So now that I have the first set of nodes up on DSL circuits, I have remaining nodes / repeaters that I would like to include but do not have DSL circuits at these sites. The good news is that I do have private "intranet" circuits at each of these locations but of course they do not have capabilities of reaching the public internet. That's ok, because what I figured I could do is just have each of these talk to one of the sites that has both the public and private feeds and find some way to let these nodes do the interconnecting to the public side. I figure I could just add a second NIC card at the Margate node which has access to both the internet and intranet, tie the second NIC card to the intranet side and just have the other allstar boxes permanently attached to the node that has the public side working. These remaining sites are really in rural areas and they really don't need direct connections, but I guess I could always just use the *4 command if I needed to make a connections right? So I hope this I making sense because I really want to make this a reality.. Just will need some advice on how to add the second NIC and how to make the connections. I assume a few lines in the extention.conf file and a few fake node #s correct? The intranet network is made up of a netmask of 255.255.255.248 and each site has a router that talks to a central switch and allows all ports to pass through. Each site can talk to each other by the way if needed, but I figure just bringing the main communications back to the main node in Margate will be the best choice. So if anyone is up to the task to lend me a hand, I will appreciate it very much. Thanks and 73 Lu, KA4EPS

chan_simpleusb

Hello all, I thought I'd give chan_simpleusb a try again today. I thought I remembered reading the parallel port support had been added to chan_simpleusb? The parallel support didn't work, so I went digging through the archives, and found that it was "on the list" of planned improvments. I guess my question is, is it any easier on my P3/866 MHz Asterisk box to run one RF node on the standard chan_usbradio and one on chan_simpleusb? I currently have one modified CM108 fob, and one unmodified (using parallel port for ptt/cos). I've tried it both ways, while monitoring top, and it's not clear to me whether the PC is happier one way or the other. The audio "glitches" seem to have disappeared from the simple_usb node. Thanks for any assistance. 73. Kyle K0KN

Never has worked. Brand new unit. Guess it could be dead out of the box.

Would the Kenwood TM-V7a operate in remote base capacity with app_rpt in place of the Kenwood G707a? Thanks. John / WB5NFC

Re: [App_rpt-users] Upgrade Scricpt!!!

Support for upgrades was dropped almost 2 years ago. Any old versions with upgrade scripts will no longer function due to url and directory changes (qrvc.com -> ohnosec.org) A system upgrade should be done by noting your config settings installing from scratch or using the portal settings during a new install.

URI not found
by Ed Wilhelm 28 Jul '11

Trying to help a friend get his Asterisk box up and running but having problems. His DMK Engineering URI is not being found. I can login and do lsusb and it's there, but asterisk app_rpt never finds it. Solid green led. I try to command radio active usb<node number> but when you check it says device not active. I wish I could try plugging in another URI but he is over 100 miles from my location. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks Ed

Remote commands
by Lu Vencl 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Ok, I know this is a newbie question, but I searched everywhere I know and I can't find an example nor figure this out.. I need to understand the proper command structure or procedure of *4 remote command. Example, I want to issue a command to one of my nodes from another node. How do I do this? I tried the following example from my node 27870 KA4EPS-R-Margate*CLI> rpt fun 27870 *427869*81# I thought that this command would allow me to announce the time on node 27869 while entering this on the 27870 node.. Is this not possible? Another example, let's say I want 27869 to connect to 27875 would I want to dial over the air on (node 27870) *427869*327875# ? Thanks again for your help.. I am just not getting anywhere with it. Lu, KA4EPS

Node access from SIP device question.
by Michael Carey 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi Everybody, I have been playing around some more with my new AllStar node today. I dug an old Sipura SPA-2000 out of the junk box and set it up to connect to the SIP Telephone Portal. This device is connecting to the internet through a separate ADSL connection to my AllStar node. After resetting the SPA-2000 to default and programming it accordingly... it seems to work... but only once! When it is first powered up I can connect it to my node (27871), enter my PIN and talk to my node OK. After this initial call is complete, I cannot seem to re-connect. I dial the node number and #... and then after around 15-20 seconds I get a busy signal. If I remove and replace power on the SPA-2000, it works perfectly once more... but only once. Any ideas? Michael. VK5ZEA
