Culling Linux Services (ACID)
by Michael Carey 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hi Everybody, In an effort to make node 27871 a lean, mean, fighting machine... I'm trying to keep things neat and tidy by stopping any services that have no direct impact on the operation of the node. I'm after input on what others have done on their own AllStarLink nodes. I have done a similar thing on my Icom G2 D-Star gateway... going through and disabling services (like bluetooth, VNC, smartcard, IPv6, etc). On a side note, has anyone found a definitive cause for the occasional motorboating/stuttering audio when an AllStarNode transmits? I have another machine that I can use, but I would like to know what causes it and how it can be eliminated or reduced. This is the only thing that has marred an otherwise perfect experience with my AllStarLink node. Michael. VK5ZEA

Dumb question, which I can't find in FAQ. It it possible to record the repeat output audio, from within app_rpt? GeorgeC w2DB George Csahanin Sent from my iPad

Re: [App_rpt-users] Multiple Echolink Nodes

> Secondly, *all* outbound connections from app_rpt originate from el0. This works beautifully for my purposes. I have 2 RF nodes and a hub node here.. To provide Echolink functionality for both nodes, I have Echolink connected to the hub node (2210). Outbound connections from either RF node work seamlessly. Inbound Echolink calls hit the hub node only, unless a RF node is specifically connected to the hub node. I'm able to avoid the Echolink "drive-by" connect/disconnects in this way. I can understand others wanting a different configuration, such as the multiple IP setup that Jeremy described, but hopefully the current configuration will also remain? Please don't "fix" this! hi hi 73. Kyle K0KN --- Original Message --- ok.. first of all, echolink protocol requires a one-on-one correspondence between node number and public IP address. The "multiple instance" architecture of chan_echolink is only for systems that have multiple public IP addresses on them. Secondly, *all* outbound connections from app_rpt originate from el0.

Multiple Echolink Nodes
by "Jeremy R. Geeo [KDØEAV]" 31 Jul '11

Does anybody have multiple Echolink channels running on the same machine?? I've defined both nodes in echolink.conf as [el0] and [el1] ... both of them register and show up in Echolink; but EVERY outbound connection originates from [el0] .... [el0] should be attached to node 27097 and [el1] should be attached to 27521; but when I to try establish an outbound connection from 27521 [el1] - 27097 [el0] connects. I'm running... rpt fun 27521 *33452514 and 27097 connects. ___ echolink.conf _____ [el0] ipaddr=208.110.93.103 confmode=no maxstns=100 call=*KD0EAV* pwd=************ name=Allstar Hub (27097) qth=Allstar Hub (27097) email=kd0eav(a)clear-sky.net rtcptimeout=10 node=424491 astnode=27097 context=radio-secure server1=server1.echolink.org server2=server3.echolink.org [el1] ipaddr=208.110.93.108 confmode=no call=KD0EAV-L pwd=*********** name=Allstar ast27521 qth=Allstar ast27521 email=kd0eav(a)clear-sky.net rtcptimeout=10 node=422327 astnode=27521 context=radio-secure server1=server1.echolink.org server2=server3.echolink.org permit=KD0EAV maxstns=1

the new version of chan_simpleusb has seemed to pass at least initial sanity checks, so I went ahead and checked it info SVN. It will be available after the public SVN update at 2015 PDT tonight. JIM WB6NIL

So now that I have the first set of nodes up on DSL circuits, I have remaining nodes / repeaters that I would like to include but do not have DSL circuits at these sites. The good news is that I do have private "intranet" circuits at each of these locations but of course they do not have capabilities of reaching the public internet. That's ok, because what I figured I could do is just have each of these talk to one of the sites that has both the public and private feeds and find some way to let these nodes do the interconnecting to the public side. I figure I could just add a second NIC card at the Margate node which has access to both the internet and intranet, tie the second NIC card to the intranet side and just have the other allstar boxes permanently attached to the node that has the public side working. These remaining sites are really in rural areas and they really don't need direct connections, but I guess I could always just use the *4 command if I needed to make a connections right? So I hope this I making sense because I really want to make this a reality.. Just will need some advice on how to add the second NIC and how to make the connections. I assume a few lines in the extention.conf file and a few fake node #s correct? The intranet network is made up of a netmask of 255.255.255.248 and each site has a router that talks to a central switch and allows all ports to pass through. Each site can talk to each other by the way if needed, but I figure just bringing the main communications back to the main node in Margate will be the best choice. So if anyone is up to the task to lend me a hand, I will appreciate it very much. Thanks and 73 Lu, KA4EPS

chan_simpleusb
by K&R Yoksh 30 Jul '11

Hello all, I thought I'd give chan_simpleusb a try again today. I thought I remembered reading the parallel port support had been added to chan_simpleusb? The parallel support didn't work, so I went digging through the archives, and found that it was "on the list" of planned improvments. I guess my question is, is it any easier on my P3/866 MHz Asterisk box to run one RF node on the standard chan_usbradio and one on chan_simpleusb? I currently have one modified CM108 fob, and one unmodified (using parallel port for ptt/cos). I've tried it both ways, while monitoring top, and it's not clear to me whether the PC is happier one way or the other. The audio "glitches" seem to have disappeared from the simple_usb node. Thanks for any assistance. 73. Kyle K0KN

Would the Kenwood TM-V7a operate in remote base capacity with app_rpt in place of the Kenwood G707a? Thanks. John / WB5NFC
