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

Quad PCI Radio Card on DIAL
by Monty 01 Oct '18

01 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

Does ASL support the RPi 3 WiFi? If so, what do I need to know to set it up. I didn’t find any info on the wiki. Thanks, Bob K6ECM Sent from iPad

Group, Recent install of listed build. Asterisk GIT Version adaec47 built by root @ odroidxu4 on a armv7l │ running Linux on 2018-03-07 14:53:41 UTC The problem I have ran into is when setting TX voice to 3.0 kHz I get a skipping of the tone. it goes away above 3.3 khc and below 2.9 kHz. the RX appears to be normal across the nodes I have connected to and save as expected. I am using the Repeater- builder original RIM and where I has in previous version Dial of ASL installed for Raspberry pi the PL tone worked.out of TXmixB. Is something different ?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Error when upgrading

Mike, This node is working without any issues. The kernel headers are already set on hold. I've run the update and upgrade elevated to root and still see the error. I installed ASL on a pi-star image a year ago. I'm not too concerned if I can't upgrade ASL since I don't see any operational errors. I just wanted to report back the group the upgrade errors I am seeing.

I am trying to install OPenVPN On my rpi running debian stretch and a VPS with Ubuntu 15 . Everything I have found so far is riddled with errors and I am getting nowhere. Anyone have a good clear precise set of instructions they can point me to? Thanks

Hey gang Did Allstarlink ever get support for using serial devices for COR and PTT type duties? I know it was thought about in the past. Thanks Harold K7ILO
