[App_rpt-users] Server/Node Relation RTCM

[Tim Sawyer]

Think of an RTCM as a radio interface, as a way to connect your radio to a computer. It's not a node. It is the physical interface to a computer via ethernet.  

A node is a number on the Allstar network. It's the virtual representation of a radio in the Allstar network. 

A server is a computer that hosts one or more nodes. 

Yes, you can add another node to your existing server. You'll add the node by adding a whole new node stanza to rpt.conf (there is other stuff you have to set up, see http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/49 ). Only two items will be different about the new node stanza; the node number and the rxchannel = Voter/your_node_no.  

The RTCM must be configured with the address (or DNS name, that's where your no-ip.com will come in) of your server. The RTCM must also be configured with host and client passwords that match the ones on the server in voter.conf.

I hope that helps you get started.
