[arm-allstar] LAN connection?

[Doug Crompton]

Colin,

  Yes you can. It would be considered a private connection. You would
select node numbers less than 2000. The hamvoip code comes with two nodes
configured as 1998 and 1999. If you setup two nodes located at two
different locations one could be 1999 and the other 1998 or any other
combination <2000. The only thing you would need to do is put routing
information in the [nodes] section of rpt.conf. so that each node knew
about the other. See the link:

 https://www.hamvoip.org/multi-server%20howto.pdf

It explains how to do the addressing for multiple servers on a LAN but it
would be the same if they were widely separated. You just have to get the
IP addresses and ports correct.

As far as local setup of IP's you could use a static IP or DHCP from the
2.4G device. Is it Ubiquity?

The first thing to do is ping each server from the other and make sure you
have IP connectivity.

If this was strictly private then you would also want to disable the node
updates from allstar - comment out the rc.updatenodelist  from starting in
/usr/local/etc/rc.allstar

Also do not uncomment the stat server updates in rpt.conf. You do not want
to send updates.

This is just a quick overview but if you have more questions don't hesitate
to ask.

When you get it working I would love to have a write up on it for our web
page.
