Yes, I've seen it before. Ramesh asked the question here and a couple of us had some questions as to his configuration. I think he is in process of gathering info so we can trouble shoot more.

I too have asked questions here concerning DIAL and been told curtly to go elsewhere. As DIAL distros have all the files included and interface to the FOBs and SBCs, where do we draw the line? I have followed all instructions for installing the software and had fresh boot problems. It was hard to tell where the problem was, but when I am new to Linux/DIAL and the whole Allstar project, I looked for guidance where I found discussions. There is an Allstar Link community on Google+, and you will see I have all except 1 postings! Crickets......... Perhaps the moderator/users here could post a list of URLs for different aspects of AllStar Link so us Newbies would know where to hang out. I have had GREAT support from other listers here by direct email after each post and I sincerely thank all who have taken an interest in someone who has to learn as we all do. 73, Duane KA1LM #42996

Wireless ISP help
by Skyler F 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

We are getting internet from a microwave link wireless ISP on a mountiantop. According to Mountain Broadband, ports are not blocked, and they don't have a firewall. However, when I plug my computer or router into the jack, I am automatically assigned a 10.1.50.x address. Why is this happening? I never requested an IP manually, it assigned me a DHCP IP. Inbound ports are all blocked to my router behind the DHCP IP address when I try to login under the public IP. However... the mountaintop site has a static Public IP that is unique to itself. Can someone explain how this works, and what information I need exactly to get inbound port forwarding to work to my mikrotik router from whatever Mountain Broadband has behind it ? 73 Skyler

It's a deal with us providing them a tower and they provide us Internet. I called his cell and he said ports aren't blocked and that I just need the IP, gateway address and the subnet mask. It was a Sunday so the IT people weren't there but I need to get that information from them. I kept asking about a firewall on there end and they said there's none and that I can get inbound ports. A static IP was even written in pen on the shed so there's something I think I have to configure I'm just super confused on what his setup is.

I'm a wireless ISP. You've been given a NAT IP address. They're trying to economise because real IPs cost money. This next bit is important - understand this well - TALK to them - they're geeks, just like you, not corporates. Go VISIT them and laugh and smile and show interest in how their network runs. Talk about what you are building, and what you want to do and why it will be cool, and tell them about ham radio. Help them do a job, like concreting a pole in the ground, and pull a cable for them. THEN tell them you want a real IP, and other stuff too, and watch them give you access to their entire network. I would, and I do - it's hard to give it away for free, and it's hard to find people like you. Not what you thought, is it. ;) Steve

Whats everyone's thoughts on VMware sphere with dial?
by Loren Tedford 10 Jul '16

10 Jul '16

Whats every ones thoughts on doing vmware sphere cluster host on the main machine that runs the radios.. Then taking dial and making it a vm image floating between the servers.. Is it possible that the uri's will connect up to asterisk if i get them ported into the vm?? Whats the possibility of higher jitter levels?? So far I have been able to get Virtualbox to pass through the URI to a radio I would assume that it would run full duplex if it had to but I really want to make things a little more versatile and reliable. Reason I had asked is because i am doing work on the main frame server tonight and considering running vmware across all the servers from the house to the datacenter and repeater site. Any advice? has anyone done anything similar?

That looks nice. If you make the manufacturing files available, it is quite easy and cheap to get a PCB run made in china. Steve

I got very frustrated trying to source suitable usb fobs in the UK. Various alternative solutions such as the URI seem to attract too many on-costs for shipping, customs etc to make them viable alternatives over here in Scotland. I decided to design a circuit board to integrate a CM119 with one of the small Dorji radio modules which has proved succcessful, the resulting nodes being integrated into a 2.4Ghz AREDN network. http://www.feednet.org.uk Since then I did a much smaller board that provides just the functionality of a usb fob but with better RF filtering and an 8P8C socket for the radio interface. It is possible to obtain PCBs from Itead for example, for only a few dollars, even in production runs of as little as 10. The CM119s I sourced from AliExpress. All have seemed ok so far. I also got some from a mainstream US chip supplier. That is not to say that there won't be supply problems in the future - just relating my experience. Making your own isn't for everyone, but it really isn't that hard to do and I find it's a more pleasant experience than trying to bodge existing fobs. 73 Bernie GM4WZG
