HP 5745T Thin Client success
by Ron Simpson 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hey guys! I finally have a semi stripped down version of ACID that boots from a flash drive and runs in a ram drive. Lot of work, a few scripts need some clean-up but otherwise it works. Node 27946 will be a mobile node. I have several of these Thin Clients so why not use them! They are a dual Atom Processor running at 1.66 Ghz and 2gb of ram expandable to 4gb. I got them cheap so it is an all around win! I will be happy to share my distro... should run on any machine. Thinking of putting a non-smp kernel on the drive just to give boot options... If enough people want to play with it, I will make it available Ron Simpson, N6GKJ CET Sr., FCC

custom commands
by Benjamin L. Naber 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

I was thinking about something. There is web forum that will allow you to post info about your node and ask questions which are there for everyone else to read when they are searching for a solution to an issue. I'd like to recommend to the group that node operators post (on the forum) their custom DTMF commands, what they do, and what file modifications are needed. The website is allstarnode.com. Currently there are not very folks on it, but the more we get, the better. Thank you, ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ allstar node 28569

telemetry
by Benjamin L. Naber 11 Apr '13

how to I make the telemetry announce when only when some one connects to my local node, or I make a connection? I do not want to hear when someone else connects to the node that mine is connected to. I know it's somewhere in rpt.conf, but I'm not sure what to add or change. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ allstar 28569

GM300 Cable pinout question
by Mike 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

I have decided to build an allstar node. Got the radio, got the account, got the URI, got the Linux box, got the software, now I have to build the cable and put it all together. But in looking at the cable description on the DMKeng site, I don't see any COS signal used. http://www.dmkeng.com/images/9080-GM300.pdf Isn't the COS from the radio needed to suppress transmitting dead autio over the network? I thought a COS signal was required. It's talked about as necessary but the signal isn't shown in the gm300 cable description. Anyone care to explain why this is not needed or when it is needed? And if it is needed, which pin on the 25 connector would it go to? Mike

Sequence of Install
by Mike 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

I've read the install instructions for ACID and they seem pretty straight forward, however, one of the first things they say is that I need a node number before I can complete the install. Ok, I went to allstarlink.org and changed my account from basic user to "System Operator". The instructions also say to record the node number and password. So far none sent. But I also noticed a Setup Wizzard. Do I run this setup wizard from any computer or does it have to be run from the computer that's hosting the server? (i.e. the Linux box) Probably a stupid question but I don't want to run any wizards until I know what system it can or should be run on. Mike

Using an external Controller
by Bob - AF6D 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

I know that there are so many features that I have yet to learn about. But there are many features available with my rc10. Is there any way that they may co-exist, even if using a repeater in between?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Using An External Controller
by Pawlowski, Adam 09 Apr '13

We are using a multiport controller, RLC-2, to control a couple of different repeaters. The app_rpt device is connected to one of the ports as a link, to provide services, so it's not really being used for much at the time being. I ran it on a laptop, and put it into the repeater rack. It promptly got hot and began taking HDD errors. With ACID/Linux it remounted the disc read only, and continued to operate for the next couple of weeks until I arrived without hosing anything up. App_rpt or asterisk itself has not ever caused an issue for me. If anything, choosing the right hardware makes the difference. Adam, KC2YQF

Funny, very funny.. Got it to go back online in less the 5 minute after a smart man gave me just a hint.. One thing my parents told me, if you cant help or say something usefull, keep what you want to say to you.. It helped me a few time, I know I should again keep this to myself, cause you surely wont be taking it as something usefull (but you really should).. But never less I’ll press send anyway..
