[arm-allstar] Setting up private node

[Doug Crompton]

Kevin,

 Sorry to hear about your cold. I hope you feel better.

At least at the moment private nodes are not served by the normal file (or
dns) lookup system. So a node would not know how to get to a another
unregistered node private node on another server or at another location. A
private node is a node with a number starting with a 1. Thus 1000-1999. You
have to specifically statically route a private node. This is done in the
[nodes] stanza towards the end of the rpt.conf file. Lets say you have a
server with node 40000 port 4569, IP 192.168.1.100 and another server with
node 1999 IP address 192.168.1.101 port 4570 here is how to do it

On server with 40000

[nodes]
...
...
1999 = radio at 192.168.0.101:4570/1999,NONE


On server with 1999

[nodes]
...
...
40000 = radio at 192.168.0.100:4569/40000,NONE

​The IP address can also be a domain name so if the node you were trying to
reach was out on the Internet somewhere you could do something like:

​1999 = radio at someinternetaddress.com:4570/1999,NONE

​In this case you would have to port forward in the router port 4570 at
that location.​

​When you make changes in the rpt.conf file you must either reload the file
-  rpt reload in the client or restart Asterisk - astres.sh​
