Re: [App_rpt-users] New server not starting asterisk relabily

I have retested on a HP DC6000 and it seems reliable so far and the issue is mostly not there. When first starting the computer 2 things happen Most of the URI's show the following message immediately after boot then they stop. Could this be normal and / or nothing to worry about as it only seems to happen on a reboot? [Sep 29 07:46:00] WARNING[1212]: chan_simpleusb.c:2646 simpleusb_read: Possibly stuck USB read channel. [usb43826][Sep 29 07:46:00] WARNING[1212]: chan_simpleusb.c:2654 simpleusb_read: Nope, USB read channel [usb43826] wasn't stuck after all. Secondly after re-downloading the configuration from the AllStar web site sometimes 2 of the URI's reverse their node assignments, and after several reboots they reverse again. what can i do to prevent this? thank you Chris From: C B <harvard5362(a)yahoo.com> To: "szingman(a)msgstor.com" <szingman(a)msgstor.com> Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2016 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] New server not starting asterisk relabily Hi thank you for the link to a different installer. 64 bit was used however i have the same result as there are several of this model taken out of service (and in the recycle pile, only reason taken out of service i was told is that they are upgrading all I3s) i can get another on Monday to try if you think it could be a hardware failure. Or i can try anything you wish if you have another idea. I am building to to replace a failing RLC DSP 404 and the site will be inaccessible for several months once winter hits thus i am attempting to test for reliability a little more than usual before deploying.

DIAL with Quad PCI Radio Card with Kenwood G707 Remote Base
by Monty 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hello All, I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this, or anything like this. I installed DIAL on my remote base node that has a Quad PCI radio card with a Kenwood G707 remote base on it. I was able to get it working under DIAL with Steve Zingman's help. Under DIAL, when I am steering the G707 with memory or direct dial frequencies, it takes roughly 12 seconds for the display on the front of the G707 to change and then I get a function complete. Under CentOS, it would only take a second or two. Configs were copied over from the CentOS archive and are identical except for the change in filenames due to the channel now being called DAHDI. Any thoughts? Monty

Disable the TXENA
by Skyler F 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Is it possible to disable the T X E N A announcement when re enabling the transmitter? I have a script which disables the transmitter and re-enables every time that I switch channels on my remote base. It is sort of annoying that it goes throughout all links that have telemetry enabled. 73 Skyler

Fail portal download
by Chris Viningre 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

When I install Dial on a laptop or Raspberry pi I get a failure to download configuration from allstar. I reinstall and manually configure and everything works. I would like to use the portal to configure but when I set it to download nothing happens on my allstar computer. Is there a command I need to set in a conf file? Is there a script I can run manually?

Forgotten password
by Te Bussell 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi, I cannot tell you how much I regret writing this question. I have forgotten my username and password for my Allstar Raspberry Pi SD SD card that I previously had working and fully configured. Is there a method to reset this, or do I need to start again? I have added init=/bin/sh to the end of my cmdline.txt file. If this procedure works, I should be able to reset the password. However, this will not cure a forgotten username in the event I cannot get it right. Thoughts please? Cheers Bill Bussell KB9WKR Sent from my iPad

How do I setup channel B to generate a PL tone?
by Steve Smith 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

I am using the RPi2-3 image on a Pi3 and the RB-USB-RIM. I would like to set Channel B to output a PL tone of 110.9 Hz. In SimpleUSB, I have set txmixb=tone. I have set the level to 500. Using an oscilloscope, I see no output from Channel B. Where do I set the frequency and how do I enable it? Tnx Steve N8AR

What you are interested in is a Control Operator command.

Node Connect
by Chris Viningre 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

I am running a node on my repeater. Its a new setup using a URI and Dial software. I can call the phone number and get to my node. It will let me talk on the repeater but the only commands I can use is *99 to transmit and *70 for status. I cant connect to another node or any other commands. Coming in on a HT I can only use *70 and no other commands will do anything.I am new at this so any and all help would be great. Chris Viningre 70 W.

IAX/Zoiper Audio and Level
by no1pc＠yahoo.com 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Just got things setup so Zoiper works on my node. I can connect and pass voice from PC client and Droid clients - but the audio level from those going out to the Transmitter is low. Is there a way to adjust that? The iPhone client connects but does not yet pass voice... still working on that.
