Experimental Asterisk app_rpt build available for Raspberry Pi 2
by (KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez 08 Mar '15

08 Mar '15

Hello, I just rolled an experimental build of Asterisk app_rpt on the Raspberry PI2 for ArchLinux. Use at your own risk. You're on your own! It is experimental, but you're welcome to ask questions here or directly if I have the time to respond. There is nothing special about it, except it it runs on the Raspberry Pi 2. It was an excercise to roll my own and learn more about how to roll my own Allstarlink. I must give credit to Anthony, VK2ACP, whose excellent package build tool Dahdi-linux-allstar-pi for Archlinux in GitHub was a blessing after spending countless hours trying to get Dahdi to install correctly. His tool made it a breeze. Also credit to the BBB guys (KB4FXC WA3DSP W0ANM) since my BBB Asterisk configuration worked with minor changes on the Pi 2. The disk image is being hosted here (Yes we also do IRLP, but had nowhere else to host this file!) : http://irlplatino.net/wp/?page_id=738 and there is a link where you can download the zip file. As usual, unzip, and use Win32DiskImager to write on an 8GB microSD card. Thanks to KP4EOP and KP3IV for hosting of the file. To get it up and running: Download ZIP file. Unzip and use Win32DiskImager to write image to an 8GB microSD card. Insert sd card into Raspberry Pi2. Apply power, boot up and root password is allstarpi2. Change root password with 'passwd' command. (Not my problem if you get hacked!) Run the script /etc/asterisk/scripts/node_id_gen.sh W0XXX 12345 to generate a voice ID. Use your call and optional node number. This generates your callsign and node id. The node id parameter is optional. Configure .conf files in /etc/asterisk as usual. There are no special start up scripts. Change password, and a stock configuration of allstar is in the usual folders (/etc/asterisk). Use at your own risk. You're on your own! 73!

I am setting up a new install. I fat fingered something setting up my static IP. Now I get an error message saying I am unable to download post install script phase1.sh Everything stops and no command prompt and I can't seem to figure out how to get back in to edit eth0.

Cos setting
by Skyler F 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

How can I trigger the Allstar receiver when it gets a voltage from COS or switch 3 on the fob? Does it automatically trigger when a voltage is there? I added 5v to the COR URIx and did not get any trigger and I also tried closing SW3 on the home brew fob. Am I doing something wrong? I will be getting a COS out on my radio and want to use The CTCSS on the radio instead of in AllStar. Thanks Skyler -- Skyler Fennell amsatnet.info KDØWHB electricity440(a)gmail.com

MDC1200 id access restriction.
by geoffrey mendelson 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

I know that there is support for MDC1200, but is there the ability to restrict users of the node only to radios that transmit a specific MDC1200 ID (or set of ID's) at the beginning of each transmission? Or for the BAOFENG owners DTMF? TIA and 73. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson 4X1GM/N3OWJ Jerusalem Israel.

Zoiper IAX
by Robert Newberry 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

I am still having a problem with zoiper. I run zoiper on a windows 7 pc on the same network as my node. I leave the call to my node open 24/7. Sometime in the early morning hours. The call is hung up. Zoiper status shows "normal call clearing". My node is set to to email me connect and disconnect notices. This works fine I get an email if I call my node and I get a disconnect when I hang up. For some reason this issue is not sending me a disconnect email. Everything worked fine up until about a month ago. This configuration would leave calls open almost indefinitely unless my windows box needed a restart. So my issue is I am not sure where to look to resolve the problem. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you Bob/N1XBM

Re: [App_rpt-users] homebrew USB sound fob no RX audio

I have a question and a possible clue to the issue *Question:* Would a Dell dimension 8400 with a pentium 4 processer be able to handle two nodes at once? For the most part, the first node will only be connected to the second node and the second node will connect to remote nodes. *Possible clue to issue* So I was in the radio-tune-menu option number four, the CTCSS detection. I first did it on node Number 1 and it worked fine just like always. I then tried it on node number 2 and it didn't work and everything was 0. Then I tried it with node number 1 but the USB devices swapped. Node 1 worked, and node 2 didn't. So there is something wrong where no CTCSS will get detected and it is always 0.

However, you can setup a public gateway (or hub) node which can see your private nodes. Then, connect to the hub via the web transceiver. Then, connect the hub node to your private nodes. I do this all the time. And, private node numbers are 1* (like 1000 or 12345), not 2*. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 2 Mar 2015, Cole Cunningham wrote: > I've found all the information needed to set up a private node except > how to use it from the internet.

Using a private node
by Cole Cunningham 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

I've found all the information needed to set up a private node except how to use it from the internet. The Web transceiver from allstarlink.org wants you to chose a node from their list. If I make a private node, is it possible to use the web transceiver or something similar to access and use the node? Or can you only use a private node from another node by using the connect commands? Also, do I understand correctly that node numbers in the 2000 range are private? If so, how is access restricted? I tried the test node 2002 and connected with no problem, just like a public node. Cole, AA7RD

Using a private node
by Steve Zingman 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Cole, You can only use the web transceiver for AllStar nodes, not private nodes. You can use a IAXRPT on a Windows machine (or under wine) to connect to a private node. No, you are not correct node numbers BELOW 2000 are private 2002 is a registered node. 73, Steve N4IRS > I've found all the information needed to set up a private node except how to > use it from the internet.
