Connect notifications via AGI or System scripts
by Keith Williamson 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi, Recently, I got reverse autopatch configured on my simplex node (2541) and everything works great. In the shack, I have a Polycom IP501 speaker phone that I use to monitor or connect into QSO's on the node. Out of the shack, I can call into the node using my Blackberry and do the same. So the next challenge is to get quick notifications of users connecting into the node either via radio or Internet (Echolink and Allstar..no IRLP yet). I created a pair of Twitter accounts; one for the node and another for me personally. I added my node's Twitter account to the ones I follow with my personal account and created an AGI scripts that formats a curl command which posts some of the context variables passed in when Asterisk invokes the script (context name, extension, callerid, etc). I then added the AGI call into various extension stanzas in extensions.conf to test. If, for instance, I do a reverse autopatch and connect to the reverse autopatch "extension", I almost immediately get an SMS tweet on the Blackberry. Great. However, it seems that connections via the radio are not processed in any way in extensions.conf (thought [default] stanza would apply but apparently only applies to autopatch), and inbound connections from either Allstar or Echolink, while processed through [radio-secure], hang on the AGI call and don't proceed to the following call to rpt. I'm assuming this is because AGI calls generally follow an "Answer" and are only valid in the connected state. I tried "deadAGI" since it doesn't seems to be dependent on being in the answered state but it hung the same way. It's possible I've got a problem in the AGI script which is causing the hang but it certainly doesn't occur when the AGI call follows "Answer". So I'm looking for help to understand other possible ways to invoke a script that calls curl to post the tweet when a radio user makes an outbound connection to Allstar or Echolink and when an Echolink or Allstar user connects in to the radio. Ideas? Thanks and 73's Keith KF7DRV

Linked nodes keep disconnecting
by Jon Rorke 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi All, I have a situation where I have 2 nodes on the same box and they are linked internally with a perm connection. Normally this works well, but every once in a while the 2 nodes will become disconnected (no audio being passed or PTT) but Asterisk still shows they are connected. I tried stopping Asterisk and restarting it but that didnt work. The only way I can get this to work again is to reboot the box. This appears to be happening every 2 months or so. Any ideas? Thanks, Jon VA3RQ

My instructions for keyfob modifications
by Mike Hugo 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi, I have created an instructions set on how to modify a keyfob based on the 119 chip. These are basically just a different version of the original instructions. Hopefully having a second set will help in making modifications. The lastest draft is located at http://m3h.com/usbfob-119.pdf. Feel free to copy and share around. Please take a look and privide feedback. It would be nice to see these instructions linked on the main hardware page as an alternative to the original instructions. Mike

dell power edge server USB
by Ken 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

I wonder if anyone has had luck (or other experience) using a USB adapter in the PCI-X expansion bus in a Dell (2650)server? In principle, this bus has tremendous throughput capability and is backward-compatible with 3.3 v PCI2.x cards. But the two cards (480 Mb) that I have tried just stumble along and will not work with the URI fobs. Mouse and keyboard work OK. Is it possible that this being a 64 bit slot somehow confuses the USB driver? Ken

DNS hoster DDoS'd
by Stephen Rodgers 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Late Saturday Morning, January 16, our DNS hosting service experienced a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack which disabled the allstarlink.org domains and its subdomains register.allstarlink.org, and nodesx.allstarlink.org. As of 9:30PM January 16, things appear to be up and running again at allstarlink.org. You might want to check to see if your host is registering by going in to the asterisk console and waiting for a registration message to scroll by or by looking on allstarlink.org to see if your node number is in a green background.

Re: [App_rpt-users] node registration failure?
by Anthony Percy 17 Jan '10

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Could it be my IAX2 is not registering properly??? e.g *CLI> iax2 show registry Host dnsmgr Username Perceived Refresh State 67.215.233.178:4569 N A2534 <Unregistered> 60 Request Sent Any ideas why this would not be the case? Would the DNS you mentioned problem cause this? I have setup my router to divert all incoming traffic to the asterisk server just in case but it makes no difference.. regards Anthony VK2ACP On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 8:15 AM, Stephen Rodgers <sales(a)qrvc.com> wrote: > Anthony Percy wrote: > > Hi all, > > I just fired up my test node and when I try to get a node list I get the > > following error when I turn verbose mode on.. > > > > /usr/bin/wget -v -O /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes-temp > > http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl > > --2010-01-16 21:09:39-- http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl > > Resolving nodes1.allstarlink.org... 64.62.228.97 > > Connecting to nodes1.allstarlink.org|64.62.228.97|:80... connected. > > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error > > 2010-01-16 21:09:40 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error. > > > > I have checked and my registration password is OK for node 27010... > > > > Regards > > > > Anthony VK2ACP > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > _______________________________________________ > > App_rpt-users mailing list > > App_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com > > http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users > > > With all our domain names down due to a problem with our DNS provider, I > can't see what is going on at the moment. > The problem may not be on your end due to this issue. >
