions.conf file place the following:

[radio-secure]
exten => 1995,1,rpt,1995

[radio-iaxrpt]
exten=1995,1,Rpt,1995|X

Then in your extensions.conf file, modify your HH Stanza (or add if you don't have an existing HH Stanza yet) to no longer use your public node number, but rather now use your private node number.

[hh-N8PCHH]  ; Change to your own stanza name for HH
exten => 1995,1,answer()
exten => 1995,n,Playback(rpt/node)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(digits/1)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(digits/2)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(digits/3)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(digits/4)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(digits/5)
exten => 1995,n,Playback(rpt/connected)
;exten => 1995,n,Set(CALLSIGN=HH-${CALLERID(num)})  ; leave commented out or it will send sms beacons
;exten => 1995,n,rpt(1995|P|${CALLSIGN})            ; leave commented out or it will send sms beacons 
exten => 1995,n,Rpt,1995|P

Then after modifying these files and saving them, restart your node.
Then have an HH support agent test to confirm the sms beacons are gone.

Please note: You will have to coordinate with HH to adjust your Dial String to
now match to your new private node number.
