[arm-allstar] Adding Second Node to Server

[David McGough]

Kevin,


Are you trying to adjust asterisk (simpleusb) settings with the FOB 
removed?  If so, that'll mix everything up. As long as you aren't 
adjusting asterisk and plug the FOBs back into the same ports, in the same 
order, it should be okay.  If you've got multiple FOBs, you can't swap 
them around, etc., they must always get plugged into the same port.

The best plan is to plug the CM1xy audio FOBs into specific USB ports on 
the RPi and then leave them alone. Use "free" USB ports for other 
peripherals (like a keyboard).
