[arm-allstar] Allstar setup template error

[James Hause]

Thanks for the reply Doug.
My 2 new nodes don't have my node number in the [first node], just
telemetry=telemetry, but they do in the [1999] and the [telemetryXXXXX]
So if I understand correctly, I need to change my first node to
telemetry=telemetryXXXXX,  where XXXXX is my node number.
On another note, a node that I have had up a running for quite a while, it
does not have my node number on any of the telemetry statements.
I am just using the node for a basic simplex node, so do I really need to
update it?
Thanks for your help, and patience.
