You have to think of the RTCM as a remotely connected URI unbound via UDP. You still need all the other Allstar parts (asterisk server, node number, inbound port on 4569 etc)…

Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Server/Node Relation RTCM

Think of an RTCM as a radio interface, as a way to connect your radio to a computer. It's not a node. It is the physical interface to a computer via ethernet.

A node is a number on the Allstar network. It's the virtual representation of a radio in the Allstar network.

A server is a computer that hosts one or more nodes.

Yes, you can add another node to your existing server. You'll add the node by adding a whole new node stanza to rpt.conf (there is other stuff you have to set up, see http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/49 ). Only two items will be different about the new node stanza; the node number and the rxchannel = Voter/your_node_no.

The RTCM must be configured with the address (or DNS name, that's where your no-ip.com will come in) of your server. The RTCM must also be configured with host and client passwords that match the ones on the server in voter.conf.

I hope that helps you get started.

I’m still not clear on the server/node relationship. I’m going to get my RTCM set up and working, but I have a question. The RTCM needs to be pointed to a SERVER correct?

So, I can point the RTCM “node” (it’s not really considered a node is it)? to one of the servers that I already have a node set up on? Or do I need to set up another server to support the RTCM? If it’s on the same server as another node, how do you manage multiple nodes on one server?

I just signed up for a DNS on no-ip.com so I think I have that set up.... But I need to figure how to set that info into the node server that I’m going to use to “host” the RTCM.

Thanks in advance for the help!
