When you load dial, I believe the default config files are setup for Chan simple USB and so on. You download the config files from the Allstar portal via the download script, if you have them configured there, or you can do as I chose. I just copied all the backed up configs from the old node asterisk directory. Actually all I copied was rpt.conf, Iax.conf, extensions.conf and USBradio.conf and the usb radio tune file for the node. Then I edited the modules.conf file to tell the node to use USB radio instead of Simple usb. reboot and go. Done! Jon VA3RQ On 12/6/2015 10:15 AM, Angelo wrote:
Hi Steve,
I was able to rerun the two scripts firsttime and nodesetup and was able to get this rpt.conf and other files converted.
It would be nice for the people that have copies of their rpt.conf and etc, to be able to put them in a directory and the help script would modify them and put them in the etc/asterisk directory for you. As you know, most ops put alot of cop codes and it would make it easier.
Thanks for all your help!
Happy Holidays,
Angelo

Angelo, If all you want to do is move your config files from ACID to DIAL, You should not need a script. Depending on your radio interface, you may not have to do anything. If you want to use the rpt config that comes with DIAL, it should not be hard to put your data into it. Tell us more about your ACID install.

So, if i understand you correctly, you must download the config files from the web portal to be able to take advantage of the help scripts to convert the files???
Thanks,

Hi All,
I just switched over to DIAL here at home and was going over all the changes in the RPT, and several other config files. I also did a search in the archives and found this email.
Where are the helper scripts for convert the files from ACID to DIAL??? I woud love to get my Dial node running.

One thing that I was reminded of is that a conversion from ACID to DIAL will require changing rpt.conf. change all occurrences of zaptel with dahdi. The "helper" scripts do that to downloaded configs from the portal.

Pete, Not sure if that is a question. Yes having a backup of /etc/asterisk will get you up right away. Yes, any custom audio files and scripts are a good thing to backup also. To get back online fast, just overwrite the sample files in /etc/asterisk. Longer term, if you look at /srv/config you will find the sample config files. I've tried to add a lot of comments and made them easier to read. It's really not hard to edit iax.conf, extensions.conf and rpt.conf with your data. modules.conf is different in DIAL. I made the decision that if you are not using a channel driver, app, feature or function, why load them. Take a look, it's pretty well commented.
As always, copy the files before editing. All the above applies to x86 DIAL as well as Raspberry Pi2 DIAL.

If the upgrade is needed, would a copy of all the files in ect/asterisk/ directory would be enough to start back the system at the minimum. of course any script or audio files would still need to be ported to the new system.

Nope, If it works, don't fix it. If you run into something the underlying OS can't do, upgrade.

I have a couple of systems running ACID. Is there any compelling reason to upgrade them to DIAL? I don't have any issues with them at the moment and I have some other things I'd rather be doing.
Thanks
