My two RTCM's have just been shipped. Gonna take about 10 days
before I get my prezzie.<br>
Now would be the time to set up my single, central server.<br>
<br>
Could someone (Jim?) give me a link, or a name of the software to
use on the centrally located server PC. I will not be using the
voter feature just yet. I just want to set up two remote AllStar
repeater nodes using the RTCM's on the high-sites. Do we just use
the same acid_centos57 or acid_centos55? and do we configure it
using the same portal at

<div dir="ltr">I've been really busy (and productive) today.<br>
<br>
The new version (0.60) of the RTCM/Voter board firmware now
supports the following:<br>
<br>
Notification via CW of host connection failure (with the
option of repeating it <br>
periodically if still failed, along with option of repeating
it after receiver un-key).<br>
<br>
Notification via CW of host connection restoral after failure.
<br>
<br>
"Offline" repeat mode, where it becomes a "dumb" repeater if
host connection is lost.<br>
Includes settable hang time. The "Notification via CW of host
connection failure" feature<br>
also can serve as a CW identifier in this mode (and was
designed to do so).<br>
<br>
The CW speed, CW strings (content of messages), and some other
stuff is user-settable<br>
from a menu.<br>
<br>
Speaking of menus, the "big humongous" main menu is now split
in to 3 nice, smaller ones.<br>
The 2 sub-menus are IP (networking) parameters, and "Offline
Mode" parameters.<br>
<br>
The only thing it does *NOT* do is generate CTCSS tone when
transmitting. I doubt it ever<br>
will, since we are pretty much out of code space in the
processor. This would require the<br>
use of floating point trig functions to calculate generation
constants (or from a table), neither<br>
of which we have room for.<br>
<br>
The 0.60 version will be available on SVN at 2115 PST tonight.<br>

If you use RTCM as "generic" radio interface on the
hill and a linux box at a remote location connected
over an IP connection and you loose the connection can
the RTCM failover to be a minimal repeater controller
on the hill?

<div dir="ltr">Yeah, that's the general
idea. The location of the Linux server
running app_rpt/Asterisk can be<br>
more or less anywhere within Internet
connectivity of all of the receiver and/or
transmitter sites.<br>
Of course, "Internet" can mean either some
sort of public Internet connection, or a
privately-provided<br>
Internet connection (low-cost microwave
link(s), etc).<br>
<br>
The only limitation is that an RTCM/Voter
module *must* be located on the same LAN
as the Linux<br>
server, to at least provide a GPS-based
timing reference. A system could be set up
with a server<br>
located in some sort of datacenter "on the
ground", and all the radios could have an
RTCM "on the<br>
hill" with them, and as long as there is
Internet connectivity of some sort between
each of them<br>
and the server, the system will work
nicely. That is providing that there is an
RTCM located at<br>
the server location also (whether or not
that particular RTCM has radio hardware
connected to it<br>
or not).<br>
<br>
One minimal Linux server can easily
support 1 or 2 dozen RTCM's (on 1 or 2
allstar nodes),<br>
and a larger server could easily support
MANY dozens of them on dozens of allstar
nodes.<br>
Of course, you REALLY dont want to put too
many of them on a single server, being a
potential<br>
single point of failure. For pretty much
any practical purpose, the reasonable
limitation is<br>
the point of failure/redundancy issue, not
technical limitations.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if you were clear on this, so
I thought I would mention that the RTCM is
not just<br>
usable as a GPS-timing-based
Multi-Receiver Voting system and/or a
Simulcast Transmitter system.<br>
It can also be used as a "generic" radio
interface for a conventional
(non-GPS-based) either simplex<br>
or full duplex (repeater) radio. The
advantage of doing this would be to not
have the Linux<br>
host "on the hill" with the radio (as
mentioned above). In addition, the RTCM
allows for<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><br>
portable/mobile operation with a
mobile/portable Internet connection in
both the GPS-based<br>
and non-GPS-based environments.<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><br>
