<div dir="ltr"><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" color="#000000">Pete,<br><br> You are basically right in your assumption of how it works for global Allstar but if you want to create a local private system it could be much simpler assuming a few things.<br><br>You do not have to register to establish a connection between servers assuming BOTH ends know the other IP address and port. If the IP addresses are known then each node would manually have that inserted in the rpt.conf file. Then those servers could connect to reach other independent of the Allstar system. Of course there is a couple of caveat. The most important is knowing the public IP address of the distant server. Since most sites do not have static puiblic IP addresses the IP address could change so using a dyndns service would be required. You could also create your own dns server as long as at least one node had access to a static public IP.<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">Another option ff your servers are LOS and you wanted to create your own network using say Ubiquity 2.4 or 5Gig links then you would assign your own IP addresses and they would not change so from that standpoint it would simplify things</font>.<br><br><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">I hope that somewhat answers your questions. </font><br><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a></font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: <a href="mailto:petem001@hotmail.com">petem001@hotmail.com</a><br>To: <a href="mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org">app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org</a><br>Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2015 21:43:43 -0400<br>Subject: [App_rpt-users] updating nodelist for a small group of ham repeater<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi!<div><br></div><div>we are a small group of ham and club in the Quebec province that want to do our own lottle network of app_rpt repeater</div><div><br></div><div>I have taken a good look at how allstarlink manage registration and I did figured out that there must be a script running on an asterisk server named <a href="http://register.allstartlink.org">register.allstartlink.org</a> , that script either connect to the actual asterisk cli and parse / save the output of the iax2 show registry command.. or get the info on a sql server connected to the asterisk server. so that is how the allstalink system create the rpt_extnodes-temp that is fetch by the rc.updatenodelist tat is used by app_rpt to know where are all the nodes.. well that is how I think this done.. If I am wrong please advise me..</div><div><br></div><div>So how would one little group of club would go to creat something like that?</div><div><br></div><div>I am pretty sure we would need to create a central server on a fix ip adress or domain name. that can be done..</div><div><br></div><div>then on that server we would need to create iax2 trunk for all the nodes. those trunk would have all different node number and passwords.. (maybe in iax.conf ??) then I am lost</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone been there? I dont want to create a competing network to allstarlink, I want to create a small automated private nets of repeater.. Not that I dont like allstarlink, it is just that some of the sysop here love the technology behind app_rpt/asterisk. they just dont want to be on the big network, and updatng ip adress when they chage is a real pain.</div><div><br></div><div>thanks for your time reading this.</div><div><br></div><div>Pierre </div><div>VE2PF</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div> </div>
