ASL3 radioless hub does not work after install from scratch on Debian 12 amd64

Connected to Asterisk 22.4.1+asl3-3.5.4-1.deb12 currently running on dvswitch (pid = 51791)

Unknown node number 48270.

I upgraded the VPS to Debian 12, installed ASL3 as per the installation page on the How To's section.

Also, my DVSwitch client now connects, and then is immediately dropped after the verbal announcement. Had to disable autoload node on the DVSwitch client to stop the endless loop.

This same VPS with Debian 9 and ASL2 worked, I am lost as to what happened.

Thanks.

If I had to guess, I would check the [nodes] section of your /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf file to ensure that you have :

[nodes]

48270 = radio@127.0.0.1/48270,NONE

Also, were you configuring the /etc/asterisk/*.conf files by hand or were you using the asl-menu command?

Good afrernoon Sir. I used the asl-menu.

Here is the excerpt from rpt.conf
[nodes]
23 ; If you are using automatic update for AllStarLink nodes, and you probably are,
24 ; no AllStarLink remote nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition
25 ; for your local nodes, and private (not on AllStarLink directory) nodes here.
26
27 ; Sample nodes on this server. These are required. Use IP 127.0.0.1
28 ; IAX port number if not the default 4569.
29 ;1998 = radio@127.0.0.1/1998,NONE
30
31 ; Sample public or private node behind your router.
32 ;1001 = radio@192.168.1.8:4568/1001,NONE
33
34 ; Sample private node on the internet.
35 ;1000 = radio@8.8.8.8:4569/1000,NONE
36
37 48270 = radio@127.0.0.1/48270,NONE

I'm going to assume that you restarted Asterisk (or rebooted the system) after using asl-menu to setup the initial configuration.

Next up, can you exec sudo /usr/bin/asl-check-install ?

Well, saying it is a unknown node number kinda says it is not in the registration list.
/var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes.
OR / since it is my list,
being a local node, is it describe correctly in rpt.conf under [nodes]

I would look for a fat finger error.

Perhaps post the line description for more eyes on it.

Thank you Sirs for your replies. It turns out I have been away from the latest developments on these programs, namely ASL3 and DVSwitch Mobile.

I investigated in the How To's section and found out that DVSwitch Mobile can connect as a node itself, thus I do not need to run it in the cloud anymore.

I stopped asterisk on the VPS, read the instructions on how to connect as a node on DVSwitch Mobile, after verification that it connects, I went ahead and apt removed asterisk from the VPS.

Now I have to investigate why my DVSwitch Mobile connects to other nodes but in RX Only, something to investigate in the respective DVSwitch Mobile forum.

73 and thanks again.
