delete servers
by Ken Robinson 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hi, The configuration of my servers is wrong and I'm told the only way to fix it is to delete both servers & nodes and start again from scratch. Unfortunately no one can tell me how to delete the servers, so I'm in limbo. I can connect to other nodes ok but no one can connect to my node MB7ICE they get (connection failed) Can anyone help? Regards Ken G0LCE

RTCM Issue
by Fran 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

I have a simplex node with an RTCM however whenever the radio losses power the RTCM goes into a transmit mode and keeps the server and other connected nodes keyed. Is there a setting that needs to be set to prevent this from happening. Frank

New Node Install ??????
by Jim W7RY 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

I'm attempting to install a new node. I already have a server set up with my original node which reside on the same PC at the repeater site. Now I want to simply want to install a new node into a new computer. I applied and was granted a new node number. Question is, what do you tell the new node when it's loading? You want a server? I tried that and though I was going to take the server away from the computer that is already my server. Does every node need a separate server? What happens if the server with the node on it goes down? Will the node that I'm trying install still work? I was never asked during the install what node to install. Why? This is all very confusing and not clearly documented anywhere that I can find. Thanks! Signed "starving for documentation" AKA Jim W7RY

AllStar and Raspberry PI
by Bob Roszkowski 12 Apr '12

I was wondering if anyone is working on getting AllStar to work on an Raspberry PI Computer. If your not sure what it is, check out this link. http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-42993/l/raspberry-pi-single-boa… It seems like the perfect solution to a linked repeater. -- boB - W5EVH

COP Command to Disable Echolink
by Matt Roberts 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I looked through the list of COP commands, and I can't find one to disable Echolink incoming connections. The only thing I see is disable all incoming connections. Am I missing something? Could COP commands be added to enable and disable Echolink incoming connections? Matt Roberts n9gmr(a)me.com Call Sign N9GMR IRLP 4515 EchoLink 640860 Allstar 28142

Loading of new PC Stops Midstream
by Jim W7RY 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I'm trying to load a PC for a new node. The load process stops at various places and just hangs. The screen gets a few gibberish characters and then just hangs. I can start the load again and it will stop in another place. It once got as far as just 22 applications to load the just stopped and put up the garbage again. Any ideas? I burned a new CD and it does the same thing. Also tried an external USB CD drive and same results. thanks 73 Jim W7RY

Personally, I prefer to set my PL and DPL in the radios rather than in software or the controller. Then again, I like to use the parallel port and generic CM108 fobs instead of URIs and prefer SimpleUSB to usbradio! hi hi Carry on.... <grin> 73 Kyle K0KN Olathe, KS Allstar 2210-2219 ----- Original Message ----- > > Is there any chance that DCS is on the "to do" list also?

New installation trouble...
by Don Hackler 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

I'm bringing up a new server using the ACID distro. I don't have any radio or URI hardware attached. I haven't done any allstar server/node/password configuration... As soon as the server reboots after the installation is complete, asterisk keeps restarting. Each time Asterisk fires up, it bombs out with error 1 and tries to restart. The Asterisk logs complain that Zaptel is configured incorrectly. /etc/zapata.conf only has this section in it: [channels] signalling=em_txrx group=9 channel=psuedo Any ideas? = = = = = Also, the password setting function in the installation script doesn't seem to work. I had to bust in with grub in single user mode and clear the root password to get into the system at all.

Installing Acid Centos on Asus EEEPC
by Eric Guth 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

Hi All, I am Eric, WA6IGR/4Z5UG. On a recent visit to California I found out about Allstar Link and thought it would be a great way to connect to my old friends in California and Colorado from my home in Israel. I also maintain the two meter repeater in Jerusalem and I would like to and an Allstar node through a UHF link to my Allstar server. I have the URI and want to install the ACID on a Asus 8" EEEPC. I had a version of Asterisk on this PC before and it worked great for a couple of years as a small office telephone system. When I installed the Allstar Acid install, the E0 port would not open. I found references to the fact that Centos does not install drivers for WAN ports for the Asus product, but they could be added. Has anyone made an install using the Asus eeepc and would you have an Acid install that includes these drivers? 73, Eric WA6IGR/4Z5UG

by K&R Yoksh 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hello everyone, I'd like to know if anyone has discovered how to play an audio file to connected Echolink nodes? The playback command only plays my audio to connected Allstar nodes. I'm trying to set up an automatic connect message to be played to incoming Echolink connections. Thanks. 73 Kyle K0KN
