I've found all the information needed to set up a private node except how to use it from the internet. The Web transceiver from allstarlink.org wants you to chose a node from their list. If I make a private node, is it possible to use the web transceiver or something similar to access and use the node? Or can you only use a private node from another node by using the connect commands? Also, do I understand correctly that node numbers in the 2000 range are private? If so, how is access restricted? I tried the test node 2002 and connected with no problem, just like a public node. Cole, AA7RD
Hi Cole, You can't directly connect from the AllStarlink.org web transceiver to a private node. However, you can setup a public gateway (or hub) node which can see your private nodes. Then, connect to the hub via the web transceiver. Then, connect the hub node to your private nodes. I do this all the time. And, private node numbers are 1* (like 1000 or 12345), not 2*. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 2 Mar 2015, Cole Cunningham wrote:
