Re: Changing Callsign to Node Number and Vise Versa
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe audio part is (relatively) easy for me to do. I am less good at packaging something like that for easy distribution. I have lots of ideas, and know about half of what I need to make them a reality, regarding the replacement of the Allison Smith audio files.Sent from my zippo On Jun 15, 2024, at 13:03, Chris Smart via groups.io <ve3rwj@...> wrote:

Re: Changing Callsign to Node Number and Vise Versa
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? Aint that the truth.? I have pulled a lot of things into Audacity and sped up the tempo. I¡¯d gladly pay for someone to develop and release an easy-to-install script that replaced Allison Smith on my node. ? |

Hi: The file that plays after Allison slowly and painfully says "I... P... address..." the way she slowly and painfully said everything, before the IP address is spoken, is your normal node ID. If you go through the standard HamVoIP setup procedure USING THE FIRST TIME SCRIPT, and you told it to use a voice ID, this file will exist at /etc/asterisk/local/node-id.gsm by default. You can change the referenced ID to something else in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf using the idtalkover and idrecording directives. It just happens to play the ID since the node keyed up to say "I... P...

So, unless you want your node to ID with your node number instead of your call every <x> minutes, where <x> is the duration set in rpt.conf for the ID interval (not recommended for obvious reasons, unless it is part of an ID also containing the call)... ?

Changing Callsign to Node Number and Vise Versa
I recently downloaded the RPi-Z2W-2-3-4_V1.7-01 image to program a Raspberry Pi Zero.
The Pi Zero works but I want to make a change. When booting up or when the Pi Zero makes an announcement, the Pi Zero announces my callsign.? I would prefer that the node number be announced.? I am looking for the file or files that need to be edited to make this change. |
Re: Does Base Node number change need updating to entire Shari Pi
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYes, you will need to change any reference to 59886 with 598860 You don't need to do an entirely new install of your SHARI to change your node number. Just run admin menu option 3, change the primary node number. Enter your new node number and password. This isn't actually how I prefer to do it, but it's by far the easiest method. Otherwise, you could do a find/replace in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf, /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf, /etc/asterisk/iax.conf and /usr/local/etc/allstar.env, replacing your old node number with your new one in all those files with a text editor. I have a lot of customization that many don't have, including running multiple nodes on a single rPi, and using the script to change node numbers would override almost all of them, because I never bother updating the templates. If you haven't customized much about your node, this is the easiest way to go about things, though.

Does Base Node number change need updating to entire Shari Pi
I recently purchased a ClearNode UHF to complement my Shari VHF unit. I went to Allstar to create the node number for the new UHF unit.?
Allstar change my existing Node for my Shari from 59886 to 598860 & the new ClearNode UHF to 598861.? I understand why Allstar did this to save numbers for growth.? When I look at my Portal information, it shows extension from base 59886 to two nodes 598860 & 598861. Existing node 59886 working with no problem. However Allstar shows nodes not registered, but when I do the DTMF command it states node 59886 it states registered. I assume if I reboot or shutdown 59886, once it comes back online it will state node not registered since Allstar shows 598860. I assume that all existing node 59886 will need updating to 598860. Is my logic correct? Thanks, Rich H W9ABE |
Intermittently connecting
My node appears to not 'hear' my HT on an intermittent basis.
This issue is relatively new. After setting up the node I was able to use it as expected for several months. Recently when I attempted to connect to other nodes (Win System, Parrot, etc.) I get a response from my node to my HT only intermittently. I have updated the node system and rebooted it several times. I have tried different HTs. On some occasions (when I push the PTT on my HT(s)) the node responds as expected, but most times there is no response from the node. On those occasions the red light on the node does NOT illuminate. I have turned off every other transmitter within the shack to eliminate any source of de-sensing. The node antenna is tight. Nothing works. Any ideas on what I'm missing or what I might try?

Did you order it as a complete build or a kit?

At the risk of sound dumb. Where is the Shari program file??

Re: Looking for opinions
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI would recommend separating hub from radio hardware. The simpleusb usb driver, Supermon/Allmon/Allscan, etc. whatever
you want to run on it, takes away from potential for max
connections. That's why the W6EK repeater gets kind of choppy
during really busy All Nodes Net sometimes. They're running all
that stuff on the same hardware, and it gets a little starved for
CPU resources, as it tries to handle a bunch of connections, as
well as Supermon and a sound fob for the repeater. Even better if
you can run Supermon (if you use that) somewhere other than the
machine hosting any IAX2 connections at all. This is what we do.
My system has a server that exists just to run Allmon2 (I prefer
that for various reasons to Supermon), and it doesn't host any of
the actual traffic. So even if the web server is busy doing all
kinds of junk, it won't have any impact on other parts of the
system. For my network, Blind Hams, I am using a mixture of ASL and HamVoIP, where I have two Raspberry Pi's located in data centers for optimal tier routing (I have Gigabit symmetric fiber in my home, but it's still residential-class routing), one at a mmulti-gigabit residential fiber connection, and the rest on Linode VPSs. I hope to eventually eliminate the VPSs, at least for the U.S. west coast and Europe connections. I have a hub in Australia, but it gets very little use, so I'm not concerned much about that one. Between all that, even without any load balancing, I can handle
probably a good 300 or so connections across all the nodes without
any jittering. That could be increased to approximately 423
connections with load balancing just across the three rPi4's on
the system, not counting the VPSs, but I haven't have that kind of
load on the system yet, so haven't implemented measures to
accommodate for that. A single rPi4 not running simpleusb with
load balancing enabled can handle about 141 connections before it
bottlenecks, and maybe a few more with compromises.

Re: Looking for opinions
The SHARI is not the problem.. there are nodes out are hubs with over 100 nodes and bridges connected to them. One such comes to mind, Blind Hams- ALLSTAR 50631X. X being 0 through I think 6.. I connect to 5 in Dallas..
Anyhow it's the horse power of the Raspberry Pi that determines how many it can handle.. I use Raspberry PI 2's in repeater service for over 6 years. I recall a RPI3 will handle 5-6 nodes at the same time, and RPI4's handle upwards over 50.. The exact numbers I don't recall and the sun is not up yet nor coffee made.. So getting back to your question, the answer lies in the version of RPI you are using.. I'm sure others will comment based on that. Larry W8LM... |
