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?

2 Echolinks on Server solved!
by Loren Tedford 31 Jul '15

Ok i was able to solve my issues by having 2 public ip addresses to my vps here is what my Echolink.conf looks like. Hope this helps.. Note that i have them connected to the same allstar node this important i do believe because of the chan_echolink [el0] ipaddr=23.239.26.208 confmode=no call=KC9ZHV-L pwd=######### name=KC9ZHV Rpt System qth=Olney, IL email=Lorentedford(a)gmail.com maxstns=800 rtcptimeout=99 node=925514 recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm astnode=41834 context=radio-secure #server1=server1.echolink.org #server2=server2.echolink.org #server3=server3.echolink.org server1=server1.echolink.org server2=servers.echolink.org server3=nawest.echolink.org server4=backup.echolink.org #includeifexists custom/echolink.conf #Deny= #permit= #erxgain=-3.0 ; defaults to -3.0 db #etxgain=3.0 ; defaults to 3.0 db [el1] ipaddr=45.33.1.43 confmode=no call=KC9ZHV-R pwd=############# name=KC9ZHV Rpt System qth=Olney, IL email=Lorentedford(a)gmail.com maxstns=800 rtcptimeout=99 node=898243 recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm astnode=41834 context=radio-secure #server1=server1.echolink.org #server2=server2.echolink.org #server3=server3.echolink.org server1=server1.echolink.org server2=servers.echolink.org server3=nawest.echolink.org Loren Tedford (KC9ZHV) Email: lorentedford(a)gmail.com Phone: 618-553-0806 http://www.lorentedford.com http://www.kc9zhv.com http://hub.kc9zhv.com

Echolink Policy
by Doug Crompton 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

I just thought I would remind everyone that we technically are using Echolink against their policy. This is Allstar and for the most part you should be using Allstar for your connections. Echolink is there as a possible way to occasionally connect users that have no better way to get in. I have it setup on my hub and 90% of the time the connections are from our own Allstar users that don't have a node nearby but have a smartphone and can easily get in on Echolink. The audio quality is noticeably worse than Allstar but it works. This occasional use although against policy is not pushing the envelope too much. So before Echolink admin comes down on us and stops connections altogether lets not abuse what we have. If you have a buddy or group on Echolink you continually connect to try to get them involved in Allstar. It will solve the problem and your connections will be much more pleasurable. Here is a link to the Echolink policy. I don't write it nor necessarily agree with it but as a private system it is their right to set conditions. In particular see items 4, 11, and 13. http://www.echolink.org/access_policies.htm Many of the larger Allstar groups like the WAN system have banned Echolink altogether. Also remember everything you say on here is publicly accessible. Just google 'Allstar Echolink' so consider that someone is watching! 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

enabling courtesy tones
by KD8USF 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I've tried to enable the courtesy tones but nothing happens, is there a line I need to add to the config to enable it? I'm just trying to use the defaults to start with. These lines are uncommented: unlinkedct=ct2 remotect=ct3 linkunkeyct=ct8 The only tone that does work is the command tone... Thanks.Andrew.

ACID filesystem
by Tom Hayward 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

I moved an ACID VM from VirtualBox to VMware. Now the Linux kernel fails during boot. It fails at Trying to resume from LABEL=SWAP-sda2 Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2) Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: count not find filesystem '/dev/root' It appears that ACID is doing something more complex than simply mounting the filesystems found in fstab. What is it attempting to do? What file can I edit to point it at the right partitions? I already tried changing /etc/fstab from LABEL=/ to /dev/sda1, and LABEL=SWAP-sda2 to /dev/sda2, but as you see above, it is still finding the LABEL reference somewhere. Tom KD7LXL

IAX registeration failure
by Chuck Henderson 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

I am having a problem with one of my servers not registering. Here is what it look like - - - - cut here - - - - server8*CLI> iax2 show registry Host dnsmgr Username Perceived Refresh State 67.215.233.178:4569 N 27723 <Unregistered> 60 Request Sent 67.215.233.178:4569 N 27722 <Unregistered> 60 Request Sent - - - - cut here - - - - server8*CLI> iax2 show registry Host dnsmgr Username Perceived Refresh State 67.215.233.178:4569 N 27723 <Unregistered> 60 Timeout 67.215.233.178:4569 N 27722 <Unregistered> 60 Timeout - - - - cut here - - - - I can icmp ping 67.215.233.178 and I can connect to it's ftp port but the allstarlink registration fails. This server did work in the past and nothing in any of the .conf files has changed since it was working last. I have rebooted everything many times while troubleshooting this. This is an ACID install from a few years ago, last updated Nov 2013, the same as my other 2 servers that are still working fine. I don't really know when the problem started but I know it has been more than a couple of days. Can anyone suggest next steps in troubleshooting this problem? Chuck WB9UUS.

Okay sound good. just tested this but i never get a connect to the remote node. I can do *3<remote_node> and that links up fine but *4<remote_node> fails to connect ? is there anything that I should add to rpt.conf and thanks for the fast reply nice.
