Disconnect a local node
by ARS W5OMR 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

So, I travel. A lot. Im a hotshot driver, delivering coast to coast and border to border. The yl (of 7 years) works a weird mix of day and night shifts. The times when she and I are awake, I try to spend time with her and the family via radio. Me on echolink, her on a local rig on the side stand next to her recliner. I have a back yard repeater up (Motorola R100) a URIx, and connect to a RPi3B. I have echolink pointing to the main node in rpt.conf. What I would like to do is disconnect the repeater from asterisk/allstar but leave echolink up and use allstar to connect elsewhere, without the radio interrupting her sleep, due to unknown schedule changes. So, recap... I want to be able to 1) leave allstar running 2) turn the repeater on/off 3) connect on echolink and have the node connected to somewhere else. I just want to be able to turn on/off information getting passed on the local repeater, connected to allstar. I'm *thinking* I could add a couple of nodes, make 29655 the 'main' node, then a private node for the repeater and another for echolink. That way, 29655 will be connected elsewhere, I can connect to it via echolink, and the repeater wont be connected, until I send the command (via an ssh phone app).

Connection Failed
by Shannon Mossman 30 May '19

30 May '19

I run Allstar/Echolink on Rasberry Pi, Current version - RPi2-3 Asterisk 1.4.23-pre.hamvoip-V1.5.3-54-app_rpt-0.327-04/28/2019. I am unable to connect to any Allstar node outside of my own 48948/ 48949/49465. I'm not sure when the problem started since, I generally only connect to myself via Supermon on DV-Switch (IAXRPT). I have connected to nodes in the last month or so. so it is fairly recent. It has been working fine, I didn't change anything other than running an update today (ain't broke..) which did not correct the problem.. I checked everything I can think of. Router ports forwarded (I did get a new router a couple of months ago). Since I can connect to my own nodes, but none outside, I suspected that, but all seems in order. Echolink is on the same server and works fine..

ASL and DVSwitch package repositories moving today
by Steve Zingman 28 May '19

28 May '19

The ASL and DVSwitch repositories are moving to a new IP address. The FQDN of dvswitch.org will point to the new IP as of 12:00 ET today. Nothing SHOULD have to be changed by a user since all pointers to the repository SHOULD be FQDN. The new IP is 44.103.34.4. For those that care, the North America P25, NXDN and YSF reflectors are included in the move. 73, Steve N4IRS

echolink
by Len Griffin 27 May '19

Is there a way to allow tail messages to be heard by an echolink user? I was listening to a conversation between a repeater user and an echolink user. Our meeting announcement began to play, and the echolink user heard 20 seconds of silence and had no idea why.

Re: [App_rpt-users] ECHOLINK

As suggested, I tried setting echolinkdefault = 3, and restarted asterisk. This allows echolink users to hear telemetry, but not the tail messages. I didn't think tailmessages were considered telemetry.

by David Waters 24 May '19

24 May '19

HiI recently switched to a different intetnet provider. The modem I am using only has one ethernet output. My tp link wifi is using that port.I tryed plugging my node into the hub built into the wifi router but it will not work that way. It wont connect to internet.My olf internet system had a ethernet hub built into the cable modem. the node would work that way. The new way going through the tp link routerI and not even use putty to access the node to make adjustments. The ip address from the tp link that was assigned to my node was 174.59.131.140i also use an app called zoiper on my phone it will not register withis this ip address, i am stumped and my node is down until i can figure how to connect to internet,any help woulg be appreciated. ptherwise the node is just junk to me.

Allowing users to send DTMF commands to my node.
by Matthew Simmons 20 May '19

20 May '19

What do I need to enable so that users can send DTMF commands to my node? I've got a custom DTMF function set up (*85) which runs a script. I would like for users to be able to run this function via DTMF with either their radio or from a supermon page. -KM6TOA

Allstar 'Answering Machine'
by Matthew Simmons 20 May '19

20 May '19

My goal is to create a simple 'answering machine' for my allstar node. I would like for a user to be able to connect to my node and enter a DTMF command that would then cause the node to record the very next transmission and store it to a folder on a mounted volume on the PI. I have looked into using the built-in recording feature via *'**archivedir' *. Howver I am not sure how to control it so that it will start and stop recording. So my question is this. Is there a simple way to tell the node to record the next transmission, save it, and then stop recording? I am hoping this could be done via a script which could be called by app rpt via a dtmf command. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 73, KM6TOA

Thanks for this - looks nice. Still waiting on confirmation email - from initial sign-up (20+ min ago?), and "send again". It's not going to spam. Wait longer?

The site URL is https://community.allstarlink.org. It is up and ready for use. Our new community is easy to use, yet it has many features. It takes a while to discover all of them. Just a few are listed here to get you started. You should login with the email address you use on the app_rpt-users list. If you want to use another email address that?s fine of course, but your old posts from app_rpt-users won?t be attributed to you. No login is required to browse or search the site. The app_rpt-users archives going back to 2005 have been imported. You can easily search for old posts right within the community. In fact, as you compose a new post, community will automatically search for and show you like posts. That might show you an old post from years ago that may help answer your question even before you post. Community.allstarlink.org is both an email list and a modern secure community style bulletin board. You may use it by email only, just on the web site or some combination of both. You may choose from a myriad of notifications options including no email or all the way up to receiving every post or a digest. You may unsubscribe from any topic (thread) and still remain on the list. If there is a discussion you don?t care about you can easily ignore the entire topic. The default notifications work great so run with those until you become more familiar with the system. Posts are organized in chronological order from the oldest to the newest. It remembers what you read and will drop you into a topic where you left off. There is a trust system to increase your privileges and present awards as you use the community. We would like community to become the place to discuss all things AllStar related. But no one is forced to move and the app_rpt-users email list will continue into the foreseeable future. We will occasionally import new posts from there so you?ll be able to track any remaining activity. Click the hamburger menu (3 bars on upper right) to read the FAQ and to see other options and settings. Click the avatar to see your profile, bookmarks and private messages. So dig in, start learning and have fun. Be sure to pass along any thoughts, questions or suggestions. 73 from the AllStarLink Team.
