Hi Steve, Apart from the new scripts and the echolink bits is there anything super important over 119 or should one just wait for the next time? Cheers, John ZL4JY -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-bounces(a)lists.illiana.net [mailto:app_rpt-bounces@lists.illiana.net] On Behalf Of Stephen Rodgers Sent: Wednesday, 8 October 2008 08:36 To: Asterisk Repeater Controler Subject: Re: [App_rpt] New ACID version uploaded to dl.allstarlink.org James, A new ISO is not necessary, but all the scripts have drastically changed! astupd.sh depends on astinstall.sh in /etc/rc.d, and phase2.sh now calls astinstall.sh which is a common asterisk install script. There is a change to phase1.sh to remember where the download repository is located (acidrepo file), and everything keys off of this. So unless you want to figure out all the details of how the scripts work, your better off doing a fresh install! Just save all your conf files first so that you can re-install them over the default files after you run setup.sh and enable ssh access. Steve.

[App_rpt] Error on asterisk box
by Jon Rorke 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi All, I've been running a new node for week or so. The Box seems to work fine for a few hours , then an error occurs and the box is extremely slow to respond and can't recover. At this point it stops reporting too. It he CLI prompt this is the error reported: ERROR[5473]: chan_usbradio.c:1803 usbradio_read: HID process has died or something! The only way to get things going is to shut down the computer and reboot, then things are ok again for a few more hours. Any thoughts on what this might be? Is it a hardware failure or software? What I have done so far is to change the nic card - doesn't fix the problem. Moved the usb fob from the USB 2.0 PCI card to an internal usb port on the mother board - no change. Thinking of replacing hard drive and new fr4eash install with latest ACID CD. I'm not worried about this as its a new installation anyway. The box is a IBM P4 3Gig with 1 gig of mem.40 G drive. It is a referb unit so its not new. Thanks, Jon

[App_rpt] app_rpt on other than x86pc hardware
by Eric Fort 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Has app_rpt/(asterisk) ever been successfully compiled and run on non x86 hardware? The thought just came to mind that with the advent of the usb radio interface and the fact that asterisk is already running on some alternate firmwares for certain linksys (and other) consumer network devices that maybe one could inexpensively build an embeded node into such a device.

[App_rpt] ACID install
by Eric Fort 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Though ACID has been referenced before on this list, I don't remember it being defined (Allstar Centos Installation Disk). I'd always thought of the term in relation to databases. Is this then the preferred method of setting up a node? When giving notice that a new version is available please link to it: http://dl.allstarlink.org/. (ok my mailer truncated this in the original subject) Finally how does ACID compare to Limey Linux?

[App_rpt] Echolink_Channel
by Steve Zingman 05 Oct '08

Roger, Yes, it connects echolink to node 2151. To make a outgoing call use *33131002 to call me on echolink. *3 is connect to a node 3 says the following is a echolink node number 131002 is my node number. The echolink node number MUST be 6 digits. So a connect to echolink node 1234 would be: *33001234 Hope this helps. 73, Steve Roger F.

Rodger, The 'locate' command can be used to find it. It's in /usr/src/EVB/ast_base/asterisk-1.4.21.2/configs/rpt.conf.sample You're right that we should make an obvious link to it in the web based documentation 73, Steve On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 8:46 AM, Roger F.

Re: [App_rpt] hardware choices
by John Yaldwyn 04 Oct '08

Hi Eric, I'd suggest you consider the option of an upgrade to the PIII CPUs. It's not too hard to find the PIII 1000MHz slot 1 units around, but remember you'll need the 100MHz bus versions to suit your motherboard. These babies run on 1.75V but most motherboards made for the 500MHz PIII only went down to 1.8V. I've an nice IBM Netfinity 5000 server running here that I upgraded from dual 500MHz to dual 1000MHz CPUS running 50mV hot without problems for more than 3 years. YMMV. Is it worth doing? Kinda depends on the qualtity of your hardware, if they're not that well made then it might pay to look for something a bit nnewer. If you've got some nice server boxen then it can be worth while. Cheers, John ZL4JY ________________________________ From: app_rpt-bounces(a)lists.illiana.net [mailto:app_rpt-bounces@lists.illiana.net] On Behalf Of Eric Fort Sent: Saturday, 4 October 2008 18:24 To: Asterisk Repeater Controler Subject: [App_rpt] hardware choices I have 2 identical dual p3-500 boxen on which to run centos/*/app_rpt. Should I expect any problems running centos/*/app_rpt on these dual processor boxen? I'd expect one will support a quad radio port card and a tdm-400 with 3 green modules (possibly an arib board using 2 of those) and the other supporting a tdm400 card with 1 fxo and 1 fxs and sip termination to the pstn. this second box will also likely be the link by wihch the first sees the rest of the world. I do not forsee any other services running on these boxen. What can I expect from these as far as performance? what gotchas await me along the path to making this work? Thanks, Eric
