For those who are interested: We (Steve RoDgers and I) are currently working on new releases of the ACID and Limey Linux distros, as a pre-cursor to implementation of the new Allstar Link website and Portal system. Our beta testing of the new site is pretty much over, so it should be coming fairly soon. We have to complete the new releases of the distros, change some of the wording on the beta site to be appropriate for the 'real' site, upgrade the server (poor thing, its only a P4 at 2.4 Ghz with 1GB of RAM), and port the data. Your existing installations will work just fine with the new system, with a slight modification to how your system registers (actually its simply a matter of removing the 'A' from in front of the node name in the iax.conf registration line(s), but dont do it until the new system is up). All this info will be readily available from the main page of the new site. Just thought you all would like to know. JIM WB6NIL

I have two D510MO running the Centos ACID install - seems to work OK. The '510s are in Morex 5677 boxes with SSD's and power supplies from 12 VDC. I noticed two things: It seems like the fans want to run at the boot-up speed (default=50%). With the BIOS at the default value, the box gets warm to the touch. If you go into the BIOS and select 100% speed for the fans, the box runs nice and cool. I do not know if the fan would speed up eventually when things get hot - but why wait for that? These are very quiet fans even at full speed. The P/S In the Morex box is arranged so that the big 20-pin plug largely obstructs one of the fans. Since it is an exhaust fan, maybe this does not matter much. But it is really easy to rotate the P/S board 180 degrees and this seems to result in less obstruction of the fans. Final touch is to put some black tape on the vent holes next to the fans so that most of the air has to come from the other side of the box, rather than taking a short cut. Ken KE2N

Internet connectivity loss caused asterisk crash?
by Neil Addis (WA5JXY) 03 Aug '10

I have two Allstar nodes running (each on separate boxes) at a remote site with internet connectivity. All was working great then a storm passed and the little linksys switch hung in a wierd state. No traffic in/out to the internet however the two pc's were still talking and linked. The repeaters were still functioning, but obviously no linking to the outside world. Then about two weeks later, both pc's quit repeating and had no response to any dtmf commands. I figured I lost the UPS (only common item other than the switch). Finally made a trip to the site and found the UPS was ok as were both pc's. The URI's were NOT flashing, indicating asterisk had crashed. I didn't take a monitor with me, only a laptop so I didn't see what was on the screen before I rebooted them. After a reboot (and replacing the fried ethernet switch) everything came back up. So, my question is, would loss of internet for an extended time cause CentOS (or Asterisk) to crash? Were can I probe around in the logs (if any) to try and find out what happened? Thanks in advance.... Neil

CLI (Command Line Interface)
by Craig Hastings 26 Jul '10

Does anyone have a list of Command line interface stuff specifically how to control the node from the command line. I am guessing this would be from the 'asterisk -r' command line. Say a Link is Up and I want to take it down or put up a link from the command line, I hunted around and didn't find anything on it, sorry if its posted already somewhere however I have only looked a few months back in the archives. Thanks. Craig VA3DTF VE3WOM-L echolink & allstar

Re: [App_rpt-users] Problems running Echolink

Hello Eric, I did not see anyone answer you, I had this problem as well. you need to update your echolink.conf file I put these servers in and remove the ones you have now. server1=naeast.echolink.org server2=nasouth.echolink.org server3=servers.echolink.org The default servers don't resolve correctly and you should point at the ones closest to you, You can also get away with using only the closest one to you which would keep down on the traffic I think. NA east is the closest server to us. Hope this helps.
