This "control" station is, under the FCC rules, called an auxiliary station defined by the FCC as "An amateur station, other than a message forwarding system, that is transmitting commu#nications point-to-point within a system of cooperating amateur stations. When an amateur station, such as a repeater, is remotely controlled over a radio link, there is another station involved-the station doing the controlling. This is commonly referred to as a "downlink." This is the equivalent of replacing the wire between the receiver's audio output terminals and its loudspeaker with a radio link from the receiver to a remotely located loudspeaker. (This is the equivalent of replacing the wire between the microphone and the transmitter's mike input with a radio link from the microphone to the remotely located transmitter.) This is commonly referred to as an "uplink." (d) Point-to-point links from the receiver(s) of a remotely located station back to the station's control operator(s) at their control point(s). (c) A combination of remote control and point-to-point voice links intended to control and carry the voice signals from the control point to the transmitter(s) of a remotely controlled station. (b) Dedicated point-to-point links between different repeaters in a "system" of either full-time or part-time linked repeaters. There are several forms of auxiliary operation, such as:***** 1) Remote control of a station at a different location (such as a repeater on a mountaintop), where a radio link is used to make one-way transmissions of DTMF tones to change its operating parameters ******2) Voice links between two or more stations within a system of stations, such as: (a) Point-to-point links from a repeater's remote receiver(s) back to the main repeater site. What are the uses for auxiliary stations? I run an RF link, and this is especially concerning. Also, see where such stations may not be open to the public. What I got tagged (*****) is interesting, because, an RF link owner of a simplex link is controlling a radio remotely, via his DTMF pad. ALSO, according to this, a remote base cannot be open to the public, as control operators must be specifically designated by the owner of the station.
This is confusing, because an RF node could be a "remote base" which is an auxillary station.
If you have something like a station on 10 meters linked to your repeater using EchoLink, that would be like using EchoLink instead of an auxiliary station.

To me that means something like point-to-point repeater or remote bases links or for a phone patch on a repater that doesn't have a phone line at the repeater site. An amateur station, other than in a message forwarding system, that is transmitting communications point-to-point within a system of cooperating amateur stations. If you have a VoIP link at your house so that you can run around and talk to other stations on your hand held or in your car, I don't see how that would be considered an auxiliary station. Otherwise it is no different than any other fixed or mobile station. As far as I'm concerned that only applies if the station is used as a point-to-point link to feed Echolink/IRLP to a repeater or something. Your study guide doesn't say ALL VoIP stations are ALWAYS auxiliary stations.
