[App_rpt-users] Changing Node Numbers

[David Osborn]

Hi,

I have just followed Jim's instructions to change a node's port number.

1.	Visit the portal and change the number there.
2.	Edited IAX.Conf and restarted.

This is a test node that is co-sited with node 2481 on port 4569 - hence the
need for another port.

When I attempted to connect to the node (2484) from the web transceiver, the
call failed. Looking at the console for 2484 showed no incoming activity, it
turned out that the call was being directed to node 2481 on port 4569; the
Web Transceiver was using the old port number.

I attempted to connect to 2484 from another node and that also failed. It
transpired that rpt_extnodes had now got two entries for 2484. Here's an
extract from the file:

2480=radio at 87.254.94.29:4568/2480,87.254.94.29
2481=radio at 89.107.6.110:4569/2481,89.107.6.110
2482=radio at 87.254.94.29:4569/2482,87.254.94.29
2483=radio at 217.28.14.128:4569/2483,217.28.14.128
2484=radio at 89.107.6.110:4569/2484,89.107.6.110
2484=radio at 89.107.6.110:4568/2484,89.107.6.110
2490=radio at 68.227.84.117:4569/2490,68.227.84.117

This extract was taken more than an hour after making the portal changes.

Is this a problem with the node list updates, or have I missed something?

Incidentally, I manually corrected the list and the call succeeded straight
off the bat.

Another, somewhat unrelated thing....

I instructed the portal to download the configuration to the server - it
didn't! What am I missing here? I have run the scripts on the support page,
which did the first-time download, but nothing since.
