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,

Yes, 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.
