[arm-allstar] BBB node problems

Wed Jun 3 11:26:16 EST 2015

Hi Doug, 

Thanks for the prompt reply, 

I have a static IP address 192.168.1.75 

Here is the result from IP a

Last login: Wed Jun  3 15:26:53 2015 from 192.168.1.80

[root at bbb-allstar ~]# ip a

All seems ok when I do asterisk -rvvv

Verbosity is at least 3

    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1147840309'

    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1486191162'

That's just going through the keypad on my handheld

When I try simpleusb-tune-menu I get "no such command"

When I had vers. 1 I used usb radio, not simpleusb I'm not sure if that
makes a difference

Yes I do realise that it takes time to register the node and it shows as
live on the asterisklink website

It will send my callsign out at intervals but no speech at all

Regards

Ken,

 If it doesn't give the IP address then it is not getting one properly. 

At the Linux prompt of the BBB do

ip a

You should see an eth0 IP address there. It should be a valid IP address in
your routers range. At boot the system should DHCP an address from your
router unless you set it to static.

As far as tones and connections are concerned it will not connect anywhere
if it does not have a good internet connection. You should check that the
tones are being decoded properly though. Go into the asterisk client -

asterisk -rvvv

then watch the screen as you key up and push each tone. The proper response
should  be seen on the screen. You should not get any bounces (double or
more characters with one press) and each should decode properly. If not you
either have a level problem (check your levels with simpleusb-tune-menu) or
an equalization problem.

Because you apparently had your original V1.0 system working properly there
is no reason why this one should not do the same. Perhaps you set something
wrong in the setup in the IP address? Did you use static or DHCP?

You also need to wait up to 10 minutes at boot for the database to update at
both ends before you can connect out.

I would recommend running the setup again from the beginning if you cannot
get anywhere. Run  firsttime.sh at the BBB prompt.

Hi,

I have finally got round to upgrading my bbb node to ver 1.2.1. It installed
ok apart from the fact I cannot connect to anyone, any dtmf command I send
to the radio returns a short tone and that is all.

On my last setup a *7 would give me the status of the node likewise *3 and
the node number would connect me.

When the node first starts it gives my callsign in morse then I get a short
tone a gap then a spoken "ip address" it doesn't give the ip address

The node number is 28468 and its callsign MB7ICE
