How is over the air access to Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP) nodes accomplished?
- A.By obtaining a password that is sent via voice to the node
- B.By using Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals (correct answer)
- C.By entering the proper internet password
- D.By using Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tone codes
WhyOver-the-air access to Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP) nodes is accomplished using Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals. IRLP nodes are accessed over the air by sending DTMF (touch-tone) digits from a transceiver's keypad, which the node interprets as commands to connect to a particular reflector or another node, answer B. A voice password (A), an internet-entered password (C), and CTCSS tones (D, which are used for squelch access, not command signaling) don't describe how IRLP command access actually works.
