From jrorke at cogeco.ca Sun Jul 3 23:33:09 2011 From: jrorke at cogeco.ca (REDBUTTON_CTRL) Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2011 19:33:09 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] GP I0 on multi nodes Message-ID: <4E10FC35.7020408@cogeco.ca> Hi All, I set up a node to use the GPIO1 on the URI to enable a WX radio decoder. Works fine if the box has only one node on it. If I have a box with several nodes like 2 or 3 on it and I only want to control on one of the nodes, the the GPIO pin doesnt seem to switch on or off. Is there some special programming required if you have a multi-node box? I have these defined in the functions table: 921=cop,61,GPIO1=1 ; Turn on GPIO 1 920=cop,61,GPIO1=0 ; Turn off GPIO 1 and in the usbradio.conf I have this on the stanza for the particular node I want to use: gpio1=out 0 ; GPIO 1 set to oputput, default off(0). The versio of app_rpt is 0.281 And the distro is acid. Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?

It's going to be a simplex (for now) node with the future potential to be linked to my local 70cm repeater. I am finding one little problem that I can't seem to solve. I have set duplex in usbradio.conf to zero (0) and duplex in rpt.conf to one (1), but as soon as my node radio receives a transmission, it keys up straight away... over the incoming transmission, almost as if it is still configured for duplex mode. This makes it real hard to enter any DTMF codes. (-: Where should be I looking to solve this? I am handling CTCSS (both TX and RX) in the node radio itself (I am using a Simoco SRM9000 VHF commercial radio). I have a low going logic level that has been tied to the radios "valid signal" flag which is set to CTCSS 107.2Hz, this is fed to the COS input on my URI. The audio output from the radio is squelched, highpass filtered and de-emphasised. I have set carrierfrom=usb and ctcssfrom=no, I think this then disables CTCSS decoding within the computer. Does this also disable transmitting CTCSS? I have set txmixa=voice which I presume also stops CTCSS from being output from the URI. I look forward to hearing from you all... via the email list and on air too!

That should get you simplex node working. Also there will be no telemetry but you will hear connect /disconnect messages. If there is no statement in Rpt.conf for duplex, it operates in full duplex by default. Hope this helps.

I am being a nice employee and have offered the boss the use of my personal gear while his IFR 500A is away getting fixed! I do like the telemetry tones but I have also reduced my hangtime a little, something very calming about those beeps!

I am migrating from IRLP to Allstar and hope to get this all done before our first hurricane. Believe me I have been googleing all over the place and I just can't seem to get anywhere.. In fact, I think I even might have signed up to an old email list??? Never got a response, but now I signed up today and got it this time.. Ah, that google can misdirect you at times.. I built the first node one almost a year ago, but got busy with my career and then I missed the migration.. I have since learned that there is a SYSOP mode (which I converted to) but I really am not certain I understand the concept completely. Is there a flowchart or something that can explain this to me? Plus I have never really seen a good document that explains the network, so I am trying to get up to speed. So here are a few questions I have that I hope someone can help direct me to answers. 1. Does the "sever" get a node #? If so, how do I figure out what it is or assign it one? (I have three nodes requested and granted, can the server be one of the nodes?) 2. Is there a command list that I can get that will allow CLI connect commands to other nodes? (i.e. Equivalent to decode xxxx in IRLP) 3. When looking at the URI interface to a GM300, I only see connections for PTT, audio in / out and ground.. Where is COS / PL detect? Someone told me that the URI actually decoded PL.. Is this true? 4. My goal is to link multiple repeaters and nodes in a more permanent fashion and then also be able to link (while all of these nodes can participate) to other Allstar nodes. Did going to SYSOP mode ensure that I can arrange to meet this goal? 5. Is there a comprehensive manual that addresses some of these types of questions that can be had? I know some of you are saying "oh no another newbie" but please bear with me as I do catch up fast and I will get this down in no time.. There are a few of us down here in South Florida that are all in the same boat. And some are afraid to chime in.. We just need some direction as we have never seen any documentation as of yet.. I promise to return the favor some day J 73 and thanks in advance Lu KA4EPS Nodes: 27869, 27870, 27873 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Did going to SYSOP mode ensure that I can arrange to meet this goal? System operator just means that you can configure your node(s) from the web site.

I Just need clarification on the purpose of the following two inputs used on the URI CTCSS_DET COR_DET If I use CTCSS decoding within the receiver, would I set the repeater configuration to use appropriate signal on CTCSS_DET and just set the COR to none? I never use CSQ, so I assume I would never use the COR_DET line, correct? And let's say I used RX Discriminator processing on another node and not rely on the receiver CTCSS decoder, do I just not tie the CTCSS and COR to anything and set them to none? And I assume I set CTCSS From:: to "decoding using RX audio in DSP" Correct?

I have a remote base onto another repeater's output; could use althangtime for this? 3) Ability to have local repeater audio override or mute any incoming remote/link audio. I hate that they mix, but understand this is a conference-call style phone system we're dealing with. 4) Ability to use a local-PL/link-PL style setup in a large linked system. I'll do my best to code and test; but am ready to go back to circuits and solder if these are unreasonable. I've entered change requests in Mantis, but never got any results.

No problem though as I can still get it done. (Odd huh?) 2. Audio occasionally sounds like it is motorboating. This is not packet loss as even the ID sounds like it is slowing down and pulsing.. It almost sounds like an IRQ conflict. I tried to change USB ports, turned off all unused devices such as serial ports, parallel ports etc.. It clears up on the next transmission of audio, or sometimes during the transmission.. Any thoughts? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Additionally...are you transmitting PL tones? If you are, and you're not depending on the radio hardware (ie you're doing all the audio processing in Asterisk, and doing direct FM injection), you can try using reversing the phase of the pl before carrier drop to quiet the end user receiver before dropping RF carrier. Old technique to quiet the receiver before dropping carrier. Getting all of these to work correctly is a balancing act between what the radio can do, and how that coincides with how Asterisk views the world.

Something like this at the temp threshold that you want to alarm: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=3455RC%2001000247-ND Find out the temp were it's failing now, and select a switch maybe 5 or 10 degrees lower.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I adjusted hangtime and all it does is extend the repeater hang time. As for the reverse burst method, it works great with radios that support is like Motorola portables. The problem is that the VX5-R does not support reverse burst. The repeater is a Motorola repeater, so I pulled the TX PL reed out and got excited about the chicken burst option on the APP_RPT.. But it still gives me squelch burst.. Like I said, I just need another 100 MS (200 to be safe) to make this work.. Is this a parameter that cannot be tweaked? If not, I can always build an external piece of hardware to add the additional delay on the PTT. I just thought it might be easier to do this in software. Or I can simply wait for a future APP_RPT release that might have this variable defined to help those with radios that need a little bit more time in the CTCSS timeout sequence. 73 Lu, KA4EPS From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

In the "notone" mode, the CTCSS encoding is present on all transmissions, including CWID, announcements etc. Then at the end of each transmission, the CTCSS encoding stops at hang timer expiration and then the PTT is released about 300-500 ms later. I will need to measure that to confirm the amount. For most radios the current amount of delay is sufficient, but Yaesu wants a tad bit more delay before the mute occurs, thus you still hear the squelch burst.. Obviously this has no bearing on operation as everything works fine, however for the purpose of improving the process / project, I simply wanted to point it out. Sounds like this is nothing a config file can fix at this time, but in a future release, the option to tweak this parameter or perhaps a second predefined value would be a plus.

That would be when the input CTCSS is detected as stopping or when some recording, or ID, has finished. Of course it takes some finite amount of time for Asterisk DSP to decide that the input CTCSS has really stopped. Then the hang timer starts timing. The PTT drops when the hang timer times out. The CTCSS will have been stopped essentially for the duration of the hang timer. GL Ken From: Lu Vencl [mailto:vencl at att.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:15 PM To: 'Ken'; 'Paul J. Agamata'; bdboyle at bdboyle.com; app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Chicken Burst tweak So let me lay out a few notes to clarify. In the "notone" mode, the CTCSS encoding is present on all transmissions, including CWID, announcements etc. Then at the end of each transmission, the CTCSS encoding stops at hang timer expiration and then the PTT is released about 300-500 ms later. I will need to measure that to confirm the amount. For most radios the current amount of delay is sufficient, but Yaesu wants a tad bit more delay before the mute occurs, thus you still hear the squelch burst.. Obviously this has no bearing on operation as everything works fine, however for the purpose of improving the process / project, I simply wanted to point it out. Sounds like this is nothing a config file can fix at this time, but in a future release, the option to tweak this parameter or perhaps a second predefined value would be a plus.

People that use non motorola radios on my repeater have no issues with squelch tail when I set it up that way. I don't know what your using for a repeater but my Quantar's work just fine setting it up that way. I use CTCSS from the Quantar instead of the software CTCSS from the software.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I adjusted hangtime and all it does is extend the repeater hang time. As for the reverse burst method, it works great with radios that support is like Motorola portables. The problem is that the VX5-R does not support reverse burst. The repeater is a Motorola repeater, so I pulled the TX PL reed out and got excited about the chicken burst option on the APP_RPT.. But it still gives me squelch burst.. Like I said, I just need another 100 MS (200 to be safe) to make this work.. Is this a parameter that cannot be tweaked? If not, I can always build an external piece of hardware to add the additional delay on the PTT. I just thought it might be easier to do this in software. Or I can simply wait for a future APP_RPT release that might have this variable defined to help those with radios that need a little bit more time in the CTCSS timeout sequence. 73 Lu, KA4EPS From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

Additionally...are you transmitting PL tones? If you are, and you're not depending on the radio hardware (ie you're doing all the audio processing in Asterisk, and doing direct FM injection), you can try using reversing the phase of the pl before carrier drop to quiet the end user receiver before dropping RF carrier. Old technique to quiet the receiver before dropping carrier. Getting all of these to work correctly is a balancing act between what the radio can do, and how that coincides with how Asterisk views the world.

You're already using Asterisk to encode PL, and you already it configured to send chicken burst, correct? And now, you just want the chicken burst hang time to be longer than what Asterisk is providing, right? So, use the PL board *without* the PL reed to extend the chicken burst hang time.

I just tested a new node I am installing on Saturday with a pair of headphones, and all transmissions including other node transmissions contain PL until 500 ms prior the PTT is released.

Agamata'; bdboyle at bdboyle.com; app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Chicken Burst tweak Not exactly - The CTCSS stops as soon as Asterisk wants to stop it. That would be when the input CTCSS is detected as stopping or when some recording, or ID, has finished. Of course it takes some finite amount of time for Asterisk DSP to decide that the input CTCSS has really stopped. Then the hang timer starts timing. The PTT drops when the hang timer times out. The CTCSS will have been stopped essentially for the duration of the hang timer. GL Ken From: Lu Vencl [mailto:vencl at att.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:15 PM To: 'Ken'; 'Paul J. Agamata'; bdboyle at bdboyle.com; app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Chicken Burst tweak So let me lay out a few notes to clarify. In the "notone" mode, the CTCSS encoding is present on all transmissions, including CWID, announcements etc. Then at the end of each transmission, the CTCSS encoding stops at hang timer expiration and then the PTT is released about 300-500 ms later. I will need to measure that to confirm the amount. For most radios the current amount of delay is sufficient, but Yaesu wants a tad bit more delay before the mute occurs, thus you still hear the squelch burst.. Obviously this has no bearing on operation as everything works fine, however for the purpose of improving the process / project, I simply wanted to point it out. Sounds like this is nothing a config file can fix at this time, but in a future release, the option to tweak this parameter or perhaps a second predefined value would be a plus.

Another thing that might help the situation is even though your using COS from the USB, you may want to find out what your high water mark from your squelch is when you key up your repeater and set the rxsquelch to just below that.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I adjusted hangtime and all it does is extend the repeater hang time. As for the reverse burst method, it works great with radios that support is like Motorola portables. The problem is that the VX5-R does not support reverse burst. The repeater is a Motorola repeater, so I pulled the TX PL reed out and got excited about the chicken burst option on the APP_RPT.. But it still gives me squelch burst.. Like I said, I just need another 100 MS (200 to be safe) to make this work.. Is this a parameter that cannot be tweaked? If not, I can always build an external piece of hardware to add the additional delay on the PTT. I just thought it might be easier to do this in software. Or I can simply wait for a future APP_RPT release that might have this variable defined to help those with radios that need a little bit more time in the CTCSS timeout sequence. 73 Lu, KA4EPS From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

Additionally...are you transmitting PL tones? If you are, and you're not depending on the radio hardware (ie you're doing all the audio processing in Asterisk, and doing direct FM injection), you can try using reversing the phase of the pl before carrier drop to quiet the end user receiver before dropping RF carrier. Old technique to quiet the receiver before dropping carrier. Getting all of these to work correctly is a balancing act between what the radio can do, and how that coincides with how Asterisk views the world.

You're already using Asterisk to encode PL, and you already it configured to send chicken burst, correct? And now, you just want the chicken burst hang time to be longer than what Asterisk is providing, right? So, use the PL board *without* the PL reed to extend the chicken burst hang time. In other words, the PL board is just being used to keep the PTT keyed longer, thus extending the length of the chicken burst length. --- Jeff WN3A > -----Original Message----- > From: Lu Vencl [mailto:vencl at att.net] > Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:57 PM > To: 'Jeff DePolo'; app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org > Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Chicken Burst tweak > > Well that would not work either..

I have not seen this exact problem, but I have seen a problem where echolink users connect to our allstar/echolink node but no audio is passed. They can key up the node but it just transmits a carrier with no audio. For some, possibly most, echolink users it works just fine. I have chalked this up to either bad audio configuration on the echolink user's end or bad port forwarding configuration, but have not done any real investigation. I have not seen the continuous kerchunking that you describe. (And I hope that I don't, that sounds super annoying!) Sorry ...

Then select your radio interface type as beagle (BeagleBoard-xM with LOX board). Then you will see a selection for port. Port 1 is closest to the Ethernet connector on Beagle. Finally, download the server configuration with your node to the Beagle with/LOX. That should do it! 8-Dale From steve at michiganbroadband.com Sat Jul 16 16:20:29 2011 From: steve at michiganbroadband.com (Steve Gladden) Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:20:29 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] FWIW...

I installed an Belkin Hi-Speen USB 2.0 Dual-Port PCI card in my Asus box in the hopes that this would solve my motorboating problem because I just have no other idea what could be causing this motorboating issue on all of these boxes (same ASUS motherboard) and have exhausted all other options as far as I know. So I also had no audio as described my Michael, so since I really had nothing to lose, I just reinstalled the entire package and that got the audio working and when it did work, the motorboating issue seemed to be completely gone! The only problem that I had was that after a period of time, the audio and telemetry would just stop working again. If I restarted asterisk, it would return most of the time.. Worse case, I would reboot the box and it would also return but to only disappear minutes later. So I finally gave up and just found another box that did not use the same ASUS motherboard to get my next node built.. Since I do have 8 of these boxes, I would like to find a solution though as I really would hate to toss them out and I have 8 nodes to deploy here in South Florida. If anyone knows of a USB card that does work, let me know and I will try it.. I did read that some of these cards will only do USB 1.1 under Centos 5.5 and above.. Not sure if that could be the issue? Are we supposed to be USB 2.0 with the URI? I am going to look at what Paul suggested one more time with this USB card just in case, but since it does work for a short time, I figured that it must be configured correctly, no? I would appreciate any comments. Thanks and 73 Lu KA4EPS .. -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Paul J.

Message-ID: <4E234FEB.80604@internode.on.net> Hi Lu (and other), I've been trying different things (but not a complete re-install yet). One thing I have noticed is that when I have the URI plugged into the add-on PCI USB card the green LED flashes slower than when it is plugged directly into the motherboards USB sockets. I have the URI USB address correctly entered into the usbradio_tune_usb27871.conf file. Receive audio is fine, COS is fine, PTT is fine... just no transmit audio. And strangely last night, I keyed up my box to hear the telemetry tail and when I keyed *81, I got the time announced to me... and then it stopped again. I think for now I will revert back to the motherboard USB sockets and put up with the occasional motorboating audio. I'm just not familiar enough with Asterisk to start trying to work out what is going on with the "no transmit audio" issue. Hopefully someone else will work out what is going on. Thanks to all for your input into my problem. Michael.

Message-ID: <4E2D538A.3050402@internode.on.net> Hi Everybody, I have been playing around some more with my new AllStar node today. I dug an old Sipura SPA-2000 out of the junk box and set it up to connect to the SIP Telephone Portal. This device is connecting to the internet through a separate ADSL connection to my AllStar node. After resetting the SPA-2000 to default and programming it accordingly... it seems to work... but only once! When it is first powered up I can connect it to my node (27871), enter my PIN and talk to my node OK. After this initial call is complete, I cannot seem to re-connect. I dial the node number and #... and then after around 15-20 seconds I get a busy signal. If I remove and replace power on the SPA-2000, it works perfectly once more... but only once. Any ideas?

Message-ID: <067c01cc4af8$128f2e60$37ad8b20$@net> Seems like I recall at one of the VOIP conventions years past that someone stated that the APP_RPT had the micor squelch algorithm built in. I have two micor repeaters now that I set up nodes using the URI board when DSP on both COR and CTCSS. I calibrated the URI using the radio-tune-menu and I even tested the signal break point with a service monitor. Example -110 dBm is when squelch clamps down.. That is about right.. It has a hysteresis of about 5 dB which is ok, but here is the kicker.. When you are fluttering into the receiver, the app is squelching, muting and it does not allow for the extra rx unsquelched condition like the micor does when you are weak. So you end up hearing a lot of muting when the signal is useable. I know there is a delay and an attempt to remove squelch burst, but should that not be triggered by the DSP upon CTCSS decoder not seeing signal? I have heard this issue with other nodes as well, and I though all along it was a setting issue. My squelch setting is at 765, and if I lower it to 760, it them provides a long squelch burst on even strong signals. So I am looking for guidance to see if perhaps I may be doing something wrong? Or is this just the short coming of the DSP and as I would hate to revert back to the repeater CTCSS and COR signaling, I suppose I could if justified.

It will be worked on later this year so I suspect in a future update, this will be corrected. In the meantime, I will just put up with it and help with testing future patches. Worse case, one can loosen up the squelch, but you will have to put up with the burst. Hmm, if we can only get a longer delay then we could rely on CTCSS decoding only . A longer delay would ensure the squelch burst would not be heard, but you might hear your own last word when you unkey LOL... Now that would be a cool temp fix.

I'm doing a hybrid of what you're doing, Tim; Scott Z built my 220 Micor bringing out both the COR signal and the discriminator audio; I use the Micor squelch circuit high for COR, and the DSP to decode the tone. In my mind, one is a go/no go, the other is something that can be inferred from simple signal processing. carrierfrom=usb ctcssfrom=dsp Gives me the best of both worlds (Micor squelch, as you say, thought 40+ years old, is the tops), and the flexibility to change tone without having to search out reeds (for testing, lid removal, etc.). I have an issue to throw out...which kind of got me scratching my head....occasionally (and non-repeatably), when keying up the repeater...I'll get a building in volume rushing noise (think raster noise like on an unoccupied TV channel that increases in volume) that peaks and then goes quiet. Incoming audio is there all the time...I was thinking it was desensing, but it is not every time I key up the machine, I've gone thru the duplexers to tweak them to >90db of notch (after cleaning up the caps and polishing the copper-to-copper mating surfaces for the coil/cap assembly...I'll send a photo if anyone is interested...) and am running only about 55w into the xmt side. Coax is 1/2" superflex out to the polyphaser, (I'm not going to admit I have some other non-recommended from the polyphaser up the pole, ok? It's in the plan to replace, I have 140' of LDF4 ready to go...just have to get up on the roof...), SWR from the radio to the amp is <1.2, from the amp to the duplexer is <1.2, loss thru the cans is 1.7db, swr out of the cans into the superflex is 1.2...all audio paths are shielded (but not ground looped, I know how to build audio channels...), no connector adapters, all silver/gold/teflon, etc. Has me scratching my head. That it's not repeatable, but happens randomly has me thinking that it's static discharge? Pole and tripod are bonded and grounded, antenna is a stationmaster-type (tram 1494 cut to length, lock screws in the center radiator are tight and lock-tighted, and it's a dc ground design, albeit with a fiberglass radome. Thinking static build up/discharge? Something else? Anyone else run into this? We can take this offline, but, seeing as we're all repeater geeks here...thought I'd throw it out for consideration. Thanks all... -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

I think I will hold off for now as I really want to help test out the patches this fall. But if it gets real bothersome, I might just loosen up the squelch. The repeater does not get much activity anyway, so an occasional bust should not be a huge deal, and that's even if I bother to open it up. As to your noise, this sounds like PIM (Passive intermodulation) that can occur when you have dirty connections, bad antenna or some other external active mixing component. If you can get me an audio sample, I would be interested in hearing this. However possible, I doubt this is static discharge. 73 Lu KA4EPS From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

I reverted to good-old Micor squelch and P/L reeds because I did not feel that app_rpt DSP did as well as the Micor in either case. Sometimes 40 year old technology is still best. I'm doing a hybrid of what you're doing, Tim; Scott Z built my 220 Micor bringing out both the COR signal and the discriminator audio; I use the Micor squelch circuit high for COR, and the DSP to decode the tone. In my mind, one is a go/no go, the other is something that can be inferred from simple signal processing. carrierfrom=usb ctcssfrom=dsp Gives me the best of both worlds (Micor squelch, as you say, thought 40+ years old, is the tops), and the flexibility to change tone without having to search out reeds (for testing, lid removal, etc.). I have an issue to throw out...which kind of got me scratching my head....occasionally (and non-repeatably), when keying up the repeater...I'll get a building in volume rushing noise (think raster noise like on an unoccupied TV channel that increases in volume) that peaks and then goes quiet. Incoming audio is there all the time...I was thinking it was desensing, but it is not every time I key up the machine, I've gone thru the duplexers to tweak them to >90db of notch (after cleaning up the caps and polishing the copper-to-copper mating surfaces for the coil/cap assembly...I'll send a photo if anyone is interested...) and am running only about 55w into the xmt side. Coax is 1/2" superflex out to the polyphaser, (I'm not going to admit I have some other non-recommended from the polyphaser up the pole, ok? It's in the plan to replace, I have 140' of LDF4 ready to go...just have to get up on the roof...), SWR from the radio to the amp is <1.2, from the amp to the duplexer is <1.2, loss thru the cans is 1.7db, swr out of the cans into the superflex is 1.2...all audio paths are shielded (but not ground looped, I know how to build audio channels...), no connector adapters, all silver/gold/teflon, etc. Has me scratching my head. That it's not repeatable, but happens randomly has me thinking that it's static discharge? Pole and tripod are bonded and grounded, antenna is a stationmaster-type (tram 1494 cut to length, lock screws in the center radiator are tight and lock-tighted, and it's a dc ground design, albeit with a fiberglass radome. Thinking static build up/discharge? Something else? Anyone else run into this? We can take this offline, but, seeing as we're all repeater geeks here...thought I'd throw it out for consideration. Thanks all... -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

I would have thought there would be a way to do this in the background (short from SSHing into the box) so you would not have to go through the actual connect process, but the current method is just fine.. I just did not understand it for some reason at first that you had to connect. I suppose I could create some sort of macro to login to the boxes and perform the intended commands, just got to learn how to do all of that when I get some time..

You can have asterisk execute shell commands as the target of a DTMF sequence. For instance: in rpt.conf in the functions stanza, I have lines thus: (note, 123/124 is a placeholder for the purposes of this discussion) [functions] ... 123=cmd,/etc/asterisk/scripts/nodexup.sh 124=cmd,/etc/asterisk/scripts/nodexdown.sh ... and in a scripts directory I've created under /etc/asterisk there's a shell script called nodexup.sh: #!/bin/bash /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd myhubnode ilink 3 nodex" with a chmod of 755, owned by whomever owns the asterisk daemon. To write the node down script, cp nodexup.sh nodexdown.sh, change the 3 to a 1, save, check the permissions, and restart asterisk. Now, if you have multiple nodes running on the same instantiation of asterisk (as I do), I have them all pointing to a common function stanza (I know, I should separate them out...), so, from any of my nodes I can DTMF 123 (not really this sequence), and it will link myhubnode to some nodex and take it down if I send the complimentary sequence. I can still do the *4myhubnode*3nodex# if I want, but, having *123# to press correctly is a lot less liable to fat-fingering or going into brain fade on the DTMF pad on the HT or mobile than the extended sequence. Yeah, it means you have to figure out just what you want to do, but, the ability to execute not only macros, but shell scripts from the daemon is a powerful (and dangerous) thing. You can still do the long sequence if you need something for ad-hoc, but for normal ops, making up a script to do it for you is a time/stress/fatfinger prevention/ease of ops technique. By the by, you can also execute the shell script from the command line, too...;) Just my opinion, maybe this answers your question. However, if you're looking for automatic connect on reboot/restart...look at the startup_marcro line in the rpt.conf for the node.... -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.

If it isn't...well, strange things will happen...under devstr=X-Y where X is the usb bus for that channel, and Y is the specific device the dongle is connected to. use the command lsusb to see whether it's being detected by the kernel; you'll see: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. which will tell you where the dongle is...make the devstr= to the 2 numbers you see there, dropping the 00.

The good news is that I do have private "intranet" circuits at each of these locations but of course they do not have capabilities of reaching the public internet. That's ok, because what I figured I could do is just have each of these talk to one of the sites that has both the public and private feeds and find some way to let these nodes do the interconnecting to the public side. I figure I could just add a second NIC card at the Margate node which has access to both the internet and intranet, tie the second NIC card to the intranet side and just have the other allstar boxes permanently attached to the node that has the public side working. These remaining sites are really in rural areas and they really don't need direct connections, but I guess I could always just use the *4 command if I needed to make a connections right? So I hope this I making sense because I really want to make this a reality.. Just will need some advice on how to add the second NIC and how to make the connections. I assume a few lines in the extention.conf file and a few fake node #s correct? The intranet network is made up of a netmask of 255.255.255.248 and each site has a router that talks to a central switch and allows all ports to pass through. Each site can talk to each other by the way if needed, but I figure just bringing the main communications back to the main node in Margate will be the best choice.

I thought I remembered reading the parallel port support had been added to chan_simpleusb? The parallel support didn't work, so I went digging through the archives, and found that it was "on the list" of planned improvments. I guess my question is, is it any easier on my P3/866 MHz Asterisk box to run one RF node on the standard chan_usbradio and one on chan_simpleusb? I currently have one modified CM108 fob, and one unmodified (using parallel port for ptt/cos). I've tried it both ways, while monitoring top, and it's not clear to me whether the PC is happier one way or the other. The audio "glitches" seem to have disappeared from the simple_usb node.

I have tried adding two different NEC chipset USB PCI boards and that made it much worse on my ASUS mother boards. I believe I have pretty much exhausted all options at this point. I just don't know why all 8 of my boxes 2.8 GHZ (all Asus) do this. I went to slower boxes (even down to 400 Mhz) and I don't get this issue.. Go figure. There has to be some other underlying issue where perhaps and interrupt is being messed with or some other issue. I just can't pin it down. I am working out a trade for some slower boxes in exchange for these machines as a solution for now. Sorry I wish I had a better answer.

I have tried adding two different NEC chipset USB PCI boards and that made it much worse on my ASUS mother boards. I believe I have pretty much exhausted all options at this point. I just don't know why all 8 of my boxes 2.8 GHZ (all Asus) do this. I went to slower boxes (even down to 400 Mhz) and I don't get this issue.. Go figure. There has to be some other underlying issue where perhaps and interrupt is being messed with or some other issue. I just can't pin it down.

I'm trying to keep things neat and tidy by stopping any services that have no direct impact on the operation of the node. I'm after input on what others have done on their own AllStarLink nodes. I have done a similar thing on my Icom G2 D-Star gateway... going through and disabling services (like bluetooth, VNC, smartcard, IPv6, etc). On a side note, has anyone found a definitive cause for the occasional motorboating/stuttering audio when an AllStarNode transmits? I have another machine that I can use, but I would like to know what causes it and how it can be eliminated or reduced. This is the only thing that has marred an otherwise perfect experience with my AllStarLink node. Michael.

Yup, every PC I tried does it. I jusst got used to it. I wanted to get a recording of it over a year ago, but no clean way to record audio.

I was actually okay with the default behaviour - I was just using this as a bridge into an Echolink conference, so I just initiated the link from the conference server... which actually works even better because then I don't have to register (and burn) one of my Echolink numbers for the link - I have Asterisk (chan_echolink) listening on the second IP (el1) and just have the conference server connect to that IP address - no registration required (both handy and insecure). But I really appreciate you adding this change as I could see a benefit to being able to control outbound traffic as such. In regards to the Echolink channel driver, it works exceptionally well. There are really only a few "issues" that I think keep it from taking over in the roll of an Echolink conference - the primary is the lack of the "chat" feature. I've looked over the chan_echolink driver; but don't know enough about the echolink "protocol" to make any sort of educated attempt at adding that feature. I have noted, that Asterisk has it's own messaging system (of what complexity I have no idea); but it would be nice if the Echolink driver could put chat messages on that stack - then I could see all the chats on my SIP phone, just like we see all of the node connect/disconnect messages. That's really the only show stopper... just a thought - things are working great as-is right now...

I used to hear that on my old dell server system - an immensely powerful computer (dual 3.6 MHz Xeon) with a really crappy USB system ... in fact I think one of the ports was USB1 In some old description of app rpt there is talk about a jitter buffer for the USB devices that you could adjust. I think that may have been replaced with some sort of elastic buffer that you cannot adjust (Jim will know). You can imagine that, in some low end systems (or problematical USB ports), the output does not keep up with the input or vice versa and eventually a buffer overflows (or runs dry). At that point the program has to throw away some data or stop and let the buffer fill again .... of course, if people keep letting the carrier drop from time to time you may never run into this....

I used a D201 originally, which does it as well. So what does it take for that to not happen? I went to use pp for cor and ptt in latesst one, on a D945, but it refuses to read the parallel port, so I let the software do squelch and ctcss. If the intel board has a bad USB system, who makes a supported board that doesn't? My idea was to keep the box small (M200 case) and run on 12V (PicoPSU supply) I got to where I just ignore it. I guess in the future I could try letting the repeater transmitter encode PL. That's really where you notice it when that is interrupted.
