[arm-allstar] Fw: First time config problem

[Doug Crompton]

Tim,

  Well that really isn't a totally unusual circumstance and we have
corrected that in a later update. While it is highly recommended to have a
wired connection for setup and download the latest update at the beginning
we realize that in some applications that is not possible and in some cases
I suppose there are people using Allstar strictly as a repeater controller
which you could do without any Internet access. This has  been corrected in
an update so you do not need Internet access to login from an HDMI monitor
and keyboard. The version for download at hamvoip.org however does not have
that update but that will be corrected very soon. As long as you have
Ethernet connected this is not a problem.
