Now THIS is what I wanted to hear. So I guess as long as I can ping
the AllStar server, then it will work.
We have a large wireless LAN network but each geographical section
is on its own ip range. I have 10 repeater sites I want to link up.
Looks like my D-Star project must be put on hold for awhile.
Anyone want to buy 4x URIx's?

You must be pulling my co-ax, or is this really true?

Another thing I probably should have mentioned is that the
RTCM/Voter module uses an
Internet protocol that is specifically designed to work on ANY
Internet connection from which
"generic web surfing" is possible (behind any number of NAT
routers/firewalls, etc and
where LAN address is provided via DHCP). No "port forwarding" or
"network provisioning"
nightmares are necessary. You can just plug it in and it works.

Jim,
Okay so one server running
Allstar node software at a central location (like my
house) can support a dozen RTCM's being used as
"Generic" conventional
full duplex (repeaters)
radio interfaces on far away hilltops even if I do not
want to use the
RTCM GPS-Timing Multi receiver voting or Simulcast
Transmitter features?
As long as I have some
sort of internet connection at the remote sites back to
my house?
If I understand this
correctly this would mean that:
1) No cost of computer
at the radio site.
2) No worry about the node
computer locking up at the remote radio site and having
to reboot or reset it.
3) No cost other than the
RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module) to setup an Allstar node at
the remote radio site. (no computer, no URI, no Sound
FOB)
4) If I use the RTCM
(Radio Thin Client Module) I have the ability to setup a
normal Allstar node at the present time and then
later if I want to I can upgrade the hilltop
for GPS-Timing Multi
receiver voting and Simulcast Transmitter by simply adding a GPS
receiver at the site and reconfiguring the software.
If so, this seems like a
pretty cool little piece of hardware!

Yeah, that's the general idea. The location
of the Linux server running app_rpt/Asterisk can be
more or less anywhere within Internet connectivity of all
of the receiver and/or transmitter sites.
Of course, "Internet" can mean either some sort of public
Internet connection, or a privately-provided
Internet connection (low-cost microwave link(s), etc).
The only limitation is that an RTCM/Voter module *must* be
located on the same LAN as the Linux
server, to at least provide a GPS-based timing reference.
A system could be set up with a server
located in some sort of datacenter "on the ground", and
all the radios could have an RTCM "on the
hill" with them, and as long as there is Internet
connectivity of some sort between each of them
and the server, the system will work nicely. That is
providing that there is an RTCM located at
the server location also (whether or not that particular
RTCM has radio hardware connected to it
or not).
One minimal Linux server can easily support 1 or 2 dozen
RTCM's (on 1 or 2 allstar nodes),
and a larger server could easily support MANY dozens of
them on dozens of allstar nodes.
Of course, you REALLY dont want to put too many of them on
a single server, being a potential
single point of failure. For pretty much any practical
purpose, the reasonable limitation is
the point of failure/redundancy issue, not technical
limitations.
I'm not sure if you were clear on this, so I thought I
would mention that the RTCM is not just
usable as a GPS-timing-based Multi-Receiver Voting system
and/or a Simulcast Transmitter system.
It can also be used as a "generic" radio interface for a
conventional (non-GPS-based) either simplex
or full duplex (repeater) radio. The advantage of doing
this would be to not have the Linux
host "on the hill" with the radio (as mentioned above). In
addition, the RTCM allows for
portable/mobile operation with a mobile/portable Internet
connection in both the GPS-based
and non-GPS-based environments.

I have been looking at the
Allstar RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module) and it
really looks like a GREAT product and addition to
the already cool Allstar hardware.
Among all the other cool features of
the RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module)
like Transmitter Simulcasting and Receiver
Voting, if I understand the documentation
correctly you can use this very
small Radio Thin Client Module at a remote radio
site to set up an Allstar repeater node if the
site has internet connection without a COMPUTER at
the site?
Then you can point the node on the
hilltop back to a server on the ground somewhere
that is easy to get too?
How many total sites can
you use Radio Thin Client Modules on and point
back to a single server on the ground?
If this is the case, All I can say is
WOW, how cool!
