Re: [App_rpt-users] No PL Tone

Just to be sure, are you transmitting a carrier and tone to the receiver when trying to set the levels? Make sure your using "flat" audio in your usbradio.conf settings, and have restarted asterisk after making that change.

Node seems registered and online but will not connect to other nodes..
by Loren Tedford 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

I have been helping out some one with an allstar node and it seems that the allstar network doesn't want to acknowledge the node.. I own 41715 so when this node tries to connect to me I get this error.. [Nov 4 21:07:20] WARNING[903]: app_rpt.c:22685 rpt_exec: Reported node 27890 cannot be found!! The node with the problem is 27890 however in stats.allstarlink.org it shows online.. At first i thought it could have been a dns issue so changed resolv.conf to 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 Anyone have any ideas on why a dial image fresh install of allstarlink would not report its self to the network.. rc.local looks like this.. /usr/local/bin/rc.updatenodelist & The /tmp file is empty which is rare.. root@SkyPup-1:/tmp# cat /etc/asterisk/dnsmgr.conf [general] enable=yes ; enable creation of managed DNS lookups ; default is 'no' refreshinterval=300 ; refresh managed DNS lookups every <n> seconds ; default is 300 (5 minutes) root@SkyPup-1:/tmp# Anyone have a clue why this node seems to be failing to update the other node lists.

I created a video on how to install allstarlink and set it up..
by Loren Tedford 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

I decided that I would create another video on how to install allstarlink and set it up with the fancy allmon2 and iaxrpt for windows. I know the video is long and drawn out... But if you think about it their is a ton of steps to setting up and running an allstar node.. I hope you all enjoy and are able to help others with this tutorial after all that's why it was created.. Here is a link to the forum page where video is provided. http://forum.voipham.com/index.php/topic,26.msg30.html#msg3 <http://forum.voipham.com/index.php/topic,26.msg30.html#msg30> Greetings I have been asked several times of the past few weeks to make a demonstration on how to install allstarlink on the pc platform.. Here is a video on the basics Instructions tutorial listed below.. First you want to download the current version of Dial from allstarlink.org Next you want to either burn that to a cd or usb by your preferred method.. Now you will need to setup your nod from allstarlink.. In order to do this you will need to request a node and create a server in the allstarlink panel. After doing that you will be assigned a node number and then you can begin the process of installation of your dial machine.. Insert CD boot from CD or USB which ever media your prefer then Hit enter on the first selected installation process.. Warning this will remove every thing on that hard drive be sure you have backed up your system prior to doing this.. You will want to ensure that your pc is plugged into the internet because it is a live installation meaning it pulls the installation files from the internet rather than the disk.. After installation is compete most pc shut down.. please remove your installation media and start back up the pc.. After a restart it will boot to a log in screen Username is: root Password is: debian Follow the on screen steps as provided in the video.. Also make sure you pick a strong password.. Now for customized installation of allmon2 and htop unzip and other tools needed.. Code: [Select] apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt htop unzip Now to Download allmon 2 change directory to allmon2 example /var/www/allmon2 if allmon2 does not exist create the directory like this Code: [Select] mkdir allmon2 Example commands Code: [Select] cd /var/www/ mkdir allmon2 cd allmon2 Code: [Select] wget [url= https://github.com/tsawyer/allmon2/archive/master.zip]https://github.com/ts… ] Here is the detailed directions on installation of allmon2. http://forum.voipham.com/index.php/topic,25.0.html Follow the video for detailed instructions on this and iaxrpt.. http://forum.voipham.com/index.php/topic,24.0.html For telemetry issues i use this command in rpt.conf Just before the statistics reporting line.. I put Code: [Select] telemdefault=2 This allows telemetry only after you command your node for about 2 minutes then it doesn't use telemetry until you command your node again.. Hope this helps some of you!

by ssedgwick 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

Hi all, I tried a couple time today to configure my node via the Allstar web portal. Basically all I want to do was change my node radio configuration from a simplex node to a simplex with courtesy tones node. I tried several time and got the following message each time Sat Oct 29 21:24:08 CDT 2016 config: unable to download and implement portal config Any idea what I could be doing wrong or have misconfigured? Thanks, 73 Steve_WB8GRS

DIAL and radio-tune-menu
by Joe Bennett 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Just got dial up and running with a Pi3. Initial setup looks good and it has registered with the Allstar network. Now I'm trying to use the radio-tune-menu command but all I get is this: root@repeater:/etc/asterisk# radio-tune-menu Error parsing device parameters root@repeater:/etc/asterisk# I've checked that the rpt.conf and the usbradio.conf files are aligned in what the USB device (URI) is called (usb28073): rpt.conf: [28073] ; Change this to your assigned node number rxchannel = radio/usb28073 ; Rx audio/signalling channel usbradio.conf: [general] [usb28073] eeprom = 0 ; EEPROM installed: 0,1 ; 0 = no (default) ; 1 = yes What am I missing??? -Joe KA3NAM

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.

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.

odd connectivity problem
by George Csahanin 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Two nodes I normally are connecting to are not in the online list, nor are they in the rpt_extnodes file. The older online node list does show them and a bubble graph showing them connected, as usual. I started to poke around when I saw my usual connection to one of them was not possible. Got no "connection failed" but telemetry was silent, nothing. I can connect to any other nodes though. So the question is, if the software is updating the allstar server, what would make it not show in rpt_extnodes or the master node list with green shading, but does show in the online node list. Remembering back I had static entries for the one I'd normally connect to in rpt.conf, but guessing his ISP changed his address. Anybody? -- George Csahanin Toms River, NJ 08753 http://dyb.com

Node connection via cellular modem and OpenVPN anyone?
by Matt Beasant 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Hi all, I need to run a node over a cellular data connection and have managed to get hold of a couple of Teltonika RUT105 3G modems: http://www.4gon.co.uk/teltonika-rut105-p-5010.html These devices support OpenVPN and I was wondering if it might be possible to use this to tunnel to one of my other Allstar nodes that has a regular Internet connection with a public IP address (in fact one of the sites has multiple public IP's available). Has anyone ever done anything like this and could give me a few clues as to how I proceed? I'm assuming that the node at the end of the tunnel will need two ethernet ports, one for the connection from the 3G modem to come in on and another with a different public IP for the cellular connected node to be able to use. Does this sound feasible? I'd appreciate any help anyone can give as I'm not at all sure how to go about configuring OpenVPN to do this having never used it before! Many thanks, Matt G4RKY
