Getting to know App-Rpt all over again.

Folks, I succesfully installed ACID on to a HP T5720 Thinclient and got it running on a CF card( Ive Done that before and it run Flawlessly for about 10 months until the forced migration that is). I correctly set the portforwarding correctly for both Echolink and Asterisk. I uncommented the Stats reporting but its not showing up in stats.allstarlink.org same thing goes with Echolink, its not registering. Just for info, I am using a URI and it detects it and can be configure fine... Checked iax.conf and rpt.conf and all fine and dandy there too. What else could it be. I honestly would like to start from scratch meaning to wipe my account in allstarlink (Configuration) so I requested a new node number but still not registering in the system. Can you guys help?.. BTW i turned the system off to prevent any unwanted interference with the server in case its going nuts in the background.... So help is needed and much appreciated. Node number I had in the past was 2519 and also have the new 29382 -- Gracias y 73's Hasta la Vista KI6LNX YN1OB

You have exposed my rookiness! LOL. I am aware that a thin client hooked up acts like a controller. Fallback mode I guess. But I was under the impression that there are open conference servers, or that others may call our node if connected to the internet. I have much to learn. Our plan remains the same. We intend to link both MSF's on different mountain tops via our own server. I own the hosting company and have Tier 1 bandwidth at my beckon call. But we want to have our own phone patch and have a phone line at our data center. Both nodes are true public safety (ECS/ARES/SAR) and expenses come out of my wallet. It is my hope that there is a way to add a phone patch that doesn't cost us a recurring fee. With regards to our dedicated server I was under the impression that we could have our own private network, and, a public network for others to use. Giving back for fun and for free. But our phone patch would be for our exclusive use. We envision macros that will telephone specific numbers. I am Linux literate if I can create my own phone patch.

MSF 5000 Echo
by Bob - AF6D 03 Mar '13

Just like with a RC210 controller we are getting an echo when attaching the RTC. Some tell us "no way." Yes, way. Is there a trace that needs to be cut? A DIP setting or electronic pot? What is the recommended setup for a stock MSF5000 Limited? Bob - AF6D

Re: [App_rpt-users] Really need some advice here..

That's the class of machine I usually run Asterisk, AllStar, IRLP, and other similar stuff on. I pick them up cheap at the local surplus stores, they are lease returns from places that were running Windows XP on them. I have a handful of them in daily production use, mostly running the PBX in a Flash distribution of Asterisk. You only need a Gig of ram (maybe less) and a 40 gig hard drive is plenty. If it's going on a hill or other remote place, check the fans and hard drive carefully, and look for swollen capacitors on the mother board.

Ok I finnaly got the ok to switch everything from the rc-210 to app_rpt based controler. I eveb got a board with a dual amd cpu 2 gig ram ect.. Now Acid wont install no matter what I do. If I clear anything about APIC in the Bios that make a kernel panic at boot of the install dsik it will fail giving all sort of crash information for hours.. I got version 6.3 centos for x86_64 to run, but If I try to start phase1.sh so that the install script from acid try to load, it will tell me bad version of centos and stop.. Anyone can point me in a direction where to go from here? I am totally lost, but fast to catch up and learn. Pierre VE2PF Dude??? some help please?? ;-)

Yeah, you know with Jim being front and center here and kinda all things allstar, it's easy to forget the separation between church and state… :)… Sorry for the bandwidth, I dropped the contact emails a query on this topic.

Motorola Phone Patch
by Bob - AF6D 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

I am about to order my first Radio Thin Client and get a node up to start. Eventually we'll add our own server and share resources that I have. I had asked a question that I must have sent the wrong place. Our plan is two MSF 5000's linked, GPS locked and voted simulcast. We'll add remote receivers later. The question is regarding a Motorola phone patch. >From the reading that I've done phone patch is available with Asterisks somehow but I have one for the MSF. Can it be used or should I expect audio delays? Can it be used across both nodes or am I better off staying with Asterisks? I am going to the second mountain top today to prep for the second MSF and would like to do this right. I am the rookie but I have a very well experienced Elmer that hasn't used Allstar yet. Thank you in advance. Humbly, Bob

If you're migrating from IRLP, just use the IRLP board plus a $12 USB Fob. If starting from scratch, I guess most people use the DMK URI. 73, Kyle K0KN From: "Jamie A.
