[App_rpt-users] Node 2424 - Bridgecom 220 Repeater is LIVE!

[Steve Zingman]

Ramesh,
I assume from the asterisk cli prompt iax2 show registry looks something 
like this:

Host                  dnsmgr  Username    Perceived Refresh  State
67.215.233.178:4569   N       2148        208.35.139.11:4569 60  Registered

Exit the CLI

cd /etc/asterisk
wget https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/raw/master/configs/dnsmgr.conf

restart asterisk

73, Steve N4IRS
