DATV repeater DTMF commands

Back to repeater controller main page

The ATV repeater controller includes a DTMF decoder enabling off-air control of some repeater functions.

The actual command sequence is in the format *xx# but the length of the sequence is variable so a command could be *123456# if required.

Configuration file

The actual command for each function is entirely flexible and is set in the config file.

It is recommended that some command sequences such as shut down are not publicly available. See this page for a typical config file listing where the DTMF commands have been grouped as keeper commands - Repeater Controller configuration.

The following functions can be changed using DTMF commands -
