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

Sun Apr 5 22:57:04 EST 2015

Sam,

 What you have there is very confusing...  you first connect statement says to connect 

41531 to 1994     -   1994 is defined as 192.168.1.36 port 4568

OK now to BBB 'B'

It has no connection back to 41531

If you added a line for 41531 and its IP address and port it should work.

You have to make each node knowledgeable about the other nodes LOCAL ip address and port - You can only connect to nodes that are routed in BOTH DIRECTIONS. 

Also you cannot have the same nodes on two different servers. To avoid confusion make one server  have 1800 1801 etc. and the other 1900 1901 etc.  or whatever numbering scheme you want. Just make the servers different to avoid mixups. 

The very first thing you should do is have routing in BOTH servers for the primary registered  nodes. I think these are the only one you need to connect outside of each system.  Then you connect the other private nodes to the primary registered nodes in the same server.

Thank you, Doug and others, for the help. 

Unfortunately, it looks like I already have everything set up the way you have prescribed, but my problems persist. 

I took Doug's advice and did a -rvvv on both servers. 

Here is the "nodes" section for my BBB "A" (my repeater's allstar node and a pseudo note for remote base frequency control) 

[nodes]

; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes,

; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition

; for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here.

41531 = radio at 192.168.1.35/41531,NONE

1993 = radio at 192.168.1.35/1993,NONE,y

1994 = radio at 192.168.1.36:4568/1994,NONE,y

Here is the "nodes" section for my BBB "B" (Another group's VOTER backup node, and a pseudo note for remote base frequency control of a second radio) 

[nodes]

; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes,

; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition

; for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here.

29733 = radio at 127.0.0.1/29733,NONE

1994 = radio at 127.0.0.1/1994,NONE,y

1992 = radio at 127.0.0.1/1992,NONE,y

1998 = radio at 192.168.1.35/41531,NONE

So, 41531 is my allstar node, 1993 is the local pseudo node, and 1994 is a pseudo node on another Beaglebone. I changed the iax.conf for the additional Beaglebone to port 4568. 

Connecting from my main allstar node to the secondary  Beaglebone looks like this:

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.

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

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
