ACID Install - "Asterisk died with Code 1"
by Randy Neals 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Hi all, -Fresh ACID install on a PC (Intel Core 2 - 2.2GHz / 4GB / 60GB SSD) -Config prepared on portal and system configured via set up script. -3 URIx on system System came up, and started spitting out "mpg123: no process killed" "Asterisk died with code 1" "Automatically restarting Asterisk" I searched the list, saw what other people have tried and worked through that. -Checked the config files with the ACID Systems Admin guide as reference. -Re-made Askterisk -Re-made Zaptel Worked on it for a couple of hours tried rebooting several times. Finally, as I was writing this e-mail, the allstar PC had been running for 5-10 minutes and has decided to start working. Error messages have stopped scrolling and the green LED on the URIs is now pulsing on all 3 URIs. Is this normal operation? Is there something else I can do to resolve this? Thanks, Randy W3RWN / VE3RWN

Well it looks like the modified USB fob was defective or not quite compatible. ***Anyone want to buy some 100 watt 440 to 470 MHz Tait Repeaters?

ID Interval on Asterisk
by Keith Goobie 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Good day all. I have my asterisk configuration connected to a RLC-DSP404 controller. The controller does a fine job of iding in cw. I would like to disable it in the asterisk rpt.conf file. No need for two iders. Is it as simple as commenting out the idrecording line. Or I could set the idtime to a very long time and have it very seldom id. Comments or suggestions welcome.

Problem with a Two Node Configuration.
by Keith Goobie 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi All A colleague VA3SD built a standalone node on an Acid based platform, the node he was assigned is 27211. The associated callsign is VE3UOR. WE needed to add a second node, so I subscribed and was given node number 29133. The repeater callsign is VE3LSR and my profile is established as VA3YC. I followed the guidance from the internet regarding the creation of two nodes on the same ACID platform. The resulting configuration more or less works. Here are the issues I am seeing: > > 1. Both nodes show up on the nodelist page. You can do a successful drill > down on detail for the VE3LSR/29133 node, but it is not possible on the > VE3UOR/27211 node. > 2. You can successfully connect from the VE3UOR node to the VE3LSR node but > not vice versa. Thoughts or guidance will be much appreciated.

Echoink and what sound like extreme packet
by K & R Yoksh 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi Buddy, Our VOIP group is dealing with some of the same issues all of the sudden. One thing we've noticed is quite a few DTMF false decodes. As you know, app_rpt mutes the DTMF tones from going out over the VOIP side, so DTMF falsing can sound like packet loss to remote stations. I suggest watching the CLI during your transmissions, and keep an eye out for falsing.. This may not be the entire problem, but perhaps a part of it. I followed the directions from an earlier post (Jan 2012), with good results. No more false decodes AFAIK: http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2012-January/003909.html 73 Kyle K0KN Olathe, KS --- Original Message --- Howdy, Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the following. Sounds like a bandwidth issue, but I really don't believe it is, if for no other reason than nothing else seems affected, including a VOIP phone (believe me, I'd hear about it if the VOIP phone was doing this). Besides, I should have up to 5MBPS upload speed, which in real terms is likely less, but not so much less as to explain this. If I'm connected to more than two Echolink stations, my outbound audio, though not inbound audio, loses lots of data. Dropped syllables, unintelligible audio (because of many many dropped syllables), words run together, in other words, typical extreme packet loss. Not just a degradation of audio quality. I don't know if the same occurs if I'm connected to several Allstar nodes, although I'm game to test that if anyone feels like it. I'm certainly not opposed to the idea that it's a bandwidth problem, but I'd find this hard to believe, simply because there's no problem with the VOIP phone. That isn't running throughout the Asterisk box, BTW, completely separate. Definitely a puzzler though. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY
