latitude and longitude
by Jim Duuuude 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

I think I have finally found the culprits that have been causing very strange problems with the Server latitude and longitude being reversed in some cases. Most of the entries were actually reversed in the database. I ran an automated script which fixed the obvious ones (like ones with latitude out of range), but there are some stations on the East Coast of the USA that are still reversed. Please check your lat/long and if its backwards or wrong, please fix it. Thanks JIM WB6NIL

Further info: The affected node 2379's URI is off but the other URI on the other node 2416 was still on and flashing. If the Bios and/or Centos is shutting off the USB port then why doesn't it shut off the other node too? I have other boxes with single nodes that this never happens. I have built 2 other boxes with 3 nodes and 4 nodes, all of which are using URIs and this doesn't seem to happen. I thought I went through all the bios settings to make sure nothing goes to sleep. This has happened on 2 different pcs with a dual node config. Jon The URI appears to be off with no lights on when this happens.

node stops talking to URI
by REDBUTTON_CTRL 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hi All, I have been having this problem for quire some time. I have a server box that has 2 nodes on it with URIs. The first node is 2379 (USB0) and the second is 2416 (USB1). The problem is the first node seems to stop talking to the URI randomly. The computer says its still connected to the URI but the URI wont key the radio nor any RX audio comes through when this happens. Asterisk reports the 2 nodes connected internally when its in this faild mode and I can get audio from the second node 2416 if I am connected to 2379 with an other node but no audio is transmitted out on 2379. The 2 nodes are simplex nodes. These 2 nodes create a link bridge to connect 2 repeaters together. I normally have a start up macro to connect the 2 nodes and its a perm link. When the first node stops talking to the URI the kink goes down between the 2 repeaters. We tried swapping the 2 URIs to see if the problem follows the URI but no it always happens on the first node 2379. The only way I know how to get it going again is to remotely reboot the box. Nothing else will get the node working again. The original box (p4 3 gig IBM) was set up the same way and the same thing was happening once every 2 to 3 weeks. Since then that original box died- ps failure so I rebuilt the box in July on an other machine (p4 3gig HP). Now we get the same failure but much more often. Now it happens on the average once aver 2 days and some times within 8 hours of a re boot! When I rebuilt the node I used the latest Acid cd at the time and re did all the conf files with the latest configs so no copying from the original backup files. So this is 2 different computers with 2 different builds with the same problem. Here's the node info : app Rpt version 0.255 These are migrated nodes. The URIs are original CM108 units. I did report this issue some time ago but nobody has any ideas as to whats going on. This time I knbow its got to be something in software on the first node. Sorry for the long post but this has been nagging me for some time and now its getting to the point that I have to reboot the box before nets to make sure its working and even then there is no guarantee it will stay connected. Thanks, Jon VA3RQ

Hello Everyone, I was looking through my echolink.conf and I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what the recfile= does? Is it like a welcome message? I have a few custom recordings and would like to do a welcome message when people connect via echolink. Thanks, Monty

The only time it has done it was twice today and only in monitor mode. I stayed connected to a friends node for the rest of the day and it didn't happen again. Tomorrow I will keep it in receive mode and see if it happens again.

Hi Guys, Could do with some help with some idea's if possible? I'd like to add a feature so people on the repeater can dial the console phone here on the TDM400P card. The idea is they dial say *9 and it goes to the TDM400P phone. If no answer after X amount of rings it diverts to voice mail. The voice mail is then sent to my email address. Wondering if anyone has any configs for this sort of thing already that I could have? I've also added a cheap C-Media CM-108 USB dongle to the system that I'd like to drop a scanner on. There's no need for PTT COS etc as it's only for RX only . I'm also wondering if anyone has or would like to start a node list for receive only devices like this. Similar to the PTT_Link nodes? I'm yet to get this USB dongle up on the Asterisk box but I'm sure it's only a config thing I have missed somewhere if someone is interested in looking at it for me?

To SSH to your machine from the outside world - i.e. to access it from another location, such as the office - you will need to know the public IP address of your internet connection and, additionally, you will need to have the port that is set-up for SSH (222 by default) forwarded to your Linux box. If your internet connection is assigned a dynamic IP address (and many are), then this will change each time you re-connect to the net. In this case, I recommend signing-up to one of the free Dynamic DNS services out there, then you will have a name (e.g. AllStarNode(a)dyndns.org) that you can use. There are also Dynamic Dns update clients (e.g. ddclient), that you install on your PC which will keep the dynamic DNS server updated with your address. Alternatively, many ADSL routers support automatic Dynamic DNS updates. It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty straightforward. To discover your present public IP address, type "curl whatismyip.org" at the console prompt. Bottom line is that the one thing that you don't actually need to access your Linux machine from the outside world is its own hostname :-) I hope that helps a little.

I am having trouble finding the Hostname/fqdn of my server. It's needed so I may remote/SSH using Putty. If I type Hostname at the command prompt I get the correct 1 word "hostname" but this it isn't enough I'm sure to remote SSH. app_rpt was installed using the ACID iso. What would I need to do?
