The color will be in the .css file. Look at allmon.css line 116: table.gridtable tr.rColor td { background-color: #8BA51A; color: white; } Update your node from the latest source to see the nodes move and color change. Stuff was added to the asterisk source for that. -- Tim :wq On Nov 10, 2012, at 6:47 AM, Jeff Carrier <k0jsc.jeff(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi Tim, Once again thank you for this! I love it! I'm curious if I did something wrong though. I don't see nodes being bumped to the top of the list and I don't see the color changing on a node that has multiple nodes connected. One other thing, is there somewhere in the code where I could change the color of the node recieving traffic to green and the ones transmitting to somthing like red?

But it wasn't ready yet and I'm not sure it is now. But here goes nothing... Allmon is a web site for managing one or more app_rpt Allstar nodes. Each managed local node shows a list of connected nodes. The list is sorted in reverse order of the most recently received node. So the lastnode to talk is always at the top of the list. Any node that is currently being received will be highlighted by a green background as well as moving to the top of the list. The node list is updated once a second giving near-real-time status. Allmon will also monitor VOTER clients. Each VOTER instance displays a list attached Radio Thin Client Modules (RTCM). The RSSI for each RTCM is displayed in bar graph style along with a color to indicate the currently voted RTCM.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Shane Morris" <edgecomberts(a)gmail.com> Date: 11/11/2012 5:56 AM Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] please please help To: "Eric Guth" <eric(a)efratnetworks.com> Hi Eric, I understand completely - the brain drain is alive and well in Australia too, let me assure you. I am probably one of five people in my local area of 20,000 people who know what I know, and certainly the only one who uses open source solutions. I can also understand your motivation with the "distributed nodes" - I personally would love to see such a system exist. I'm going to make a suggestion for you. I know there are Real Time Linux kernels available that would give you the deterministic timing needed to operate a RTCM alike system. However getting such a kernel to run on an RPi would be an uphill battle that I don't think anyone would enjoy. There are alternatives however, such as the excellent Cubieboard product I'm planning on buying for Christmas. This board is a 1GHz processor with HDMi and SATA as well as both audio in and out and 96 I/Os. But here's the kicker (and why I'm suggesting it) - the Allwinner A10 is a completely open source chip. That means that a compilation of a RT kernel would be a trivial exercise. None of this "Oh, our boot process is proprietary and you need to use a patched kernel" stuff that Ramesh, Jim and I run into with the RPi. I personally think its a load of bollocks to tell the truth. But hey, I don't own the company, I just use their products. Plenty of the "Consume and use, and don't ask questions" going on. Eric, the best part about the board, apart from the open source thing, is price: US$49. Ain't that a beauty? So $11 more than an RPi and its much more likely to do what you want. Fair deal to me. Www.cubieboard.org should get you out of trouble - they have a page on indiegogo too, I'm planning on getting two "Rich Packs" - one for myself and one for a good friend of mine who loves open source. Eric, I hope this helps - of course the benefits of adminning a familiar system and knowing your way around the software would make your distributed node effort a piece of cake. I am, of course, available should you need me, I've always wanted to play around with embedded real time, now I might have a chance and an impetuous. :) Thanks Eric, and best of luck on your efforts!

Re: [App_rpt-users] Autopatch operation on Allstarlink
by Pawlowski, Adam 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

I have the autopatch function working, except that our club router is terrible breaks this. I use les.net for VoIP termination, because they're cheap, and very flexible in how they can be setup. Just like with rpt/IAX, you must configure sip.conf with the correct parameters for your adapter. If you are using a machine with multiple adapters, you may have to specify an address but that may be more for inbound calls than outbound. I have a register statement to register to the remote proxy, since I have a dynamic IP address. Under this, I have a stanza to define that connection. The title of the stanza is going to be whatever you'd use to reference that connection with the SIP channel driver when placing a call. So, if it looks like [sip_provider] , when you place a call, you'd dial SIP/sip_provider so it knows what to do. I use g7.11 ulaw. I don't know what the audio from the USB fob is considered to the system, I would imagine it's PCM or something that it is transcoding, so whatever you choose, make sure it works with your provider. Extensions.conf needs to be edited as well if you're doing this with your own provider. You set the area code in the web portal, or, apparently it uses a global variable HOMENPA that's set at the top. If you are not in the US/Canada, you will probably not find this variable, nor most of the autopatch extensions, helpful. I can't really help you with the configuration there. By default, my rpt.conf listed "radio" as the context under my node stanza. As I mentioned in another mail, that's going to send everything to the check_route stanza that's right under the radio one in the extensions.conf . If you're getting the "the number you have dialed is not in service" message, this may be your culprit. It will absorb things that it doesn't consider formatted right or permissible to call. Otherwise, it goes back up to the top to the pstn-out stanza. That's going to look like this: exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial,SIP/sip_peer/${EXTEN} exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,2,Hangup This is going to take the properly formatted NANP number and dial it over that defined SIP peer. Then hangup once the call terminates from the provider. If you are using IAX2 you'd simply change that first step there to reflect that. That's all I did. You will need to make sure that 5060 UDP outbound works, as well as the ephemeral RTP range. If you have a more specific question I'd be willing to give it a shot but I'm not a digium pro.

Hi Eric, Yeah, I wasn't trying to be smart or anything, only guide Rich in the best possible way. I've been playing with it all for years, and *I'M* still learning =) I particularly enjoyed helping to get app_rpt working on the RaspberryPi (which reminds me, I have to email Ramesh and Jim) and I learned alot, and will continue to learn. Theres some really great people on this list, and I feel honoured to be a part of their number. Of course, thank you for accepting my inane questions too...! =D If we ever get off our learners permit, I guess that when they stop bringing out new ideas - loving AllMon! Good work guys! The other thing is, this is a volunteer effort, and together we stand, divided we fall. I know what I'd prefer. I'm probably re-iterating old ideas, but its important to focus on why something exists sometimes. I'm moving onto getting app_rpt working on a Cubieboard soon, when I pay indiegogo for two (one for my friend Carmel for her Christmas present), and then chan_voter. I want to get AllMon running too, I think it would be invaluable for testing and general operation of the network. If I can vote in my workshop, I'll be a happy man...! I'll keep the URI on the RaspberryPi, no need to hose that work, and in time, I'll provide my disk image for the community - I even hope to provide it back to the RPi community at large. Of course, if I'm saying anything here that doesn't sound right, pull me up, explain to me why it is so. But I reckon, if I can get a URI working on RPi then I can get a Cubieboard to run a vote director. If I can get it all running by October next year is the challenge...! =P Thanks for your kind words Eric, its nice to know that I've helped in some small way. Shane.
