[arm-allstar] troubleshooting two nodes that can't connect

[larry]

Patrick ....Might I ask, Have you checked these things on the nodes that 
will not connect?

Check your iax.conf file...

[general]
bindport= 4569 make the second nodes server be a different iax port 
number (ie 4568)

Assign different iax bindport port numbers for each different server on 
the same LAN. Set Port Forwarding in your router to forward incoming 
traffic to the proper IP for each of those assigned ports.

Nodes will not connect inbound if the individual node's iax port is not 
correct. You can connect outbound to other nodes but incoming connects 
will fail.

Also in many instances ... if running multiple Servers with nodes on the 
same LAN you need enlightened rpt.conf [nodes] section on each node of 
the opposite nodes existence. (Some router don't need this but most do.)

[nodes]
; Note, if you are using automatic updates for allstar link nodes,
; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition
; for your local (within your LAN) nodes, and private (off of allstar
; link) nodes here.

50663 = radio at 127.0.0.1:4569/50663,NONE
1999 = radio at 127.0.0.1/1999,NONE
50531 = radio at 192.168.x.x:4568/50531,NONE -192.168 x.x = your LAN IP

On the 50531 nodes Server add needed info for 50663 at the bottom of 
it's rpt.conf [nodes] section if you haven't already done this.

Restart Asterisk  astres.sh or reboot each server for their changes to 
take effect.

See if that helps.
