yeah.. make it a hub<br><br>rxchannel=Zap/pseudo<br><br>Also, make the node on the hill a private node (non-allstar),<br>so that no one will connect to it from the outside and chew up<br>your bandwidth.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br>> Date: Sat, 28 May 2011 15:04:51 -0700<br>> From: phil.n6tct@gmail.com<br>> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> Subject: [App_rpt-users] Asterisk node without a radio?<br>> <br>> This may be a kind of offbeat question, but stick with me please.<br>> <br>> I have an astrerisk/app_rpt node, we'll call it "node A", which is up<br>> on a mountaintop, solar-powered, connected to a UHF repeater, and<br>> behind a somewhat bandwidth limited IP connection. The connection<br>> will easily support one voice channel to the outside world, but not<br>> many more than that with any reliability.<br>> <br>> What I'd like to do is run another instance of asterisk/app_rpt on a<br>> second machine that is on the Internet and that has good bandwidth and<br>> CPU. Call this "node B". For echolink and allstarlink purposes, I'd<br>> like there to be a "nailed up"/permalinked connection between nodes A<br>> and B, but have people who want to use node A over the internet<br>> instead connect only to node B. The point being, if ten people are<br>> connected to node B, node A only has to deal with one multiplexed<br>> audio stream from node B, not 10 individual connections to node A --<br>> all to conserve bandwidth to node A.<br>> <br>> The catch is, node B isn't going to have a radio, it's just going to<br>> be running asterisk/app_rpt for people to connect to. In some sense,<br>> it will be like an IRLP reflector (though obviously no IRLP is<br>> involved here) -- it's basically acting as a radioless conference<br>> bridge.<br>> <br>> Any thoughts on how to do this? Do I just run standard<br>> asterisk/app_rpt and get an allstarlink/echolink node number but just<br>> don't bother to define a radio channel or something? Any ideas or<br>> tips appreciated.<br>> <br>> Thanks!<br>> <br>> Phil, N6TCT<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> App_rpt-users mailing list<br>> App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users<br> </body>
