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! 73 Jim W7RY
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. -- Tim :wq On Jun 19, 2012, at 7:33 PM, Jim W7RY wrote:

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)...
