Dear all, I would like to host a hub node on one of my existing allstar nodes - is this possible? I already have 2 "real" nodes using USB fobs on the computer but wanted to add a "Pseudo" setup to use as a hub for a different net. If this is possible, would anyone be kind enough to guide me how to modify my node config files please? Many thanks, Matt G4RKY
You can certainly do this, but the concept behind a hub node is that none of the computer's resources are being tied up handling the intensive work of addressing connected hardware, be it URI, Beagle Board, RTCM, or a sound FOB. A hub node allows 100% of the resources to be used to handle the connected nodes. If you begin experiencing brief "holes" in the node audio, you have stretched the machine too thin on resources. I'm sure there are other issues that can arise as well.

We house our HUBs in a Data Center and connect our radio systems to the hubs and let the "outside world" connect to our hubs that away the major bandwidth is kept in the "High Speed" part of the network and we dont bog down the radio network , in our case all fed with Wireless Point to Point microwave, our hubs have no radios connected to them physicly they are just headless boxes in a server rack, and most are run as VMs on top of that. Our wireless microwave is part of a WISP Back Haul we share at most of our tower sites. -- Thanks in Advance Bob Brown, WØNQX Kansas City Metro Area http://sm0kenet.net http://byrg.net http://kcdstar.byrg.net http://w0nqx.blogspot.com Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Many thanks to all those who replied, its all set up and working great now! Cheers! Matt G4RKY
The first thing you have to do is add another node stanza to your rpt.conf. Everything can be the same except the stanza and the rxchannel. In this example node 111 is your existing radio and node 222 is your new hub. [222] rxchannel=Zap/pseudo. In the nodes stanza add a second entry. [nodes] 111 = radio@127.0.0.1/111,NONE 222 = radio@127.0.0.1/222,NONE In extensions.conf: [radio-secure] exten => 111,1,rpt,111 exten => 222,1,rpt,222 In iax.conf: register=111:password@register.allstarlink.org register=222:password@register.allstarlink.org Also, please take the time to read this: http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/49 -- Tim :wq On Mar 19, 2012, at 12:42 PM, Matt Beasant wrote:
