by Kyle Jones 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

To Whom It May Concern: I have just installed a fresh CentOS release 5.8 (Final) along with the lasted "certified-asterisk-1.8.11-c" complete with "dahdi-linux-complete-2.5.0+2.5.0" and all of the other required supporting code and asterisk is now up and running along with the Asterisk Digium Configuration Engine via http...... and I am looking to try and find out the latest insights and methods necessary to get the app_rpt module installed and working with this current release of asterisk .... anyone that can help with my project I would appreciate it and ask that you please direct me accordingly. Also I was trying to login to the http://ohnosec.org/drupal/ and I tried putting my email address that I get the mail list updates from and my password however it wouldn't let me log in for some reason or another. If you could help resolve that as well this would be much appreciated.

Custom connect/disconnect messages
by K & R Yoksh 08 Nov '12

Hi, I've just started playing with the custom connect/disconnect messages. http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/142 My question is, is there a central server to upload these files to, or do I need to share these files with my friends, etc manually? I've noticed that my servers automatically had the following files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames: 2001.ulaw 2013.ulaw 2030.ulaw 2063.ulaw 2391.ulaw 2003.ulaw 2014.ulaw 2043.ulaw 2065.ulaw 27016.ulaw 2010.ulaw 2016.ulaw 2059.ulaw 2070.ulaw 27058.ulaw 2011.ulaw 2022.ulaw 2060.ulaw 27136.ulaw 2012.ulaw 2025.ulaw 2061.ulaw Thanks. 73 Kyle K0KN Allstar 2210-2219

Allmon Released
by Tim Sawyer 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

I've posted about Allmon before and a few of you have asked me for a copy. But it wasn't ready yet and I'm not sure it is now. But here goes nothing... Allmon is a web site for managing one or more app_rpt Allstar nodes. Each managed local node shows a list of connected nodes. The list is sorted in reverse order of the most recently received node. So the lastnode to talk is always at the top of the list. Any node that is currently being received will be highlighted by a green background as well as moving to the top of the list. The node list is updated once a second giving near-real-time status. Allmon will also monitor VOTER clients. Each VOTER instance displays a list attached Radio Thin Client Modules (RTCM). The RSSI for each RTCM is displayed in bar graph style along with a color to indicate the currently voted RTCM. Have a look at my live Allmon site http://wd6awp.net/allmon/ and download it for your own use here: http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/voter/allmon/?root=svn or here: http://github.com/tsawyer/allmon -- Tim :wq

Autopatch operation on Allstarlink
by Eric Meth - ve3ei 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

I have been fighting with activating the autopatch on one of my nodes. I have obtained a SIP account an IAX2 account from a provider. I have received their example scripts, and I have reviewed the ACID System Administrators Guide to no avail. I would like from someone who has successfully activated the autopatch function. The reverse patch will be a future project. Eric Meth - ve3ei Node 2425

Thanks I'll try that, I had put a --scale in my conf file but it didn't seem to do anything, I moved it after the --preset as you have it so we'll see if the --highpass works, then scale should as well, but perhaps it is placement specific, I'm sure being influenced by the --preset.

Voicemail on APP_RPT
by Ryan Collier 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Greetings, I have got the voice mail working in the ACID install. But I have one program with voice mail and someone will be able to answer hopefully. Actually, this is for all autopatch's. Once I get connected to voice mail, it will not longer pick up my DTMF's I can star six and star zero everything. But I can not get send pound to stay in the voice mail. Or even enter extension dtmf number once in voice mail. I think I made it sound right. I can add more if needed.... Ryan

Trying to install from a USB drive
by Buddy Brannan 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Howdy, I think I must be missing something important. I need to move my install to a new computer, as the old crappy one it's on now is fix in to crap out. The machine that I have kicking around to use doesn't have a CDROM drive, but it will boot off USB. I verified this both by booting from a Chromium USB drive and also a live Archlinux installation. However, burning either Acid or Xipar to a USB drive seems not to work, giving me only a blank screen with a blinking cursor, and no boot prompt or very much else. From the Mac terminal, and even from the Linux terminal on the crappy computer, dd if=acid-somthing-or-other.iso of=/dev/disk1 (for the Mac, or /dev/sda for Linux) The drive writes, it mounts, it has expected files on it, but it doesn't boot to anything except a blank screen. Anyone got any ideas? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY

Audio Files
by Jeff Carrier 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I have several audio files that can be calls via DTMF commands set up on my nodes. I have them set to "playback" so they're heard on all nodes. The only issue is now if they're called while we have a simplex link radio connected they're sent to another repeater system over RF. Is there a way to stop this behavior on a particular node or will I need to change them all to "localplay"? Thanks de K0JSC

Newbie here so please be gentle ;-)
by Dave Miller 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

I am doing basic research into hardware for my first node. Can I use URi's which I already purchased on Beagle board or do I need to use the LOX board? Any updates on getting the RPI up and working ? Last message I read indicated that it not quite there? Should I just get a ITX motherboard and go from there first? Any direction to other resources is appreciated. I would prefer the final endpoint to be a small embedded package to deploy on a mountaintop that is visited yearly so need the robustness. Thanks Dave
