Hello Steve,
                 Floating ground maybe the culprit; common ground node 29103 and URI rs-232 ground pin.

Message-ID: <541DB83F.5080801 at yellowthunder.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Has anyone run across a URI that goes 'offline' every 3 to 4 days? A 
simple warm boot command or astres.sh will bring it back on line as well 
as unplugging the URI and plugging back in.

There is no indication that it's not working to the online user. You can 
connect to the box but no audio (either direction) or PTT passes to the 
repeater until you reset it.

I have installed ferrites on each end of the USB cable and on the 
control cable on the URI side but no change.


Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance.

Steve,

  What computer are you using? PC or Beagle Bone Black? etc.  Also usbradio or simpleusb?

This is a common problem on the URI with external EMI and power spikes. 

The problem can be fixed. You need to ground everything and eliminate EMI as much as possible. 

The other issue is the USB not resetting when it has this problem. Most of the PC's will but probably not all. The next version of the BBB code coming out soon will reset fine. 

If you are using simpleusb there is a bug in the code that precludes a reset upon USB interruption. This fix will also be in the BBB code that is coming soon. If you want to fix a PC simplesusb installation here is the link -

See how to do the patch at the end of the pdf.

You should be able to pull the USB cable from the URI while in use (green light flashing normally) and reinstall the USB and it should start flashing again. If not then your system will not recover from USB EMI hits properly. 

It is always a good idea to try and fix or reduce the problem because in severe cases it would be resetting all the time. It sounds like you case is less severe.

You may want to use "setup"... enter on the Linux command line. i.e.
root at server:/# setup

I'm sure this is elementary for most of you, but I am an amateur at Linux.

 

I have a node I am moving and it will require a static IP at its new
location.

 

I understand the basics of the ip, Netmask, Broadcast,DNS etc, but just
unfamiliar with how to change it and what files need to be changed?

What files on both the Network device (ETH0) and the Asterisk side of
things.

 

System is a standard computer and URI.

 

 

Thanks...Greg  KJ6KO

Doug.

I'm running a PC with usbradio.

This is something that just recently showed up. The system has been 
running fine at it's current location for over a year. The IBM PC that 
I'm using has a (heavy) metal chassis and I should be able to get a good 
ground on it back to the building's halo.

Unplugging the URI and plugging back in does reset it. When it's not 
working, the green LED is steady.


Thanks!
