Node creation from portal?
by Gary - K7EK 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Is there a way to create a node from the portal for the purpose of re-installation? In other words, I have two nodes which were registered a long time ago under the old system. I need to re-install Asterisk before I can put them on the air. If I could use the already registered node numbers from a portal installation, that would save me a lot of time. Comments? -- Best regards, Gary E. Kohtala - K7EK / AFA0IU / AFE0DM Personal Web Page: http://www.k7ek.net

node wont start with out internet
by REDBUTTON_CTRL 23 Aug '10

Hi All, I have a node that I recently setup with a static ip. It seems to be working fine but... If the ethernet cable is not plugged in and the node is rebooted Asterisk starts but the URIs are not running. Once I plug in the internet then the fobs start working. This node was built using the old system but the version of APp-Rpt is 0.255. If the cable is connected then it boots fine. Also I tried connecting to a switch with no internet connection and rebooted - same thing none of the USB interfaces were not working. Plugged the router in then the fobs start. If I disconnect internet the node works ok. Its just at boot up that it has this problem. Older nods didn't seem to care about the internet not connected. If I put the node on DHCP then it boot up ok and the fobs work. Any ideas? My concern is if this node is deployed and internet is lost with a power failure then the node will hang until internet is back. that would take down the repeater that it is planed to control. Jon

Skype

I have "discovered" the Digium Skype-for-Asterisk product and wonder if it can be used with ACID? They say that version 1.4.25 of asterisk is required. Apparently ACID uses "1.4.23-pre" Is this going to be compatible? Ken KE2N

Email validation on allstarlink.org
by Stephen Rodgers 22 Aug '10

22 Aug '10

For some reason unbeknownst to us, some users are not receiving validation emails from allstarlink.org when they sign up for a new user account. We know the server is sending these out. For those users experiencing difficulty with this, I can do a manual validation. I just need to know who is having issues so I can send a validation request from my personal email account using your email address in the database. If you respond to the message, I'll manulally validate the account. Steve WA6ZFT

Node passwords for new nodes.
by Stephen Rodgers 22 Aug '10

22 Aug '10

Some users have reported there is no way to get node passwords for newly assigned nodes which are set up as register only. Jim, WB6NIL has fixed this. The node password is now displayed on the display/modify node information page. Steve WA6ZFT

Re: [App_rpt-users] Skype and newer versions of asterisk
by Jim Richardson 22 Aug '10

There an easy way to run whatever version of asterisk you want that also requires minimal changes in your allstarlink node setup, just some additions to iax.conf and extensions.conf. You do need to set up another computer for the newer asterisk. Then simply create an IAX trunk between your newer asterisk and your allstar node asterisk. I've migrated my node to the new system, I am in the process of changing my config files to the new system so I can use the Web Transceiver etc. I am changing extensions.conf as little as possible and inserting "#include iax_additional.conf" as the last line of the file so most of my changes are in this other file. I'm also going to use the same technique on iax.conf by "#include iax_additional.conf" as the last line of that file. I am running PBX In A Flash (PIAF) for my phone PBX and Limey Linux for my allstar node. I have been running this way for over a year. I have the ability to make and receive calls from Skype as well as PSTN, VOIP and ROIP. I simply call into my PIAF PBX from any of the above and dial my extension for the allstar node and now I can access my node. It also works the other way where my allstar node can dial an extension on my PIAF PBX and go out on any trunk be it Skype, VOIP, or PSTN. My motivation in doing it this way was the ability to use the GUI in PIAF to set up an IVR and all calls from anywhere get the ability to be routed to anywhere. I will post after I have finished my edits and tested my config. Jim WA1SOT Node 2370

Wonder why when I ported 3 of my Nodes over to the New System everything was fine except my Node 27050 location is Blank? Should show as Santa Cruz, Ca.

I corrected the entry as per Jim's instructions and re-started asterisk, but ...... -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 89.107.6.110: > requested format = ulaw, > requested prefs = (ulaw), > actual format = ulaw, > host prefs = (ulaw|gsm), > priority = mine -- Executing [s@allstar-public:1] Ringing("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "") in new stack [Aug 20 18:59:02] ERROR[25472]: func_curl.c:166 acf_curl_exec: Cannot allocate curl structure -- Executing [s@allstar-public:2] Set("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "RESP=") in new stack -- Executing [s@allstar-public:3] Set("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "NODENUM=2483") in new stack -- Executing [s@allstar-public:4] GotoIf("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "0?hangit") in new stack -- Executing [s@allstar-public:5] GotoIf("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "1?hangit") in new stack -- Goto (allstar-public,s,15) -- Executing [s@allstar-public:15] Answer("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "") in new stack -- Executing [s@allstar-public:16] Wait("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "1") in new stack -- Executing [s@allstar-public:17] Hangup("IAX2/allstar-public-4471", "") in new stack == Spawn extension (allstar-public, s, 17) exited non-zero on 'IAX2/allstar-public-4471' -- Hungup 'IAX2/allstar-public-4471' This is an attempt to connect to our hub node from a PC which is behind the same router/firewall as our node 2481 (in case that has any bearing on things).

SETUP

Thanks for all that replied to my request for the old admin manual. I wanted to use it for general reading. I am somewhat familiar with asterisk itself. I have been using it for about 4 years. The FOB is just new to me. Before I modded the USB FOB I decided I would try it out on the system. I get no audio at all. I know it is a CM108 chip on one of them. Trying to follow instructions I just am not able to hear any audio at all. I have even tried sending the rpt fun nodenum dtmfcommand (for the time) to send the time. I can see where it transmits on the screen. Shouldn't I be hearing something without modding the FOB?
