Ok back to Acid, now what??
by Pierre Martel 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

OK I got my P4 2.66 ghz working with acid. was piece of cake and now both my node are online and working, even echolink is working! I did something that maybe Jim wont like, I have loaded webmin. I like the thing, and its much more easy for my pal that dont understand Linux CLI to do some command quick and easy.. But now I want to do more stuff.. Since this machine will replace an RC-210 I want to know how to have voice ID every 20 miute or so.. I did read a few stuff about cron job for audio ID but it was for server with one node, I have 2, and I dont know if it would still be ok to use that.. And forgot bout this, Our club user are mostly french, I know there are french voice package for asterisk, but I am not sure if I could use one for the message that asterisk do , like connect disconnect and such.. would it be as simple as switching the audio file in the good directory or it would be much more complicated? Is there a Parrot mode with acid? saw it on xipar but I never seen anything about in with acid.. Thanks for your time, i know I ask a lot.. Like I said once ,I dont need the job done for me, just point me in the right direction and I will try to fill the gap. Pierre VE2PF

Looking for the XIPAR experts
by Ron Simpson 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

I don't see alot of support for the XIPAR distro. I installed the latest but as of yet can't connect to it from outside my local LAN. My ACID install works that tells me port forwarding on the router is operational. I am using the same IP and port on each box and yes, only 1 box at a time is hooked to the LAN. I want to play with the "simple voting" if anyone has hints, tips or grief on their own experience's I would love to hear about it. There does not seem to be a lot of help on the XELETEC site, and I can understand why. Just moving forward... Ron Simpson, N6GKJ CET Sr., FCC

by Ryan Collier 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Greetings, I have been working on the node the past couple of days. Here is my problems. 1. The incoming echolink audio is fine the repeater audio is fine. But the incoming asterisk connects are low. Can I adjust that? 2. When an iaxrpt user connects. I can not get the caller id out for that person. I have ,made everyone there own sign in. It is easier on me. Is there a way I can fix this? 3. I have voicemail working ont he repeater. You can access it from RF. But I can not get it to the point where they can check there mail. I can not get login to voiccemailmain to work right. Can I get help on this also? 73 Ryan KB8PMY

Sorry about the stuff up with the forwarded message... Yeah, I never used Virtual PC, by that time I had gone over to Linux on the PC side of things, and when I got an Intel 2006 model Macbook, it rendered the point moot. I used Parallels, then VMWare on the Macbook. But as I said, I do remember a friend using Virtual PC to run Windows 98 on a G3 iMac - terribly slow if I remember correctly, but it did run. Of course, as with any virtualisation, you'll want to max out your RAM first, just in case. VMs love RAM for breakfast.

Don't you mean Windows NT 3.51? And there might be options for those enlightened enough to be running something other than the normal Windows client software. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't SvxLink use Speex between svxlink servers and/or Qtel client and svxlink servers?

The audio reports from the Echolink side are very thin audio, no highs or lows and low level. I have went through my RF link and also through Webtranceiver with the same results. If I do parrot mode on my link, my audio sounds great. The issue seems to be in the interconnect to Echolink.

FWIW, mine sounds pretty poor, but, then, considering what others sound like, people are used to crap audio on echolink, so no one really does anything about it.

Has anyone had problems with very low outbound audio to echolink connections? The audio reports from the Echolink side are very thin audio, no highs or lows and low level. I have went through my RF link and also through Webtranceiver with the same results. If I do parrot mode on my link, my audio sounds great. The issue seems to be in the interconnect to Echolink. Also I tried adjusting the link TX & RX echolink audio levels but I can't hear any change no matter what amounts of + or - gain I put in the etxgain or erxgain statements in the echolink.conf file.
