You don't have seal's IP in the proxy settings in your server config in the > portal. Fix that and it should work. > > > You are correct grand poobah! (That and my fat-fingered typo in the extensions.conf) I neglected to remove the <..> brackets after a copy/paste. Everything working now. Many thanks for your help! 73 Neil

Motorola TRC
by N6GKJ Land 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

It's been awhile since I posted here. I have a question about the "Motorola Tone Remote Control", (i.e.) 2175 hz + 1950 hz + 2175 hz(low level gaurd tone) Protocol used in Motorola base stations and repeaters. I am wondering if anyone has written a channel driver for it? If not then I can look into it. I am thinking the remote base code could be modified. That would give us the ability to control XTL5000 and Astro Spectra base stations in 4 wire mode. It's easy to connect a base station through ACC port 2 for audio and ptt but there is no provision there for channel selection. TRC would give us 8 channels selectable Eventually maybe a DRC (digital remote control) channel driver could be written too. I am not really the best programmer in the world, but I do know how to manage and run a development team. The TRC is fairly straight forward. The DRC will take some work but could be done. Any thoughts? Ron Simpson N6GKJ

Way to use VPN to route IP packets into AT&T hotspot
by Anthony Percy 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

Hi there, I had the same problem in Australia with a local Telco hotspot in that the Telco only allowed outbound IP connections and its global firewall prevented inbound IP connections… As suggested, one way around this would be to connect the hotspot via a secure IP tunnel to a host that does allow inbound connections. e.g hotspot <——> host SSH/VPN server <—> Internet One suggestion, would be to use say the smallest Amazon lightsail host (@$USD 3.50 per month) and set that up as a SSH tunnel server or SoftEther VPN server. I suggest the SoftEther VPN server as they have a free DNS service for any SoftEther VPN server but SSH tunnel would do if you didn’t need the fixed DNS name. Then you would be able to receive inbound IP on Allstar via the Amazon lightsail host… It would look like this, Allstar<—>Hotspot<—>SSH/SoftEther VPN tunnel<—> Amazon lightsail host with SSH/SoftEther setup<—>Internet. You would need to configure some IP routes & NAT on the Amazon lightsail host but the SoftEther configuration tools would make that a bit easier… But if you like command line tools then setting up a SSH tunnel instead would work ok as well. I have been running SoftEther VPN on a PC Audrino for the last 6 months as the main VPN access server for VK5RDM repeater system and its been rock sold so far!

Thanks for the info Brian! I'm pretty sure I have my files edited correctly, however I am getting the following error(s) at the CLI; Warning: Chan_iax2.c:10127 iax_do_register: REGISTER-LOG: registry rerequest Warning: Chan_iax2.c:7690 iax_do_register: REGISTER-LOG: registry rerequest I cannot make or receive connections to any other node. I have the correct node password, as well as setting the IAX port in my admin page on Allstarlink. I have waited some time but still getting that error. (This is going through a Verizon hotspot). I've tried 4569 as well as 4567 This is for my node 27051 Thanks in advance! Neil W7FED

Help with OSS Programming and OS Tuning for ASL Pi Beta Development
by Marshall Oldham 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Greetings, Last week we asked for volunteers to help Beta test an ASL image for the Raspberry Pi. Several folks agreed to help test out and a few problems were discovered. One of these issues is with the transmit audio played through the USB sound fob in Asterisk. Every once in awhile there are very small gaps in the audio. We think it has something to do with OS timing issues or the ASL channel driver being used. We are looking for folks to volunteer and help figure out this problem. You will need experience with the Open Sound System (OSS), C programming, and tuning the Linux OS for audio. If you are interested and can he please send me an email at: ke6pcv(a)gmail.com 73 Marshall - ke6pcv
