AllStar/Asterisk
by James Hill 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi all, I'm new to Allstar, and have a couple of questions: I've used the acid_centos many times as a base for D-STAR gateway boxes, so I'm quite conversant with the distro. The main question, is can Asterisk be configured to use the machine's on board soundcard, and Serial for PTT? I'm trying to build a system from bits and bobs I have lying around in the shack. A friend did mod a CM108 USB dongle a few years back for me, but it never worked and got trashed. I haven't the budget or steady hand to go buying a URI or to start modding CM108 devices. Thanks, James G0FHM

connect vs. permanently connect
by KB0KZR 24 May '13

24 May '13

What's the difference between Connect (ilink,3) and Permanently Connect (ilink,13)? Does one attempt to re-establish the link if the connection drops for whatever reason? Or is it just that ilink,13 can't be brought down by ilink,1? -Matt-

I try to connect five repeaters (nodes) on different mountains and provided with AllStarLink on Acid OS. All mountains are connected with HamNet, an Amateur wireless lan operating in 2,4 GHz and 5,8 GHz Amateur Band and with no connection to Internet. How can I configure AllStarLink files to create a permanent connection? Can anyone help me with instructions for a beginner? Many thanks to all group! 73!

permit= echolink.conf
by Joe Wigal 21 May '13

21 May '13

Is there anyway to increase the permit= list in echolink.conf to work with more than 25 or so stations? Once I get beyond 25 it does not want to allow beyond the first 25. Or is there a way to limit to just USA connections? I dont want to run a wide open echolink but have many friends i don't want to block need to have capacity of about 100 or so. Thought of trying Permit=W*,N*,A*,K* not sure if that would limit to just US callsigns or not. Any suggestions? Thanks Joe W8JTW Node 27891

Re: [App_rpt-users] A problem I am having
by Anthony Percy 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi Steve, It's a long shot but its possible your PC may be having linux USB issues... I have had major problems with some intel motherboards using the onboard USB with linux.To check, get a cheap USB 2.0 pci card and try that in the PC with the uri plugged into the card. Even changing to another USB port on the same motherboard can help! Run the dmesg command and look for any USB error messages. If dmesg has no errors and your Allstar config is ok, then try a cheap USB 2.0 pci card Regards Anthony, VK2ACP

by Mihhail Jakovlev 18 May '13

18 May '13

Hello, Is it possible to install a Webserver and FreePBX on server, where is installed ACID ? I have idea to make a voting repeater with RTCM boards and use other PBX functions, as conferences, IVR and more. If I really understand, ACID distro don't have Asterisk webserver and graphical interface. I am not a Linux guru... If it possible, could you help me with FreePBX install instuctions (I have a just new install from ACID) I need a private voting repeater network (1 server PC with Static IP, 3 voting receivers with RTCM boards, 1 or 2 Transmitters with RTCM boards, and any sip clients, softphone clients) Thank you!
