[arm-allstar] need some help with LAN node linking

[Doug Crompton]

Sam,

 Two (or more) local nodes on different servers will talk to each other fine as long as things are setup correctly. Each server should be on a different iax port especially if you want outside connectivity. So in the case of two nodes, one could be the default 4569 and the other 4568.

You would then need routing info in each nodes rpt.conf [nodes] stanza. Each node has to know how to reach the other including the port. As an example if you had two nodes,  1998 port 4569 at 192.168.1.100 and 1999 port 4568 at 192.168.1.101 then it would look like this -

at node 1999 -

1998 = radio at 192.168.0.100:4569/1998,NONE

at node 1998

1999 = radio at 192.168.0.101:4568/1999,NONE
The :4569 port in the 1998 could be left out as it is the default.I like to put it in so I can readily see what is going on. 

Also observe the log data as you connect. Put both nodes in the Asterisk client - asterisk -rvvv and connect from there - rpt fun <yournode#> *3<node>

See what the log info says at both ends. It will tell you a lot. If you are not seeing anything at the receiving end then you have something wrong in your config.   

Also make sure you can actually ping both BBB servers.

Hello, I'm looking for a little "offline" help getting a couple of BBBs talking to each other via LAN. I've followed Doug's post to a tee, and after a night of very intense troubleshooting to try and avoid asking for help, I'm ready for some help.

I have two functional BBB setups, both of which have a pseudo node in addition to a simpleusb node. The pseudo node on each BBB is used for serial frequency control of a remote radio. This works great. Now, I want to be able to connect the two BBBs together. This simple stuff is kicking my butt!! 

Thank you
