Allmon Control Panel
by Tim Sawyer 09 May '14

09 May '14

Allmon can now do pretty much anything that can be done at the Asterisk CLI giving you complete web based control of your nodes. The Allmon Control Panel is a popup window which allows selected commands to be issued through the Asterisk Manager Interface. The command selection is configured with an ini file allowing the Allmon admin set up virtually any AMI command. The included sample ini show you just some of the things you can do. Users must login to see the new Control Panel button. If more than one node is display, select a node from the drop down and them press Control Panel. Please grab the latest Allmon at my gtihub at https://github.com/tsawyer/allmon/tree/allmon2 Enjoy, — Tim WD6AWP :wq

Re: [App_rpt-users] wiki instructions for a manual install

I have xipar running on a "HP Small Form Factor" desktop, just having issues with uptime, so I've got some experience with it. So far i have two nodes, just waiting for some USB fobs at hamvention. Anyways the curve is expected, as I assume I need to manually compile apt_rpt, and asterisk. I had seen some steps for raspberry pi in here and assumed it would just be about the same.

Any type of VoIP application requires instantaneous server availability or your audio quality will be lousy. Virtualized servers (such as provided by the host you mention) work okay for websites, etc., where host latency is tolerable. But it flat out won't work for VoIP. For your first step, you *really* need to build a system on a small dedicated box, using the distro you're considering. Then, try virtualization using a free package like VirtualBox. Once you've achieved these steps, next consider how to host the conference server. BTW, I'm not trying to dissuade from trying this, but, there will be a steep learning curve. 73, David KB4FXC On Thu, 8 May 2014, Trevor Halsey wrote: > HI, I'm trying to make a node/conference server on a Amazon server, e.g. a virtualized server without the capability to use an iso, I have to use a prebuilt image of debian, redhat, centos, or whatever distro is available there.

wiki instructions for a manual install

HI, I'm trying to make a node/conference server on a Amazon server, e.g. a virtualized server without the capability to use an iso, I have to use a prebuilt image of debian, redhat, centos, or whatever distro is available there. Is there something out there instruction to do this on a CentOS 6 (x86 or x64, does it matter?) instance? My final goal is to be able to just make the machine a public image for others to install as well, but I'm still learning on how in the world I'm supposed to use Amazon AWS. Keep in mind I'm using their free package, 1cpu, 60gb of storage, and ~600mb of ram. I saw some instructions for raspberri pi, but I can't seem to find them again. I'm also looking to install freestar (I though I saw Ramesh in the somewhere in the archives) on top of apt_rpt in the future to be an echolink, allstar, and xrf reflector, but I'm having trouble for the initial steps after installing the OS.

Repeater DTMF Usage
by kk6ecm 08 May '14

08 May '14

When connecting Allstar repeater nodes from your radio DTMF pad, what app_rpt configuration suppress the DTMF tones from being sent to the repeater transmitter. In other words how does this work? Also, is there a configuration that sends the tones through. Thanks, Bob kk6ecm Sent from iPad

portal download
by James H Vernetti 07 May '14

I have been trying for a week to download the config from the portal for node 27260 and 40818. I have tried four different router's and have even hooked the computer direct to the cable modem and nothing works. I know that I am communicating with the portal because I gave it a phony password and it told me " improper password " or something to that effect. anyone know what I should try? Jim wd0ekr

Beagle Blacks back in at Adafruit
by Doug Crompton 06 May '14

06 May '14

They are back in stock again and this might be the last of the rev B models. Rev C comes out in early May and is expected to cost about $10 more with 4G eMMC. You do not need a rev C for Allstar but after Rev B runs out that will be your only choice.BeagleBone Black Link: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1278 Get the 9.95 black case also and power supply if you don't have one. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

MicroSD cards
by Doug Crompton 06 May '14

06 May '14

If you bought a BBB you will need at least one microSD card to burn the image on. Here is about the best deal around - http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Frustration-Free-Packaging--SDSDQU-… Highly recommended is at least Sandisk ultra 16G class 10 30mb read. Buy at least three for free shipping. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

I have a couple of BBB that I'm trying to get up on allstar. I see a couple of QSO's have been accomplished between 2 BBB's. Any timeline for an install script? Thanks. Ron

Finding older version of ACID
by Bob 06 May '14

06 May '14

I'm running the current version of ACID (based on CentOS 5.10), and find I can't use static IP addresses. After many hours of troubleshooting until I found out there is an OS bug in the current ACID build. In some cases, static IPs are all I have, unless I can perhaps install a router on the static IP, then tuck the Allstar server in behind to utilize a DCHP configuration. Are the older versions (CentOS 5.7) available, and will they work with the newer Asterisk svn updates? What are some of the hurdles using and older ACID version? ... still trying to avoid a total recompile on a new OS :-) Thanks, Bob kk6ecm
