[arm-allstar] Controller Connections

[K6ECS Allstar]

Mike,

Let me be clear for all. The server was previously in my home which is where I run an IT firm from. We have high speed broadband and the repeater site had none. We used a radio to talk to the server and relay over Allstar/IRLP. It was a work-around. But my expensive business line has "flapping." This is when your router advertises one path but takes multiple paths instead. But in the incorrect term of Spectrum business it is when the line drops off and on. We were dropping packets and thus connections. Now we have high speed internet over a 25 site 5.8 GHz network and the ability to add more sites. Due to my health I hadn't done anything with this over 5 years. Our Dell simple GX520 blew a power supply during multiple brown-outs and we've been down since. My health has improved and now it's time to get immersed in Allstar. The person doing it bailed on me. He claimed to be an "electronics technician" but knew squat. He wouldn't touch the repeater each time until reading the manual in detail. I had to say "DUDE! Solder the wires here and here and just get it done!"

Repeater Builder makes the RIM Lite, one version specifically for the
RC210. We use it, had a couple quirks at first that ended up being a bad
USB cable, and have had no problems since. Everyone else recommends the
DMK-URI if you want to spend a bit more money.

You can run Echolink from the same node, however the Hamvoip image doesn’t
support Echolink Proxy, so keep that in mind.
