Jim,
It sounds like you have a ways to go with this project!  

First thing is to login, now that you have the prompt.  So where it asks you to login, type "root" and then your password.  That should get you to the prompt on the terminal session.

This software all runs from a terminal, there is not a GUI to reduce the learning curve.  So you will be at the command prompt for all the work.  Are you currently a Linux user?  

What you are installing with the ACID install is a Linux distribution called CENTOS ver. 5.7 and the Asterisk PBX plus the app_rpt repeater control program.  Asterisk+app_rpt is both a server and an application.  You should approach it as a server that you will be configuring to control your repeater or node radio.  You do have a built in applicaton which you can access by typing "asterisk -rv" from the command prompt in the terminal.  You will then be presented with a prompt that looks like this.

[root at test asterisk]# asterisk -rvv

Connected to Asterisk  currently running on test (pid = 2572)
Verbosity is at least 3
test*CLI> 

This will not work out unless you have the USB FOB connected.  The GMK URI is a good choice.  If it is connected, you will be able to configure the node.

Hope this helps you to move forward.  Write if I can be of further assistance, or if I completely miss understood the question, rephrase it and I'll try again. Hi Hi

Oh... One more thing... Do you have to have a server and a node? The web site is a bit un-clear on this. I just want to have a node that will connect to other nodes and the WIN System Allstar
reflector.

Thanks!

Group.. I'm having some issues getting a new node set up and have some questions. Not sure if this is the right forum or not.


I successfully loaded the OS twice.. I apparently mistyped my password when the install asked me for it. After I put it in in-correctly, the screen went to a login prompt... now I cant
figure out how to re-start the install without starting from square 1. I've searched the internet and found little information on the actual node install.


Can anyone point me to some?
Thanks!
