Echolink permit config
by Ed Wilhelm 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

I tried adding permit=*-* to limit connections to rf based stations and reduce the drive by connects. That seems to work fine but I would like to add exceptions for several stations. Tried inserting their callsigns but apparently the wildcard has priority. Tried putting it at the end of the line but no difference. Any suggestions? Ed W8VT

Feature Request: web control interface
by Mike Ping 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Maybe this is already possible but I don't see it anywhere. Having a simple web interface where a user or a control op who isn't command line savvy could point their web browser to an address and be able to do basic functions such as connect or disconnect a link or shut off the repeater would be very useful. On the Echolink software they have that option. Its not real fancy but was very useful. Has anyone set something like this up? Mike - N3KPU

Reading archives
by Mike Ping 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

I asked this question before and still haven't conquer this problem. I am trying to view the Gzip'd Text archives on the App_rpt-users Archives webpage at http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/. I have tried the instructions found at http://johnpoelstra.com/tag/import/ and it works for his example but when I apply the same instructions for the files of this group it doesn't produce anything I can read. When I download and unzip I get a .txt file but when I open it all I get is a bunch of box symbols It would be really useful to be able to search these locally all in one folder as opposed to browsing through each month one at a time. Any suggestions? Mike - N3KPU

Allstar problem
by Bob Miller 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

After one week of satisfactory operation, my Allstar node (27890) has the following error: "USB 4-1 usbfs: 27618 (asterisks) did not claim interface 3 before use" Error code 1, then the computer reboots its self. The five digit number changes, but the problem just keeps repeating. The only USB device connected is the DMK URI (9080). Cause of the problem? How to fix the it? Thanks in advance for any help. 73, Bob

Echo link inbound prohibition?
by Lu Vencl 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

All, I have had to shut down access to echolink on all my nodes due to an unbelievable amount of problems I have been encountering, too many to mention here. >From poor operating procedures to foreign language countries attaching for no good reason, I just can't take it anymore. Then it occurred to me, I rarely have a need to use Echolink, but when I do, it is only outbound anyway. So the question is how can I leave echolink up but not allow inbound calls to my nodes or maybe even better setup a allow list? Thanks in advance. Lu KA4EPS

Scheduler

When you run a Dual Node Box. How do you designate different events for the different Nodes? I want Node A to do this, but Not Node B and Node B doing something different without effecting Node A.
