I have a server defined at allstarlink. I also have three nodes assigned to that server. I am trying to figure out how to identify a non-radio node such as a hub with text rather than a frequency ID. This would be the field labeled <none> when no frequency is defined. I notice in the cloud and node list displays others have text in this field but the frequency field appears to only allows numerics.

If you want to identify each node differently with information such as location and so on, then you must define a server on the Allstar site for each node. Even if each node is on the same PC physically.
Since you have 3 nodes defined on one "Virtual"server, you will have to create 2 new servers on the Allstar site. One for each node you want to identify separately from the original server. Once you have done that then you can move the nodes to the new Vertual servers on the Allstar site.

To move a node, go to the node menu and select a node confuration - select one ofthe nodes you want to move off your original server. Then in the nodes menu, select "move node to another server". Select one of-the newly created servers for that node. your node will now be associated with the new server.

You can now update the info for the new server to reflect the node.

As for changing the node freq to show HUB or something else, go to node and select the node # and change the freq field in node information menu to say what ever you want. It should take normal text. I just tried it and it works.

Hope this helps,

On another note - the lat/long location of the server is defined but not the individual nodes. If one has a node located with a radio remotely from the server such as through an RTCM how can the actual location be identified?
