I have ordered a few of the Mini-ITX Desktop 1.8GHz iGoLogic from Andover Network Liquidators and am wondering how to transfer the CF image from the ftp site to the CF card. Can I boot linux from the USB and just dd to the /dev/hda device? I do not have any other CF devices. Thanks in advance. Jim, WA1SOT AllStarLink #2370 449.975 PL 71.9 Hudson NH USA

Re Perm links and power cycle
by Jon Rorke 22 Apr '09

Hi Guys, We just deployed a 2 nod box and had the 2 nodes connected as Perm links. The power was cycled on the box and the links became disconnected. Does Perm links only apply to external links? How can we haver internal links reconnect if power is cycled? Thanks, Jon VA3RQ

Server with AMD Proc
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 22 Apr '09

Hi Folks; I have a lead on a HP DL145 server, which I'm planning to use for a hub to link app_rpt, IRLP, D Star, etc.... The server has an AMD Opteron 2.4 (64-bit) proc in it.... just wondering whether the standard Allstar ISO (CENTOS 5.3) will run OK on this machine. Cheers! Ramesh.

Why can't you use the system app in the extension logic through the autopatch function as well?

Hi , Is there a way to get an APP-RPT box to generate and send DTMF strings out the usb URI interface? Thanks, Jon VA3RQ

If this is one of the Andover units off of Ebay, just use a small 13.8VDC to 120VAC inverter coupled to the Travala "fat snake" PSU which came with it. This will provide the isolated ground you need. If you are running on battery power, then this setup is preferred due to the issue in the second paragraph below. You can't hook 13.8V to directly to these Andover PC's as the power supply inside of them is only designed to accept 12V +/- 5%. Steve WA6ZFT > > Mark > > >

Igologic i3386g Mini-ITX CF boot and Power supply
by Mark Hergesheimer 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Is there a packaged image for the Igologic i3386g Mini-ITX booting from the CF card and using the URI that someone would be willing to share? If so where would I find it? (I'm new to the list) Steve had mentioned that the power supply for the IGoLogic i3386g Mini-ITX should have an isolated ground and I found that the once the power supply jack was unbolted from the case that the input ground was isolated from the PC grounds. Would this be enough isolation to defeat the ground loop problem? Mark

Permanent Links?
by AFA6VC 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi Everybody, Is there a timer which causes a "permanent" link to drop? I have two repeaters linked with a "permanent" link, however I notice it keeps dropping off randomly throughout the day. Not sure if there is a timer or something I need to look at. Any advice for keeping repeaters permanently linked is appreciated. Also, any comments on setting up jitter buffer are welcome. I have the jitter buffer set up on the IAX2 link in between the repeaters. Should I also set it up in the usbradio.conf file? Thanks, Vic
