strange node registry issue
by Sam Skolfield 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hello Group! I have had my node, 29733 (voter), up for quite a few months now, and it works great. However, when my server gets turned off, it seems to take two reboots to connect to the hub. For instance, I'll boot the server up, wait a day, shut it down and reboot, then it finally registers. In my little experience with servers, issues like this are often related to poor DNS configuration, but I find it strange that that after some time, a second reboot will reliably fix the problem. Server is on a static LAN and WAN IP. Any ideas? Thanks! Sam -- KJ6QFS Sam Skolfield

rpt.conf
by Geoff 04 Mar '14

First off, thanks for all the help in getting a 2nd node running on the system. It's been a learning experience and actually... a lot of help came from the drupal site. Thanks, Tim for doing that. I still fumble around, but finding things is getting *somewhat* easier. Interesting bug I found, though, in rpt.conf... and I'm sure this is in a .c module, somewhere (morse.c?) but alas, I'm no programmer... If I define a stanza in 29655 for Morse with the line morse=morse29655 then app_rpt, using /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf *should* go to that stanza and read: [morse29655] speed=20 ; Approximate speed in WPM frequency=500 ; Morse Telemetry Frequency amplitude=2048 ; Morse Telemetry Amplitude idfrequency=1000 ; Morse ID Frequency idamplitude=2048 ; Morse ID Amplitude All is fine and dandy, and when I key the repeater, I get exactly *that*. Cool. Here's where it gets *buggy*... Using the same rpt.conf, as I define the morse stanza for node 29657 the same way I do in 29655, with the line morse=morse29657 app_rpt *should* pick that up and do [morse29657] speed=20 ; Approximate speed in WPM frequency=1000 ; Morse Telemetry Frequency amplitude=2048 ; Morse Telemetry Amplitude idfrequency=500 ; Morse ID Frequency idamplitude=2048 ; Morse ID Amplitude ... but, that's not what happens. If I key the repeater first, then I get what is defined in morse29655. Problem is, it doesn't change for 29657. Meaning, whatever id/telem frequencies were defined, are used subsequently, depending on which stanza is used first. If I key the simplex (29657) node -first-, the same thing happens, only both machine use the morse29657 stanza. As a possible solution, I redefined the stanza with morse=29655morse29655 and, of course, renamed the stanza to reflect. No typos... they've been checked and checked and re-checked. Thoughts? -Geoff/W5OMR

Macro to Toggle Link transceive on and off
by Eric Guth 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Good morning to one and all, I would like to make a macro to toggle the link that I am listening to from monitor to transceive, and back and forth. Right now, I use two macros for each link that I connect to. One to turn on the link in monitor mode, and the other to turn on the link in transceive mode. Any ideas? 73, Eric 4Z1UG / WA6IGR Allstar Node: 28422

Torben, When your public IP address changes you should check your echolink database sometime after (15-30 minutes) to see if the IP address for your node has changed to the new address. If it has then that would indicate that it is updating properly. If not then maybe there is a code problem with the IP address change. My public IP does not change so I do not see the problem. Also check the database for stations you cannot connect to. You could also do a check on a windows computer to compare the results. There are sites where you can enter echolink node numbers or calls and see if it is online and other details. You could also detect the IP address change and restart asterisk shortly after in a script. Not the best solution but it might work. Also I am sure you know this but you cannot use more than one echolink connection on one public IP address unless you use a proxy. The port forwarding is to only one computer behind your router and in this case it would be your Allstar server. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: torben(a)klimt-online.com To: doug(a)crompton.com Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:17:42 +0100 Subject: AW: [App_rpt-users] Re :__Problems_with_Echolink hi doug, i will try if the problem come the next time. i think the problem is that the "database" don`t update any more. here in europe we get a new IP Adress every 24h from our provider and if the database-update don`t run any more then i have wrong IPs to the Calls so i find out that if i connect to Call DB0CUX i get an answer from VK2XYZ or... i hope i can explain the problem with my english :-/ greetings and many tnx for your help Von: app_rpt-users-bounces(a)ohnosec.org [app_rpt-users-bounces(a)ohnosec.org] im Auftrag von Doug Crompton [doug(a)crompton.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

I messaged back the method to check the echolink database. Did you do that? Is the call/IP address of the echolink station you want to call in your local database? If you are not getting the database it isn't going to work. echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L The call has to be exact including case but you can do echolink dbdump to see the entire database. It is hard to see in the client mode so at linux prompt do... asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" | more or asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > filename to save it to a file for viewing. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: torben(a)klimt-online.com To: mike(a)midnighteng.com; app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:22:41 +0100 Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Re :__Problems_with_Echolink possible is of course everything but i don`t think that there is any problem with the router software BUT we have many problems with the internetconnection at the repeater location. sometimes there is no more signal so we must restart the router/modem (all included; AVM Fritzbox) any other ideas or issues to solve the prob ?

It kinda sounds like a router issue as strange as that may seem but not exactly the router... Is there anything else on the network (computers) that could have a piece of malware on it ? I have seen many a "unidentified malware" exploit router security and play with the router settings in router ram without writing them to NVRam. This type of malware eventually uses the host as a forwarding hub for data they have collected elsewhere to hide source of where it is going. While it it easy to find the infected computer, much harder to find the files on that computer. Keeping router firmware up to date or using a newer router can help. Just a thought if you are unable to locate the problem. ...mike/kb8jnm -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Re :__Problems_with_Echolink From: Doug Crompton <doug(a)crompton.com> Date: Tue, February 11, 2014 12:44 pm To: "app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org" <app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org> The command is 'echolink dbdump" [root@WA3DSP_Allstar wa3dsp]# asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" | grep WA3DSP 147090|WA3DSP-L|50.191.8.33 You can also use dbget WA3DSP_Allstar*CLI> echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L 147090|WA3DSP-L|50.191.8.33 To dump the entire database so you can look at it do asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > echolink.txt echolink.txt can be any filename and directory you want.

Allstar connecting to Echolink?
by Kevin Oleniczak 03 Mar '14

Does anyone know if this should work still? I can't seem to be able to get my allstar node to register on the echolink system as active. Everything works when i use the echlink app and the firewall settings are in place. Callsign is N9JPG-L. thanks [Mar 1 19:20:00] WARNING[539]: chan_iax2.c:10127 iax2_do_register: REGISTER-LOG: Sending registration request for '28970' [Mar 1 19:20:00] WARNING[541]: chan_iax2.c:7690 registry_rerequest: REGISTER-LOG: registry rereqquest -- Received OK from Echolink server nawest.echolink.org -- Directory pgm done downloading(partial, compressed), 647 records
