ASL on Pi Zero?
by Ian Chilton 13 Oct '18

13 Oct '18

Hi, I wonder if anyone has tried / been successful in getting ASL running on an original Pi or a Pi Zero? The hamvoip.org image is only Pi 2+. I tried using the http://dvswitch.org/ASL_Repository packages to install it on Raspbian on a Zero and it installed, but Asterisk just segmentation fault'd. I was going to try compiling from source, but thought i'd see if anyone had trodden this path first. A Pi 2 will run a dual node without too much load so I don't see why a Pi Zero shouldn't be able to run at least once stream, but it's much smaller and cheaper. Thanks, Ian

Switching Hardware on a Pi
by TGundo 2003 13 Oct '18

Is there something special that needs to be done when switching audio FOB's on a Pi? I had a RIM-7330 with an intermittent USB jack. Received a replacement, swapped it in, everything works except TX audio (from the radio into the RIM, more likely it's not reacting to the PTT logic). When I put the old one back in it worked fine (other than having to hold the USB jack just right). Put the new one back on still no luck. Scott at RB (Who probably thinks I am crazy at this point) was kind enough to send me another RIM-7330 as well as a RIM-Lite. Put the next RIM-7330 in, same issue! Tonight I made up the cable to try the RIM-Lite, Same issue again! I've tried 5 different USB cables, rebooted many times, every basic thing I can think of. It's like it does not want to recognize the PTT output as COS on the RIM. The PTT logic is working on the controller, even tried another port. Strange thing is it will occasionally work, no rhyme or reason, and can quit working mid-sentence. Is there somewhere in the config I need to clear the old RIM out of the file? Is it done by a device ID somewhere? ThanksTomW9SRV

Trying to keep the thread tied together... I am up and things are functioning better now. The Root login was key to getting things to work. Thanks Brian. The Repeater login, does not set the paths correctly. <Additional info, for new or refreshing users, this might be useful info or tips to add to the FAQ, or not...> I originally ran an ACID distro years ago, and decided to do a new version on some different hardware. I used a windows 7 pc to download the .iso file, then used 'rufus3.3' to make a bootable linux usb drive with the Asterisk .iso file on it. It loaded ok, and I got in as Repeater, but could not do any of the asterisk commands, nor asl-menu. (root login fixed that). I had difficulty getting the radio tune commands to work, it kept failing returning that "Device usb_29019" currently not active". If I did 'radio active' it showed my usb device as active. <tip> ctl+alt+[f2] opens another login and console session, switch back to orig console by ctl+alt+[f1] Command lsusb showed cm108 audio device was present to the OS. I found the problem in the top of rpt.conf file, I had under [29019] node number stanza, both rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo and rxchannel = Radio/usb_29019 both uncommented, and it was confusing the program or only activating the first choice. After that I was able to manually "radio tune txvoice" from the Asterisk CLI. I could not get the gui to do the radio tuning functions. It was enabled in modules, and rpt.conf, and worked from CLI. Menu BUG, or something funky on my install? Everything seemed to work nicely when connected through the router by copper, but when I went to a wireless > copper "wi-fi" extender, the DHCP from the extender kept giving a IPV6 address only, without a IPv4 address. I used ifconfig to show my ip address, as my wireless device did not give IP or port info. Adding the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file I was able to prevent IPV6 and get a IPv4 address, and now I was showing on the node list on Allstar. net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1 Most everything is working, except Asterisk does not decode DTMF 3 from either of my radios. I suspect this to be an artifact of using demphasized audio from an HT I used to feed the USB audio device. I plan to try a hamtronics rx board discriminator audio and see if that fixes the DTMF issue. Observed using Asterisk CLI commands: radio set debug (on) and rpt debug level 7 while I was trying to connect to hub 2135. I activated a 2nd node today, #29966, but I only have 1 CM108 usb device at the moment... and could not get Asterisk to play with a logitech USB headset. 73 Ed N3SDO

A couple of connected node questions
by TGundo 2003 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Getting close to my first deployment going live, putting the finishing touches on it. Couple of questions I can't seem to find answers to. 1. Is there a way to see in the console what nodes are currently connected to your node? 2. Is there a way to only allow certain nodes to your node? I kinda looked at the blacklist/whitelist thing in the ASL-Menu, not sure if thats where to look. I guess I'm looking to have a whitelist to add to as opposed to a blacklist to block. Thanks!TomW9SRV

New install x86, commands missing
by Edbathgate 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Hi folks. I did a new install this afternoon of ASL with the 20180417 iso. It installed a nice debian stretch OS with pieces of asterisk, but none of the menu commands work, nor shell scripts: like astdn.sh, nor service asterisk status... the commands are unrecognised. I'm logged in locally on server console as user 'repeater'. I did ps -aux | grep "asterisk" and it does show that asterisk is running. I suspect a path issue, did a "set" command and it scrolled several pages that look like python script. Looked over the faq and troubleshooting pages on wiki, did not enlighten. Is there an erratta for this ISO, or am I just doing something really dumb? Please advise. Ed N3SDO

Quad PCI Radio Card on DIAL
by Monty 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hello Everyone, Does anyone have complete steps to load a Quad PCI card in from a freshly installed DIAL on the current ISO? I'm migrating from ACID to DIAL. Here's what I have so far: 1. modprobe pciradio 2. Converted zaptel.conf to /etc/dahdi/system.conf 3. Copied zapata.conf from ACID machine to DIAL. 4. dahdi_cfg -vv 5. Copied rpt.conf and updated rxchannel= from zap/ to dahdi/ 6. Copied extensions.conf and iax.conf from ACID. Anything I'm missing? Monty
