[arm-allstar] ARM-allstar Digest, Vol 73, Issue 27

[John W. Springman III]

Hi Doug and others,  Yeah I did the 6 digit extension as I was thinking that would be the way to do it rather than apply for another node number.  I fixed the remote base issue you said about.  

Some nodes still not working but will have to see as I havent tried that many in general yet.

Still trying to figure out why the dvswitch isnt registering.

John,

 First of all I see you are using 6 digit node numbers. This is fine but be
aware and others be aware that you will NOT be able to connect to or from
any nodes in the system that either have not updated or are using older
systems that cannot be updated. This is a significant number of nodes,
maybe 10% to as much as 20% of nodes out there.

Another factor is the remote base problem. IN YOUR CASE THIS IS YOUR
PROBLEM! You are not a remote base and should not have that item checked at
allstarlink.org  Go there and uncheck that. Make sure it has cleared. This
is indicated by a 'y' on the end of domain lookup. Here is what yours looks
like right now -

# dns-query 513960
+OK|radio at 192.81.87.244:4569/513960,192.81.87.244,y
# dns-query 513961
+OK|radio at 192.81.87.244:4569/513961,192.81.87.244,y

Do a dns-query at your end once you have removed the checkbox at
allstarlink.org and things update and you should see no 'y' at the end.
This should fix your problem.

This is important for anyone else reading this. In most every case you
should NOT check remote base at allstarlink.org.  This is a very special
case and when checked things work very differently. Unfortunately this is
not explained at the site so people think it is something they should check.
