Node Request Mess Up
by Matt Roberts 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I'm doing the requests for my two nodes. I put in the first request correctly, but I messed up the second time. The second node is supposed to be a remote base, but I think I set it as a regular node. Can I change this once the number is assigned, or do I have to request another one?

REmote Base adn Echolink Questions
by Matt Roberts 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I looked at the information about remote base configuration, but my question is not answered there. Here's the situation. I want my remote base to have access codes for every user to connect. A user connects, and enters the access code so they can log-in. Then the remote is tuned to whatever frequency and any options are set. Once that's done, how can I ensure someone who isn't authorized changing the base? The only way I see a person can log-out is to disconnect. Is this correct? I want Echolink connectivity on my repeater. Can I set the repeater so my courtesy tones, IDs, and such don't get heard on Echolink stations connecting? Matt Roberts n9gmr(a)me.com

Hi folks. Is there a way to kick off an AGI via app_rpt without involving a dialplan entry and using the autopatch? Thanks & 73, Steve K4WEB -- Stephen A. Misel Senior Professional Services Engineer Fonality, Inc. +1.310.861.4300 x7088

first node and newbie help
by Little Denver 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

So my dad and i are trying to get a mini itx setup for the 5th wheel so he can use it when he travels. We set up the information on allstarlink's web site, installed acid, got the download and config file done, connected the uri ( green light is flashing ), followed the schematic for connection frs/grms so we could use a spare ft-60 ( since he is just going from his pickup to the 5th wheel ) booted up the machine and are unable to get any return commands. the node shows to be active, 28134. we can communicate from one radio to another, but nothing is returned. even when we request time or system info. any help advice or trick would be greatly appreciated -- Thanks & 73, Denver Little KF5EFG

Planning an Allstar System
by Matt Roberts 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I'm planning my Allstar system installation. It'll be a couple months or so before I get the system running, but want to learn as much as I can now I have a few questions. My setup will consist of a repeater and at least one remote base. I want 2M and 70CM accessible via a remote base. Can I do this with one radio, or do I need to use separate radios? I want to set up my remote base so you enter a code and your callsign is announced. Once the remote is configured how the user wants, how do you prevent an unauthorized person from controlling the system? When entering remote base command codes, do you do it in one transmission, or do you press *4+node number, unkey, and then enter command+pound sign. Do you have to enter the pound sign after every command sequence? The web page for remote base configuration recommends radios to use. Those radios aren't being manufactured anymore. What are people using for remote base radios? I would like my remote base to be frequency agile if possible. My last question is about courtesy tones. When the repeater is not connected I want to have a "K" sent as a tone. When my system is connected to a remote node, I want to have a sound like a dial tone sent for local transmissions, and a double dial tone sound for remote transmissions. Can I do this?

Hi all, Been experimenting with echolink.conf, and have conference *EKOSTAR* running based on that configuration file. Only one problem. as soon as I set confmode to =yes, it throws segmentation faults. So presently I'm running it under confmode=no. Any bright ideas? Included below is the error it throws. Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

app_rpt documentation
by Jim Duuuude 06 Nov '11

I fixed the link on the support page for allstarlink, so that it correctly points to the app_rpt drupal site (http://ohnosec.org/drupal) I added information on the front page of the drupal site with instructions on how to get a username on that site if you wish to contribute. JIM WB6NIL

Remote Base Frequencies Ending with 05
by Tim Sawyer 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

If you run a remote base from the web transceiver and set your frequency to anything that ends in .x05 (ie 146.805) you may notice the web transceiver will show a truncated frequency (146.8 in this case). Jim fixed this this morning and it's in SVN. Thank you Jim! -- Tim :wq

Echolink Messages on Asterisk Console
by Tim Sawyer 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Those few of you who run Echolink on your nodes will be happy to hear this. The constant spewing of Echolink messages to the asterisk console is no more. It can be turned back on with verbose 4 or above. SVN has been updated. Thank you Jim. -- Tim :wq

Re: [App_rpt-users] ilink 4 issue

I assume that you can connect to the remote node ok before attempting to control it. Ssh in to your node and start the asterisk console, ie do "asterisk -rvvv". Then press your touch tones. You should see the correct tones on the asterisk console. If that looks ok, you might check and see if you're still connected. Do a "rpt lstats node#". -- Tim :wq On Oct 31, 2011, at 4:48 PM, Lu Vencl wrote: > Nothing at all. > > Sent from my iPhone, Lu Vencl > > On Oct 31, 2011, at 6:17 PM, Tim Sawyer <tim.sawyer(a)me.com> wrote: > >> So what happens when you do *4 + the remote node number? >> -- >> Tim >> :wq >> >> On Oct 30, 2011, at 3:54 PM, Lu Vencl wrote: >> >>> Been having an issue over the past several days where I can no longer execute ILINK4 to remotely control some of my other nodes. >>> If I reboot the node, it most of the time will correct the issue. >>> The other odd notable is that the CW tone frequency seems to go back to the default frequency as well. >>> Any thoughts on what might be happening? >>> >>> Thanks >>> Lu >>> KA4EPS >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> App_rpt-users mailing list >>> App_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org >>> http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users >>
