Registration issues

Tonight I had a user tell me that one of my nodes wouldn't connect anywhere. Verified, rebooted the server, still nothing. Tried running the rc.updatenodelist script manually and it just sits there. However, after running the following command I do get an update and can now connect to other nodes. /usr/bin/wget -O /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodeshttp://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl When I checked two other nodes they had the same problem and same work-around. I ran that same command for nodes2 and it works. When I run it for nodes3 it times out. Could a problem with nodes3.allstarlink.org be causing the rc.updatenodelist script to choke? And could that have been causing my nodes to not be able to connect to others?

Echo-stink
by Johnny Keeker 05 Jan '15

I've found the 'permit=w1aw,w5yi,etc' line in the echolink.conf only allows for 29 allowed calls. Any more than 30 entries in the list prevents incoming requests on or not on the list access to the node. Short of checking for typo's, using a backslash\ to continue to the next line, or adding another 'permit= line' hasn't proved any results. ???

"Official" "fixed" DAHDI patches
by Jim Duuuude 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

After much lamenting this morning, I have come up with what I feel comfortable as a "working" DAHDI patch set. This is useful if you are wanting to "roll your own" app_rpt system (perhaps on some non-(Centos 5.X 32 bit) platform). If you take any of the distros of DAHDI 2.5.1 or newer, and apply these patches, it should "work". This patch set may be obtained from: https://allstarlink.org/fixed-dahdi-patches.tar.gz or from SVN at: http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/fixe…

No audio from URIx
by Willem Schreuder 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I have built my third AllStar node using a URIx, but cannot get Tx audio out to work. The node receives audio perflectly, and keys the radio using the PTT line, but there is no audio either from asterisk (e.g. the time announcement) or the "flash" in radio-tune-menu. Adjusting the Tx levels and boost has no effect. I have swapped URIx, cable and radio with a working node, so I have eliminated a bad URIx, cable or radio as a possibility. I have also eliminated a bad node configuration by applying a known good node configuration to the computer (which results in no Tx audio) and using the configuration of this node to a different computer (which works fine). The problem therefore seems to be motherboard related. I have tried two different motherboards: ECS NM70-I Celeron 1037 Mini ITX GIGABYTE GA-C1007UN-D Celeron 1007U Mini ITX Both exhibit the exact same symptom: No Tx audio. The do share the Intel NM70 chipset. Disabling or enabling the on board audio seems to have no effect. lsusb shows only the URIx (C-Media Electronics, Inc) and the Intel USB hub (Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub). Is this a problem folks have previously encountered, or have any suggestions what else I can try?

IPs don`t update
by torben＠klimt-online.com 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi all, i set up an new allstarlink node and now i have the problem that the IPs of the other allstarlink nodes not update. After restart the machine the IPs in the Database are correct and I can connect to my other nodes. But after 24h my nodes get new IPs from the Internetprovider and then it is no longer possible cause the new allstarlink node should always try to reach the old IP address. I think there is a problem by updating the allstarlink nodenumber - IP address database Where is the file located or what can I do for debugging or better fix the problem Tnx 73...

Allstar running on Ubuntu Saucy
by Doug Crompton 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

As an experiment I have compiled Allstar on Ubuntu Saucy 13.10 (the latest version) and it is working well. It required a recompile of the kernel as Ubuntu took out OSS support in their releases several years ago. I did try to use some of the OSS emulators like osspd or aoss but was not successful. Perhaps if someone wanted to play with that they might be able to get it to work. osspd does create /dev/dsp but app_rpt balks at not finding things. Anyhow from this experiment it appears that just about any popular flavor of Linux could be made to work with the existing acid release and dahdi as long as you were willing to recompile the kernel. The code is there just not configured in. The key is the snd-pcm-oss module. Ubuntu has a paticularly easy kernel recompile procedure. It takes all of about three command to do it but a considerable amount of time to compile. I think my choice for a standard though might be Debian which at least to this point configures in the OSS support in its releases. Probably the latest centos went the same way as ubuntu and configured it out. It might be worth a try to see if recompiling the kernel with oss support selected would solve the problem of it not working. You also have to make sure the snd_pcm_oss module is loading at boot. In Ubuntu it did, for my Debian compile I had to add it to /etc/modules. The key is to check for the existence of /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. If they are there it probably will work if not it isn't going to work. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel Beagle Blacks are back in stock and I have one on order. I should know in a week or two whether it is going to work. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

Re: [App_rpt-users] toggling power on USB buss
by Geoff Edmonson 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Well, it happened again, this morning. Both URI's on same usb buss, but this time it was the UHF repeater URI that failed. Previously, it was the vhf simplex node that was 'sensitive'. Shutting down and restarting asstorisk doesn't do it, but ¥> shutdown -r now does. ~shrug~
