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?

*Please Reply* Are the O'l Digium FXS or FXO pci cards Supported?

Or will they work? I remember reading they worked on old versions of apt_rpt I also figure they may be a better option than USB but relatively rare/expensive. I was just given a bag of them and was wondering if they'd be useful on Acid and what's going on now. Thanks! Steve Gladden Michigan Broadband Systems Connecting Your Business!

Remedied Thanks, Bob kk6ecm -----Original Message----- From: kk6ecm [mailto:kk6ecm@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2015 11:56 AM To: 'app_rpt mailing list' Subject: DTMF Detect When I send a function command via iaxrpt to my node, it responds appropriately, but when I key in *5<macro#> from my radio (tried on HT and mobile), the node does not respond. It worked before I updated the computer hardware, same rpt.conf, and I believe the repeater hardware is the same configuration. 5=macro,1 ;in the [functions] list Thanks, Bob kk6ecm

Use of ntpd in ACID
by kk6ecm 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

I'm interested in using ntpd to keep my ACID server sync'd with date and time, and notice it is off, as configured from the CD. I set "chkconfig ntpd on, but wonder what servers I should use in ntp.conf. Also, has anyone used it and had any difficulties? thanks, Bob kk6ecm

Squelch Tail Elimination
by R. Wayne 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

After relocating our MSF 5000 to a new location and adjusting the squelch as low as we could reliably go we noticed that we have a squelch tail. Our coordination requires that we don’t. It appears that the MSF has a fixed squelch tail elimination method an no control other than cranking up the squelch again. This is surprising since we use PL encode / decode. I would think that the PL would mute as soon as the user unkeys. With this said is there anything in Allstar that would help with this situation? Wayne

I believe he's using the RTCM, so the usbradio commands will not work. On March 29, 2015 12:33:30 PM EDT, Ken <ke2n(a)cs.com> wrote: >There are two squelch tails.
