[App_rpt-users] Connecting Nodes

[Tim Sawyer]

I think I've read here on the list that Allstar will not run on Raspberry Pi. 

As far as how nodes attach to each other, it's pretty simple. Every node can accept multiple connections so any node can be a central point of connection. You can daisy chain the connections like you mentioned or connect everything to one node including iaxRPT. It's completely flexible. A "hub" is just another node with no radio attached.

Connections are made with touch tones. The default install uses *3+nodeNumber to connect and *1+nodeNumber to disconnect. Nodes can be set up to automatically connect when they boot up. Asterisk has a CLI which can also be used to make connections. There are web based systems to control nodes, too. And yes, when nodes are connected all nodes can talk to each other and any connected clients including iaxRPT, the webTranceiver, or even telephones.

ohnosec.org/drupal in addition to the allstarlink.org site is a good place to start learning.

> First since it is not driving anything can a Raspberry Pi act as a Hub running the current release of Asterisk (i.e.  apt-get install asterisk) ?  Or do I need to generate a Centos Based Hub, and where in the documentation is do ing so, I looked but haven't found that yet.   If I can use a current version of Asterisk, rather than app_rpt how do I configure it?

When I press transmit on the iaxrpt client I want the transmission to go out on the three nodes.  If there is a transmission received on either 1110, 1210, or 1310 I want it to be received by the iaxrpt client, and transmitted out the other two nodes.   I am not sure if I need the hub, as I was told that 1310 can attach to 1210, which can attach to 1110, and the iaxrpt client can attach to 1110 as well and it will all work.   I haven't found the documentation on how to get nodes to attach to each other, or how to configure that.
