Another node server having stability issues
by C B 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Please can someone help me find the answer to make my server / nodes reliable. The computer is a HP 5700 with one gig of ram. it locks up and or sends clicking sounds with key-ups to the rest of the linked system and or stops responding. I have re-installed DIAL cut back to one URI and it ran ok for several hours. when i checked it this morning it was in failure again. Any help appreciated. below are some log outputs that may help in finding out what is wrong. Chris Oct 24 05:14:22 N6LXX-OAK_GLEN kernel: [ 729.298590] input: C-Media Electronics Inc.

AllStarLink status
by Steve Zingman 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

As Steve posted yesterday, we lost not only a visionary, but a friend to many. I've had many long telephone conversations with Jim over the last year. We covered many topics including moving app_rpt forward. I have taken over managing the project to continue Jim's work and keep it evolving. The first steps are to make sure everything stays running. This means among other things the node registration services. Without that for all intents and purposes, the network goes down. New users continue to signup and new nodes are getting assigned. This has to continue. I have put together a group of people that are working to make sure services stay online. We are working towards having more then 1 person responsible for each task. Once we are comfortable with the tasks involved, we can take on the other needs. As far as the source code is concerned, I have copied the source to github. This will make changes more visible and allow for submissions to be vetted and included. There will be no changes in the short term. The github repository is at <https://github.com/AllStarLink> I will make sure AllStarLink survives and evolves. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Just say no to world domination"

AllStarLink registration service
by Steve Zingman 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

I spent some time yesterday debugging the registration service on allstarlink.org Except for a few nodes attempting to register with peer IDs like "NODENUMBER" things have stabilized. There are still a number of issues yet to squash overall. Over the long term we will reduce the number of tasks assigned to any one server and provide better redundancy for all services. Please let me know if you have any issues with the registration service. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "No, INAD does not just mean I need a drink"

New install issue
by Bob Clabaugh 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

First, thanks to the folks who stepped up to help keep the Allstar project alive. Second, I have an issue that someone might see an obvious answer.... New Dial installation, single radio running simplex. Associated settings in rpt.conf (1) and usbradio.conf (0) are in place. Radio-tune-menu keys the radio, as does "radio key" from the Asterisk CLI. However, and audio coming through the dahdi channel does not key the radio. I have verified this using parrot mode, as well as the built in status messages (*81): W6WHD*CLI> rpt fun 40676 *81 -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'rpt/goodevening' (language 'en') -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'rpt/thetimeis' (language 'en') -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'digits/7' (language 'en') -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'digits/30' (language 'en') -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'digits/7' (language 'en') -- <DAHDI/pseudo-663332995> Playing 'digits/p-m' (language 'en') -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-663332995' What am I missing? This is the first time I've set up a node NOT using a repeater. Thanks in advance, Bob W6WHD

Registration of '42435' rejected: '<unknown>' from: '67.215.233.178' Messages

Hi All, I have been seeing an abundance of these messages lately on both of my nodes from the "asterisk -r" console. chan_iax2.c:9728 socket_process: Registration of '42435' rejected: '<unknown>' from: '67.215.233.178' The http://stats.allstarlink.org/ site shows a bunch of nodes reregistering at the same time as mine - so I'm guessing that this is something unrelated to my individual nodes. Just wondering if others are seeing this and if it is something that I need to worry about. 73, R.I.P. Jim Dixon, WB6NIL You will be missed. Lawrence - N6YFN 42435, 44045

Will surely miss him. He helped me out several times since I started with this app_rpt stuff in 2009. He fixed up source code to help me a few times, and we discovered a timing issue with the FT-897/857 radios, he fixed up the source code and all was happy. You can't ever forget a guy who goes out of his way to help you. RIP, Jim. George Csahanin W2DB Node 2360

The passing of an important Ham in the Allstar community is sad. Smarts of the Ham to allow a transition of control to others.

Jim Dixon's passing, and Allstar Link transition
by Steve Rodgers 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Hello everyone, It is with deep regret that my long time friend Jim Dixon passed away on 12/16. I've known Jim since we were teenagers, and our interest in electronics engineering was self-reinforcing for both of us. Jim was a bright and caring individual who really loved socializing with others. With regard to Allstar Link, Jim did give me access to the servers, and I have been working to transition control to Steve Zingman N4IRS. He will take over management of Allstar Link. We are doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that Allstar Link continues to be as Jim envisioned it. In the near term, Steve and his team will create a non-profit entity forAllstar Link. Management of Allstar Link is such that it requires a team of individuals all working together to ensure its long term viability. We currently have atransition team in place running the day-to-day operations, node numbers, etc. Final note: At this time donations to Jim's Paypal account should not be sent to his account since we don't have control over it. We will set up something soon to handle incoming donations,and will let everyone know when it is in place. Steve WA6ZFT
