Android IAX client for AllStar
by Steve Zingman 26 Dec '15

26 Dec '15

New version to test: Add connected node to number status screen. Mute transmitted audio while PTT not asserted. (This will work with nodes setup for VOX) Added exit to option menu. Slight change to keypad. Added keys A B C D. Version 1.6 We have built a early beta version of a Android IAXRPT Client. This is a simple Android app that will connect with a AllStar Asterisk node. Think IAXRPT for Android. It has a PTT button! <https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ey9u0tvtdedgh4/AndroVoIP.apk?dl=0> This is a early build. There are a lot of feature to add and I'm sure bugs. The client only supports ulaw at this time. For backspace use the virtual keyboard. Press Send to send commands and node numbers. There is only one account supported. To create an account, tap the Account button, Tap IAX2 No Account defined to open the account dialog. Hostname: FQDN or IP address of the server. Port: UDP default is 4569 Username: matching iax.conf stanza Password: matching iax.conf stanza CallerID: this can be displayed in Allmon and the AllStar node status page. Caller Number: not used yet. Save: Press to save account information. Press back button to go to main screen. Enter node number and press send. PTT bar will be white while connected to node red whie transmitting. See<https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/blob/master/configs/iax.conf> for iaxclient stanza See <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/blob/master/configs/extensions.conf> for iax-client stanza Feel free to download and try out. Please report bugs and feature to me. I will also be happy to answer questions here on the list. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

Dial vs ACID
by Jamey Wright 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

I have a couple of systems running ACID. Is there any compelling reason to upgrade them to DIAL? I don't have any issues with them at the moment and I have some other things I'd rather be doing. Thanks Jamey WR4JW

Registration issues
by Thor Wiegman 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

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?

Installing dial
by Lu V 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hello everyone, I've been out of pocket for a bit and I am working on a new node. I noticed a new image called dial and I just try to install it. I'm a little bit unclear, do you choose the second option in the menu "install" or do you choose the first one that says "install asterisks"? Lu Vencl KA4EPS

Unregistered nodes.
by Alberto Enrique Puig 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi everyone on the group, I I have tried helping some friends installing the new DIAL version of AllStar Link on X86 thin client computers. Everything goes fine but some nodes do not register on the system. Here one example: Connected to Asterisk 1526 currently running on KP4CV (pid = 613) Verbosity is at least 3 KP4CV*CLI> iax2 show registry Host dnsmgr Username Perceived Refresh State 0.0.0.0:4569 N 42642 <Unregistered> 60 Unregistered KP4CV*CLI> Have I missed something? Any help will be welcome.

Remote bases
by Stephen - K1LNX 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi all, Been away from the project for quite some time and have recently got the itch to jump back in and start playing with things again. I'm really interested in setting up a remote base. I have an FT-817, and I'm mildly certain that CAT commands may be the same as the (supported) FT-897. Anyone set one of these up and care to comment? Lots of reading ahead of me it seems, so much has been added from the looks of it :) 73 Stephen K1LNX

With technology gleaned from: DMRlink (N0MJS) NW Digital Radio Digital Voice Systems, Inc. Jonathan Naylor (G4KLX) DSD (Anonymous) Google N4IRR and N4IRS (INAD) would like to announce the first in a series of digital <---> analog Gateways. As a proof of concept, Virtual Hub Node 2100 is hosting the DMR-MARC to Allstar Gateway. This is a receive only Gateway bridging DMR-MARC. DCI and DMR+ to AllStar. This proof of concept is using no Motorola software or hardware. This is running on a Raspberry Pi2 Later versions of the Gateway will allow 2 way communications with Digital networks. 73, Steve N4IRS and Mike N4IRR AllStar Digital Discussion at: <http://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/allstar-digital> All welcome. -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

I just tried this out..(eannmode=2). It works but is there any way to make it normal letters and numbers instead of phonetic? Thanks
