Configuration

Every setting tRadio has, and which of the five places it lives in. Where it lives decides whether it needs a restart.

Where each setting lives

Check the admin panel first. Open it at /tradio → Admin Panel, or at <your tLib URL>/dispatch/admin.

Set these four, then stop

1. tlib_http_public_url in server.cfg — only if tLib's auto-detection gets your address wrong.
2. authToken — 20+ random characters. Only federation reads it.
3. adminPassword and dispatchNacId, or Discord OAuth. 141 is the demo server's code.
4. Custom framework only: the hooks in config/sv_functions.lua and config/cl_functions.lua.

config.lua

Server and authentication

Config = {
    exposeWeb = true,
    showDispatchInHub = true,
    showAdminInHub = true,
    useLegacySocketTransport = false,
    hostServerUrl = "",            -- satellites only
    isSatelliteServer = false,
    authToken = "",                -- federation only
    adminPassword = "",            -- empty = generated on first boot
    dispatchNacId = "141",
}

Public web addressing belongs to tLib: tlib_http_public_url and tlib_http_port. The URL is optional and takes a bare IP, an ip:port, or a domain.

Discord authentication

Optional OAuth for both panels. Create an application at the Discord Developer Portal, then add both redirect URIs under OAuth2 → Redirects:

http://203.0.113.10:7777/dispatch/radio/dispatch/auth
http://203.0.113.10:7777/dispatch/admin/auth/callback

The Panel row of the console banner is the exact base. Discord matches redirect URIs exactly, so a missing /dispatch mount segment fails with invalid_redirect_uri.

Config = {
    discord = {
        authEnabled  = true,
        clientId     = "1284739201847362048",
        clientSecret = "<your discord client secret>",
        guildId      = "938271046582910384",
        roles        = "938271046582910111,938271046582910222",
        adminRoles   = "938271046582910333",
        redirectUri  = "",
    },
}

Store a bot token in Credentials and the page turns every Discord role into a checkbox. Sessions last 24 hours; role changes apply at next login.

When you need a bot token. The browser login never does. The in-game login does; without one, in-game access rests on the tradio.dispatch / tradio.admin ACE permissions alone.

redirectUri must be an origin — https://radio.example.com, not radio.example.com. A path is ignored, and a bad value falls back to tLib's public URL.

Giving out radios by Discord role

Credentials → Role → codeplug. It stacks with the jobs / ace / item routes; a player admitted by both keeps the higher job grade.

Roles are read when a player first needs a codeplug, then every five minutes.

Most Discord-role resources already write ACE principals, so ace = 'tradio.leo' may suffice.

In-game panel access

Neither panel asks for a password or a NAC ID in game. The check runs before the panel opens: a player without access sees one chat line and no panel.

1. ACE permission — tradio.dispatch and tradio.admin:

   cfg

   add_ace group.admin tradio.admin allow
   add_ace group.mod   tradio.dispatch allow

2. Discord roles — only if a bot token is stored and discord.guildId is set. Your bot must be in the guild with the Server Members Intent enabled.

Framework detection

Config = {
    framework          = 'auto',
    frameworkResources = {
        esx = 'es_extended', qbcore = 'qb-core', qbx = 'qbx_core',
        nd = 'ND_Core', ox_core = 'ox_core', nat2k15 = 'framework',
    },
    autoRefreshOnJobChange = true,
}

'auto' probes qbx → qbcore → esx → nd → ox_core → nat2k15, falling back to 'custom'. nat2k15 always polls. 'custom' means you write the server hooks.

A framework you set yourself is never overridden.

Who gets a radio

A codeplug is the radio's programming, and holding one is access. No codeplug, no radio.

tRadio ships open. Out of the box every player is granted the leo codeplug, so the radio works the moment the resource starts, with or without a framework:

Config = {
    codeplugGrants = {
        leo = { everyone = true },
    },
}

Lock it down when your framework is up by replacing that line with the routes you want:

Config = {
    codeplugGrants = {
        leo  = { jobs = { police = 0, sheriff = 0, ambulance = 0, fire = 0 } },
        fire = { jobs = { fire = 0 } },
    },
}

Keys are codeplug IDs from Admin Panel → Codeplugs. Each entry lists ways to be granted it, and any one is enough:

tradio.codeplug.<id> is always accepted as an ACE, listed here or not.

A player holds exactly one codeplug. When several match, the one demanding the highest job grade wins; a tie goes to codeplug ID, and the console names both.

Requiring a physical radio item

Config = {
    requireItem = 'radio',   -- nil requires no item
}

An item required in addition to a codeplug, for everybody. It is checked first, so a player missing both is denied for the item. To exempt someone, grant their codeplug through ace, custom or everyone.

Inventory item requirement

Config = {
    inventory = { system = 'auto' },
}

With Config.requireItem set, tRadio makes that item usable on ox_inventory, QBCore, QBX and ESX by itself. 'auto' detects what your inventory resource supports, including forks.

Carrying the item and using it are two things. A failed registration costs only opening-by-use, but a failed item check denies every player. See Every player is denied radio access.

Opening the radio by using the item

Route 1 — items.lua. Recommended, and universal. No exports, no framework, no minimum version.

-- ox_inventory/data/items.lua
['radio'] = {
    label = 'Radio',
    weight = 500,
    client = { event = 'tradio:client:openRadio' },
},

Route 2 — automatic registration. tRadio probes your inventory at startup and registers every method it can prove will fire:

When nothing can be proven, tRadio prints the items.lua line to add plus a Detected: summary. Quote it in a ticket.

Custom and forked inventories

Two hooks in config/sv_functions.lua, both shipping with working defaults.

For the item check, set system = 'custom' and replace Config.playerHasRadioItem:

Config.playerHasRadioItem = function(serverId)
    local item = Config.requireItem or 'radio'
    local p = promise.new()
    exports.vorp_inventory:getItemCount(serverId, item, function(count) p:resolve(count) end)
    return (Citizen.Await(p) or 0) >= 1
end

For opening the radio by use, fill in Config.registerRadioItemUse, a stub returning false:

Config.registerRadioItemUse = function(itemName, openEvent)
    exports['my_inventory']:RegisterUsableItem(itemName, function(source)
        TriggerClientEvent(openEvent, source)
    end)
    return true
end

• Called once at startup, in a pcall, only when system = 'custom' or auto-detection proved nothing
• Receives itemName and openEvent; fire that event at the player
• Return true if you registered something; anything else falls through to the items.lua advice

Scanner

A scanner is receive-only — no PTT, and the server refuses one. It is an ordinary codeplug with scanner = true, granted in codeplugGrants.

codeplugGrants = {
    scanner = { item = 'police_scanner' },
}

A Scanner codeplug ships as a default alongside LEO, carrying the three default zones and twelve channels with SWX-250 as its layout. It is granted to nobody until you map it.

A scanner with an empty channel list renders as a radio that does nothing — the usual reason a working scanner looks broken. Without a grant for a secure channel it shows ENC.

AI dispatcher

Config.aiDispatch is the only part of the dispatcher in a file. Whether it is on, its channels, callsign and voice are in Admin Panel → Settings → AI Dispatcher; what it may do is Config.aiDispatchTools.

Config.aiDispatch = {
    providers   = {},                          -- all three local
    localEngine = { root = "", textModel = "", transcribeModel = "", voicesDir = "" },
    voices      = { male = { "en_US-ryan-medium" }, female = { "en_US-amy-medium" } },
    wakePhrases = { "dispatch" },
    demeanor    = "",                          -- measured
}

The rest is on AI dispatcher.

Vehicle radio prop

Where it sits is positioned in game per vehicle (/tradio → 3D Prop Editor in the sidebar, needs tlib.admin). This section is which model spawns.

Config = {
    vehicleProp = {
        default = 'ztr540',
        models  = {
            { model = 'ztr540', label = 'ZTR-540 (built in)' },
        },
    },
}

tRadio streams exactly one model itself, ztr540, which cannot be removed. The models list is read at startup.

model is the archetype name from the .ytyp, not the file name, and is case-insensitive. Get it wrong and the vehicle falls back to default.

Behind a reverse proxy

The panels are served on tLib's port, so that is what a proxy sits in front of. The service speaks plain HTTP, and a proxy on 127.0.0.1 needs no trusted-proxy entry.

• Forward WebSocket upgrades — HTTP-only forwarding serves the panel, then fails every connection
• Point the proxy at tlib_http_port, never tRadio's internal loopback port
• Raise the read and send timeouts — nginx cuts a quiet WebSocket at 60 seconds

location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7777;   # must equal tlib_http_port
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    # Without these, nginx closes an idle WebSocket after 60s.
    proxy_read_timeout 86400s;
    proxy_send_timeout 86400s;
}

List your proxy. An unlisted one makes every player count as the same client for rate limiting.

set tradio_trusted_proxies "172.17.0.1, 10.0.0.5"

Required whenever the proxy is not on localhost. Loopback is always trusted, an IPv4 entry also matches its IPv6-mapped form, and the value is read once at startup.

Framework integration

Assigning codeplugs to jobs

The mapping lives under codeplugGrants. sv_functions.lua now only answers what job does this player hold.

The lookup is case-insensitive on all six frameworks. On nat2k15, dept level keys ('lspd_level') and display names ('LSPD') both work. Every job the player holds counts, including ox_core groups and qb gangs.

Different codeplugs per rank. Give each its own minimum grade; the highest the player clears wins. Below, grades 0–2 get leo, 3–7 leo-supervisor and 8+ leo-command.

codeplugGrants = {
    leo                = { jobs = { police = 0 } },
    ['leo-supervisor'] = { jobs = { police = 3 } },
    ['leo-command']    = { jobs = { police = 8 } },
    fire               = { jobs = { fire = 0 } },
},

With no framework running, jobs grants nobody. Use ace, item, custom or everyone on a standalone server.

Server hooks

All in config/sv_functions.lua, shipping with working implementations for every supported framework. Edit them only to change behavior.

getPlayerName's 'custom' branch falls back to GetPlayerName(serverId) — the Steam or FiveM display name, not an RP character name. Return a string, never nil; serverId ≤ 0 means the dispatcher.

Config.getPlayerName = function(serverId)
    if not serverId or serverId <= 0 then return "DISPATCH" end
    local p = MyFramework.GetPlayer(serverId)
    if p and p.charinfo then
        return p.charinfo.firstname .. ' ' .. p.charinfo.lastname
    end
    return "Player " .. serverId
end

Refreshing access after a job change is automatic on QBCore, QBX, ESX, ND_Core and ox_core. To trigger it yourself, call exports['tRadio']:refreshNacId(source).

Client hooks

In config/cl_functions.lua.

Config.canTalk() — runs while PTT is held; return false to block transmission. Returning false mid-transmission force-stops PTT and logs canTalk check failed mid-transmission to F8 — the most common non-hardware cause of "my mic doesn't work".

Config.canTalk = function()
    if IsPlayerDead(PlayerId()) then return false end
    if IsPedSwimming(PlayerPedId()) then return false end
    return true
end

Config.batteryTick(currentBattery, deltaTime) — returns the new battery level, deltaTime in seconds. As shipped, any vehicle charges. Battery Drain in Settings → General skips this hook entirely.

Config.batteryTick = function(currentBattery, deltaTime)
    local vehicle = GetVehiclePedIsIn(PlayerPedId(), false)
    if vehicle ~= 0 then
        return math.min(100.0, currentBattery + (0.5 * deltaTime)) -- full charge in ~3 min
    end
    return math.max(0.0, currentBattery - (0.1 * deltaTime))       -- full drain in ~17 min
end

Zones and channels

Managed live in Admin Panel → Zones & Channels. A zone is a group of channels; a channel is one frequency inside it.

A new zone is invisible until a codeplug references it

Players get channels from their codeplug, so a zone in no codeplug is invisible — no error, no warning. This is the most common "I set it up and nothing works" report. Two steps:

1. Zones & Channels → Add Zone, then add channels and save
2. Codeplugs → Channel Access, on every codeplug that should hear them

An unreferenced zone carries a Not in any codeplug badge, and saving a new one prompts once.

Channel types

Conventional — one shared frequency. Everyone connected hears everyone else regardless of location. Use this for almost everything.

Trunked — units get a sub-frequency by location, so crews across the map do not step on each other. Needs a frequency range and a coverage radius. Dispatchers work it two-way through its control frequency, and the log groups the talkgroup under one entry.

Direct / simplex channels

A conventional channel can use the Direct / Simplex RF path: radio-to-radio, no repeater, no towers. RF path is separate from Mode, so a direct channel can be analog or P25.

• Reception is per radio. Two units 3 km apart can both talk without hearing each other. A two-bar lead wins; similar strength gets neither
• Channel busy is per radio too — only traffic your own radio hears blocks you
• Signal bars show what you are receiving, not coverage
• Speakers, vehicle radios, gunshots, explosions and sirens follow the same rule
• Players in different routing buckets never hear each other
• Dispatch needs a base radio, or the channel is left off the panel entirely

Obstruction checks are short-range — tested under 500 m, and can only shorten the range. Longer links use the distance envelope alone.

Direct channels cannot be trunked, patched or grouped — each would act as a hidden repeater. Channels sharing a frequency must share RF settings, or that frequency carries no direct traffic.

Channel fields

What secure does. The icon shows steadily and blinks on an encrypted call, and an ungranted scanner shows ENC. It does not scramble audio.

Each channel has a generated channel ID shown under its name (disp-lx1gi). That ID is what codeplugs reference — not the frequency, not the name.

Trunked channels need a valid frequency range and coverage. Range start must be below range end and coverage above 0. Sub-frequencies step by 0.0125 MHz, so a narrower range hands out nothing.

A panel save is refused with the reason. A hand-edited file is coerced where it safely can be, so check the console after a hand-edit.

Frequencies, coverage and frequencyRange normalize to four decimal places. Startup also reports, by name, a missing Channels list, a missing or non-numeric frequency, a missing type, and two channels sharing a frequency inside one zone.

Reordering zones and channels

Each zone card and channel row has a drag handle (⠿), and the new order is what players see. Channels reorder only within their zone.

Hiding a zone from dispatch

A Hide from dispatch toggle keeps a zone's channels off the panel and its traffic out of the log and user counts. In game it works as before.

Announcement groups

A group is a named set of channel IDs: a dispatcher arms one and their next PTT fans out to all of them. Each can get its own PTT key. Two ship: * DISP and * C2C.

Geo zones

Admin Panel → Coverage → Areas. A circular area that switches a player's radio to a target frequency when they walk in, and back when they leave.

Auto-switching is opt-in per player and per zone: the master Geo Auto-Switch toggle plus the zone's checkbox in /tradio → Behavior → Zones. /tradio_debug coords copies your position.

Codeplugs

A codeplug is a radio personality: which channels a player gets, which models they can pick, which features are on, and what the emergency button does. Managed in Admin Panel → Codeplugs; granted in codeplugGrants.

Codeplug sections

Minimum viable codeplug: an ID, a name, one allowed model, one channel. Changes reach a player the next time their job loads or you call refreshNacId.

Scan lists

A radio scans the list of the channel it is on, the way a real one does. Players turn scanning on and off and edit lists on the radio; see Scanning.

A real radio has one Priority 1 and one Priority 2 per list, and the panel warns when a list has more. Giving a channel a priority takes it from the one that had it.

Which list each channel scans, under Scan Lists → Which list each channel scans:

With lists but no default, unassigned channels scan the first list. With none at all, every player gets a Personal list built with Edit Scan. Scan shows No scan list or List empty accordingly. Deleting a list returns its channels to the default.

Talkback and hang time. Each list has both, and a row above the lists sets them for the Personal list and anything on Use default:

The panel warns when a Talkback list holds scan-only channels, where a stopped player gets the bonk. Satellite players cannot use talkback at all.

Home softkey banks

Codeplugs → Home Softkeys programs the Home softkey row. Two banks: conventional (and no channel) and trunked. Leave a bank on Use default, or Customize to choose and order the keys.

Defaults are ZnUp Zone ZnDn Chan Scan Nuis ScnL Optn Loc Info then Alrt (conventional) or Ctrl/Trnk (trunked). Clck, ChUp/ChDn and Vol appear only if added. That order leaves Chan on page two of a three-key radio.

Unusable keys are skipped and the row closes up: scan keys without scan, Loc without GPS, supervisor keys without Supervisor Access. The panel warns, without blocking, when a bank omits Zone, Chan or Optn.

Menu timeout. Off by default; Turn on sets 30 seconds, and 5–300 is allowed. An idle radio returns to Home with the MENU_INACTIVE_EXIT tone, discarding anything unconfirmed. See Menu timeout.

Display

The time comes from Settings → General → Radio clock time. The zone letter appears only on the QRX-720H top view.

Emergency profiles

Codeplugs → Emergency Configuration programs the emergency button: every channel runs one profile. See Emergency for how each mode behaves.

Each profile has:

Which profile each channel uses works like scan list assignment: a default plus per-channel overrides. A No emergency channel gives a short reject tone, a conventional channel inheriting Call runs it as Alarm + Call, and Emergency Button off disables emergency everywhere.

A codeplug saved before profiles existed shows as a single Default profile built from its original settings.

Server-wide safety limits sit outside the codeplug: Panic Alert Timeout and Panic Alert Cooldown in Settings → Audio & Radio.

How access is resolved

Every radio open attempt and every refreshNacId call runs this chain. A player gets the union of codeplug access and ACE grants.

Nothing configured? With no framework, no Discord mapping and only jobs routes, tRadio runs standalone: every job-mapped codeplug goes to every player, and the console prints one Standalone: line. Add any other route, and grants are read strictly.

ACE permissions

An alternative or supplement to codeplug assignment. tradio.codeplug.{id} has the highest priority and overrides codeplugGrants.

add_ace identifier.steam:110000100000001 tradio.codeplug.leo allow
add_ace group.ems tradio.connect.154755 allow
add_ace group.ems tradio.scan.8561125 allow
add_ace group.ems tradio.zone.1 allow
add_ace group.admin tlib.admin allow

Frequency keys drop the decimal point: 154.815 → 154815. A precise form keeps it as an underscore — 154_815 — because dropping it is lossy: 1.23 and 12.3 both become 123. tRadio warns on startup if yours collide.

Pre-7.0 tRadio.* spellings are still honoured, and the console names each once per start.

Server settings

Admin Panel → Server Settings, four tabs. Every value applies live to all connected clients unless marked restart required.

General tab

The three Man-Down settings are the only ones that raise an emergency without a key press. Read Man down first.

Audio & Radio tab

Audio Defaults — applied when a player first connects.

PTT & Transmission

Half-Duplex (Bonking) — what happens when someone keys up over another unit.

3D Positional Audio — everything below the master switch is hidden until it is on.

Signal Coverage

Degradation does nothing until towers exist — see Signal towers.

Dispatch Scanning — Simultaneous Scan Audio (default false). Off, a transmission on the dispatcher's main channel mutes scanned channels. On, every scanned channel plays independently.

Radio Audio Effects — see Radio FX.

Keybinds

The radio key shows a hidden radio, focuses a visible one, and hides a focused one. Escape returns control to the game. Rebind in FiveM → Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.

Advanced tab

Earpiece / Items — GTA outfit slots that switch earbuds on automatically. Clothing is checked every 7 seconds; a manual toggle holds until it changes.

Networking & Limits — Control Message Rate Limit (default 120, range 30–2000). Control-plane messages per connection per 10 seconds — joins, leaves, scan edits, PTT starts. Voice is never counted.

LB Phone / LB Radio — see LB Phone and LB Radio. CAD / MDT — see CAD / MDT.

Radio layouts

Each radio model is a folder in layouts/, its screen described by ui.html using data- attributes. None of it changes channels, menus or keys. Apply with restart tRadio.

Everything else is ordinary CSS in the layout's ui.html. Copy a shipped model's folder and edit it.

Sounds

Admin Panel → Sounds. All changes broadcast instantly.

Tone catalog

Every tone is a named slot mapped to a WAV. Map them under Global Tone Mappings, and upload new WAVs from Marketplace → Sounds.

Per-model overrides replace one tone for one model, or drop WAVs at layouts/{MODEL}/sounds/{TONE_NAME}.wav.

GUNSHOT ships as bgShot.wav, the one slot not named after its file. Clearing the mapping restores it rather than silencing gunshots.

EXPLOSION defaults to explosion.wav. Networked explosions within 150 m of a transmitting player are picked up; client-local ones are not.

Adding a sound

Drop the file into layouts/sounds/ — no folder to create, no manifest to write. The server lists any .wav there on the Sounds page, without a restart.

layouts/sounds/
  ptt.wav
  transStart.wav
  airhorn.wav              <- yours

.ogg and .mp3 play too and install from the marketplace, but a bare .ogg dropped in by hand is not auto-discovered.

Background sounds

These fixed-filename WAVs in layouts/sounds/ play during a received transmission and cannot be renamed:

bgShot.wav is not here: it is the stock file behind the remappable GUNSHOT slot.

Background Sound Modes maps what Config.bgModeCheck returns to WAV files. Three ship: siren, helicopter, k9; unmapped modes play nothing. For a WAV per siren tone, return distinct modes:

if tone == 2 then return "sirenWail" end
if tone == 3 then return "sirenYelp" end
if tone > 0  then return "siren"     end

Siren detection

Which ELS resource bgModeCheck reads to decide a siren is on.

Auto order is tELS → LVC / LVC Fleet → ELS-FiveM → JLS → ALS → native. Each returns "not my vehicle" for a car it does not know, so mixed fleets work. Force a re-poll with exports['tRadio']:NotifySirenChanged().

Radio FX

The DSP chain applied to incoming radio voice: mic → input gain → highpass → lowpass → compressor → limiter → saturation → mid EQ → output.

Digital is separate and per-channel — there is no global P25 switch. Set Mode to P25 Digital and System type to IMBE or M17 codec2. The analog chain applies on top, and the session's first transmission has a brief warm-up.

Update server and clients together. A client from an earlier release decodes the new IMBE frames with the old engine and hears distorted, overloud audio.

About Codec 2. The M17 system type is Codec 2, copyright David Rowe and contributors, under the LGPL 2.1. It is a separate, replaceable module, and nothing else in tRadio is covered by that license.

Alerts

Admin Panel → Alerts. An alert banners every radio on the channel, and the first alert in the list is what the in-game Alrt key fires. Each has three phases with optional tones: activate, repeat (persistent only), deactivate.

Four ship by default: SIGNAL 100, SIGNAL 3, Ping and Bonk.

Speakers

Admin Panel → Coverage → Speakers. World-placed tone-board speakers a dispatcher can broadcast to. Grab coordinates with /tradio_debug coords; dispatchers use the Speakers button (see Working the board).

Signal towers

Admin Panel → Coverage → Towers. Signal strength falls off with distance from the nearest tower, so coverage is a union of reaches, not a sum. Leave gaps where players should lose signal.

Integrations

LB Phone and LB Radio

Fully managed in Settings → Advanced. Nothing to configure in config.lua, and the two are independent.

The dial-in carries a restart badge: each player gets one 911 entry point on connect, and FiveM cannot un-register a chat command mid-session. The mirror applies live.

CAD / MDT

Fully managed in Settings → Advanced, and both toggles apply live.

There is nothing to install or key in. LACORE, SonoranCAD, ImperialCAD, wasabi_mdt, tk_mdt and ps-mdt are detected from the running resource. What each supports is listed under AI Dispatcher → CAD.

Panic is a call. Every CAD with a panic concept implements it as a call carrying an urgency marker. Those with a dedicated officer-in-distress alert get that instead.

ImperialCAD needs its resource started under exactly that name, with its own imperial_community_id and imperialAPI convars. A mirrored call is deleted only if it dies unanswered.

911 hooks

Two optional hooks in config/sv_functions.lua, both with sensible defaults.

-- The caller ID a dispatcher sees. A real 911 dispatcher only gets a number, so this —
-- not getPlayerName — is what the call card shows. Default: the caller's real LB Phone
-- number, otherwise a stable 555-XXXX placeholder derived from their license.
Config.getCall911CallerNumber = function(serverId)
    return "555-0142"
end

-- Fires when a call is placed while no dispatch panel is connected. The call still queues.
-- Default: chat-broadcast to every player with radio access.
-- `call` fields: callerName, callerUnitId, callerNumber, message, coords, frequency, createdAt.
Config.call911NoDispatcherFallback = function(call)
    -- Discord webhook, NPC dispatch, or your own alerting here
end

Multi-server federation

Run several game servers against one shared voice server and dispatch panel.

• Host (Server A) runs the voice backend and must set exposeWeb = true
• Satellites run no backend. They federate player, panic, tone and alert state to the host, needing outbound access only

-- host
Config = {
    exposeWeb         = true,
    isSatelliteServer = false,
    hostServerUrl     = "",                          -- must stay empty on the host
    authToken         = "<20+ random characters>",
}

-- each satellite
Config = {
    hostServerUrl     = "http://203.0.113.10:7777",  -- the host's public URL, port included
    isSatelliteServer = true,
    authToken         = "<same value as the host>",
}

A satellite with an empty hostServerUrl is rejected at startup with isSatelliteServer=true requires hostServerUrl to be set to the host server's URL.

Satellites pull config every 30 seconds, and 911 calls need the host's voice server.
