reason for lockup
by Don Russell 20 Apr '10

asterisk would load up to iax2 then hang and consume >90% cpu and be stuck. commenting out iax2 would allow to continue but without network capability. the astdb file was the culpret, way too big. flushed, and now asterisk working fine.... Just fyi Thanks Jim! -- Don Russell, CBRE Director of IT/Chief Operator - Maverick Media W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist Winnebago County AEC http://www.socialengineer.us --

stuck loading asterisk
by Don Russell 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

I have seen this before, jog my memory please... Asterisk loads part way and gets stuck in the loading of chan_iax2.so. If i noload iax2 everything works. asterisk process is hung, can't ctrl-c, consumes 100% cpu can kill -9 asterisk. All I did was reboot to try out a new kernel. I did recompile zaptel and modules loaded. rebooting into old kernel has same result. internet connectivity is fine, dns is fine. I have seen it do this and just don't remember the fix. -- Don Russell, CBRE Director of IT/Chief Operator - Maverick Media W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist Winnebago County AEC http://www.socialengineer.us --

Using a Davis Weather Monitor With Asterisk
by Brian Williams 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi All, In looking at the rpt.conf file I noticed some lines that refer to Wind speed and Temperature. and the Data Ackquisition I have a Davis weather station with serial output, that was connected to a cat250 and would like to use it with asterisk system and be able to access wind speed, direction and outside temperature with a DTMF command. Has anybody done this? and what is the steps? Thanks, Brian N5TZV

Interfacing AllStar node to existing system over LAN
by Tony Langdon, VK3JED 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

I'm in the process of resurrecting my AllStar node, which has been down for an extended period of time. I have installed ACID and put my old registration data into the setup script. The system is showing as registered on the allstar.org status page, so it looks like that phase has worked. Now, the next (and more difficult phase) comes. For a variety of technical and cosmetic reasons, I would like to interface the AllStar system to a highly modified EchoIRLP node (it runs thelinkbox in a unique configuration), and have the EchoIRLP node and the AllStar node share status information, so I can implement interlocks (i.e. when IRLP or Echolink is busy, lock out AllStar, and vice-versa). While I can hack this on thelinkbox side, by de-linking the AllStar port (in tlb) when there's other traffic, this is an ugly hack that puts AllStar at a major disadvantage. What I need to know are: 1. Is there any event that is generated when an AllStar node connects or disconnects, that can be used to call an external shell script? 2. Is it possible to set an AllStar node as "busy" on the fly? 3. Can chan_irlp or chan_echolink be used to make outbound connections without being a part of the IRLP or Echolink networks respectively? I'd need to use one of these methods to make the audio link across the LAN. The old chan_rtpdir was quite good for this style of operation, though it was GSM only. Running app_rpt on the same machine is not feasible at this time. It has been tried in the past and caused major grief - need some serious hardware upgrades, but that in turn needs some planning. Also, if I can resolve (1) and (2), this would go a _long_ way to making app_rpt/AllStar more acceptable to the IRLP community, by bringing it into line with IRLP policies. I feel this would in turn be a good thing for app_rpt and AllStar overall. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Asterisk conference on 64 bit CentOS?
by Tony Langdon, VK3JED 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Is anyone running Asterisk/app_rpt on a 64 bit platform? Can this be done with good results? I'm asking, as I would like to setup a conference hub on AllStar, but the machine this would be running on is 64 bit CentOS 5, which is running under Xen. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Fw: intermittent problem, TX hangs up
by Kyle Whitney 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Wanted to let people know what the fix was. I was using a dell 1521 laptop. I switched it out with an old IBM T-22 and now everything works fine. I don't know if app_rpt does not get along with AMD 64 bit processors or what.... but it works excellent now. Thanks, Kyle --- On Thu, 4/8/10, Kyle Whitney <kc0voe(a)yahoo.com> wrote: From: Kyle Whitney <kc0voe(a)yahoo.com> Subject: intermittent problem, TX hangs up To: app_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com Date: Thursday, April 8, 2010, 7:00 PM Hello all! I am a new user of the app_rpt. I have been having an issue where the repeater will stay keyed until it times out. This usually happens after a transmission, it will stay keyed up until the timeout in the gm300 shuts it down and yet others its like a reeeeealy long squelch tail (about a minute to 1.5) during this time it will pass no audio. I wanted to ask if this has happened to anyone else? what did you do to fix it? Thanks, Kyle

new user advice
by Little Denver 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

I'm new to ham radio and would like to build one of these to demo for our club. we are looking at using the ACID installation with the dmkeng URI interface. our question is about the radio. On the URI site it list's out using a frs or gms radio. Does this mean that i can use my Yaesu FT-60 as the simplex repeater? basically following the wiring schematic at http://www.dmkeng.com/images/9080-FRS.pdf <http://www.dmkeng.com/images/9080-FRS.pdf>again i am just wanting to demo this to our club, i understand that in a production environment this is not the recommend solution. i am just wanting to demo the aspects and flexibility and hope to have the club invest into a real production system. also i dont want to take apart my HT, i would prefer to just plug it into the PTT/Data cable port. -- Thanks & 73, Denver Little KF5EFG

I have Iaxrpt talking to my node at home. How can I use the DTMF to send commands to the program? I probably just need a Beginners 101 tutorial... Thanks, Tony
