[App_rpt-users] Server/Node Relation RTCM

You have to think of the RTCM as a remotely connected URI unbound via
UDP.   You still need all the other Allstar parts (asterisk server, node
number, inbound port on 4569 etc)...

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.

I'm still not clear on the server/node relationship.  I'm going to get
my RTCM set up and working, but I have a question. The RTCM needs to be
pointed to a SERVER correct?

 

So, I can point the RTCM "node" (it's not really considered a node is
it)? to one of the servers that I already have a node set up on?  Or do
I need to set up another server to support the RTCM?  If it's on the
same server as another node, how do you manage multiple nodes on one
server? 

 

I just signed up for a DNS on no-ip.com so I think I have that set
up.... But I need to figure how to set that info into the node server
that I'm going to use to "host" the RTCM.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!
