XIPAR and 4xxxx node numbers
by Chuck Kraly 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Has anyone noticed if their version of XIPAR can connect to 4xxxx nodes without getting the "no irpl" channel notice? I thought it was working, and we created a new build and notice the message on trying to connect. Also I went and tried it on all of our nodes and no joy. XIPAR is at rev 275 (according to xiapl xipar-update) and Asterisk is at 1.4.44 -- Chuck K0XM Backyard Repeater Group k0xm(a)byrg.net

Dual PL Setup
by Jake Litwin 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

I'm looking for a way to be able to set up dual pl's so that one pl will just activate the local node repeater. If users wanted to talk to another node that is already connected to the local node, they would have to use a different pl. The idea here is that we just want to have the other node connected all of the time but don't necessarily want all of our local traffic passed on to it. We want to do this so we don't have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting the other node. The repeater is a Motorola GR1225 which already handles PL. XIPAR is running with a URI hooked up to the repeater. Any ideas on how this would be accomplished?

Steven, I think you are asking about hardware?

This represents months of trial and error testing which first started with the Raspberry Pi back at the beginning of the year and was finally successful on the BBB platform. We have had several beta versions out now for over two months with many testers and we had very good reports. There is more to be done but this is a working system that will allow many to get rid of their energy consuming PC's with constantly running hard drives and have an Allstar system that fits in the palm of your hand. The web page I have created gives very detailed instructions on how to download, install, and configure your BBB for use with Allstar. The web page is: hamvoip.org There you will find a link to download the image and also to join the arm-allstar email list. Please try to address questions specific to the BBB and Allstar to the arm-allstar list and not the apt-rpt list. While the code is the current Acid release there are many differences in how things are done on the BBB and the OS we are using, Arch Linux, is much different than Centos or Debian. Please refer to the web page for detailed info on some of the differences. We also recommend that you NOT use the nodesetup routine that is offered on the standard Acid release. In many ways this is faulty and often more trouble than it is worth. For that reason we have renamed nodesteup on the image and made it non-executable. Besides what is described on the web page there is a very detailed how-to describing first time setup of the config files. We encourage you to edit the existing config files rather than wholesale copying your existing configs on top of the examples. There is a little learning involved but in the long run it is good to know how things work by configuring the files on your own. We also encourage you to make image backups once you have your system configured. This will avoid having to recreate your configuration should a failure of some kind occur. While we have not seen any problems with power failures and as far as we know not one SD card has ever failed running Allstar there is always a first time and better safe than sorry. This release does not have the backup/restore scripts that we promised but they will be available soon. Basically what they will do is copy /etc/asterisk and all directories under it in entirety into a tar file and then you would use winscp or a similar file copy program to transfer the tar file to another computer. This would allow you to make updates of the image when new code is released in the future without losing your former configuration. For now you can do this manually. See the howto on the web page for instructions on doing image and directory backups. It is not hard to do and well worth the piece of mind. Have fun and I hope you enjoy your new BBB Allstar node. There will be many more features and upgrades available in the future all of which will be announced on the arm-allstar email list. There are already plenty of experienced users on the list that can help you with any problems you might have. 73 Doug, WA3DSP _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users To unsubscribe from this list please visit http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Re: [App_rpt-users] Cent OS Updating?

I'm using this as a script. In my users home directory is a directory called bin (/home/thor/bin) where I keep scripts. Each is made executable (chmod +x script_name). This one I run after any yum update. Call it what you like, I call it update_acid. This isn't entirely my creation, like all things open source, I borrowed from others, especially K0KN. Anyway, by making this an executable script you turn this into an almost painless process. #!/bin/bash #This first part downloads the latest ACID and unpacks it cd /usr/src rm -rf astsrc wget http://allstarlink.org/svn-trunk.tar.gz -O- | tar xzv #This next bit removes the radio_relax module from the code #But I don't remember why I do that mv trunk astsrc cd astsrc sed -i 's/MENUSELECT_CFLAGS=RADIO_RELAX LOADABLE_MODULES/MENUSELECT_CFLAGS=LOADABLE_MODULES/g' /usr/src/astsrc/asterisk/menuselect.makeopts #Compiles the code make upgrade-acid #This part whacks the zaptel drivers into submission. #Without it the newly upgraded ACID will not run cd /usr/src/astsrc/zaptel ./configure make make install make config cd modprobe zaptel service zaptel start service asterisk restart On 07/17/2014 02:55 AM, app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org wrote: > Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 22:58:52 -0700 > From: Tim Sawyer <tim.sawyer(a)mac.com> > To: David Osborn <david.osborn(a)manx.net> > Cc: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] App_rpt-users] Cent OS Updating? > Message-ID: <60568681-1080-4CFF-A99B-03BB9E276809(a)mac.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" > > Good idea.

RF repeater linking using Allstar
by Loren Tedford 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

I have seen many posts here about linking repeater via rf into all star I would like to do the same thing here where I live there is repeaters close by that I would like to link them into my repeater however it seems that my problem has come up with ensuring proper Id by the link radio. I need the radio to only ID when it transmit I have found so far that Duplex=0 does not work for this set up it stops all Id's all together I really don't need any telemetry data of other links connecting up to the repeater because this will add extra transmit time etc..Here is a sample of my rpt.conf file If some one would show me where i messed up that would be great remember this is a link not a repeater and the link is connected to a USB uri that is connected up to a VHF Motorola Maxtrac the radio has been programmed to specific frequencies I would like to use and pl tones applied.. So the goal here is to get the node to key up to the repeater give an id when there is traffic coming through the node not when traffic is received from the repeater.. So example problem with Duplex=1 repeater keys up with tones and ids but every 10 minutes the repeaters get into a repeater id war repeater ids then node ids which resets repeater timer and makes the repeater id then turns around and resets node timer and causes it to id...

Re: [App_rpt-users] App_rpt-users] Cent OS Updating?
by Thor Wiegman 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

My experience is exactly what Jim suggests, it kills the Zaptel modules. With the ACID distro what I end up doing is a complete update of the OS then I do a complete update and recompile of the SVN. Basically you: 1) Do all of your OS updates using yum. (Or, I use the tool in Webmin). 2) Update the ACID SVN using these steps: cd /usr/src rm -rf astsrc wget http://x.allstarlink.org/svn-trunk.tar.gz -O- | tar xzv mv trunk astsrc cd astsrc make upgrade-acid 3) Finally update Zaptel with these steps: cd /usr/src/astsrc/zaptel ./configure make make install make config modprobe zaptel service zaptel start service asterisk restart I have no idea if this is the "right" way to do all this. But I do know that it's working for me.

Transmitting Tone Sequences COP 48 No longer working

I had this feature setup a few months ago and everything seemed to work ok. I tried it today and it is no longer working. Where can I investigate the error log files to see what may have happened ? I use it to page a Motorola portable radio using Quick Call Paging. 887=cop,48,!2688.0/1000,!1130.5/3000 ; Send two tone paging sequence When I enter the code to transmit the signal, there is no tones produced. I have tried it with different radios as well as via the iaxRpt program.
