I just set up an allstarlink node to a Mototrbo XPR8300 Repeater. I turned off the ID in the Repeater and turned off the hang times there. I have a Masters Communications RA-40 setup for Audio interface.
I have Allmon3 working from local. I haven't been able to SSH into the unit or get in through a Web portal from the wild, Internet. I tried to connect in through Repeater phone and it timed out never connecting. So is there an "expert" here that has connected using an XPR 8300 before?
It kinda sounds like you have a exception for ssh from your local intAnet,
and likely no port forwarding in your router to tell what local IP to take from a intErnet request. And the port request also has to be allowed in the firewall.
But just some of the possibilities.
I had a Clear node that was working with its on radio link into the repeater. Was working fine. The router is a Linksys. Will get the model number when I go back out there. I can’t find port forwarding on it. I assumed, I know not suppose to assume. I thought since it had the same internal ip as the Clear node had it would work. But made the forwarding had been accomplished via MAC address?
Went out the the site. The port had previously been forwarded to a ClearNode. Moved it to the static Ip of the Raspberry pi.sill not able to get to the node 58475 or ssh or web browser into it.
Don't treat these as the same issue, even though they 'could be'
So, are you trying to ssh from inside your NAT ?
Edit
If both devices are NOT behind the same router,
you will need to specify via port forwarding in router to the computer.
Port 80 > private ip (for www/html)
port 22 or whatever you are using for ssh > private ip (ssh)
port 4569 > private ip (for iax asterisk)
port 5038 ? private IP (asterisk manager interface)
As one additional note...
You may want to disable IPv6 on the WAN side.
Ok, here is another “wrench” in the works. This router also has our DMR repeater on it. Using To go to the master server in Dallas. I don’t think I forwarded anything for that. Now the ClearNode that was getting Allstar and sending it to the repeater via a 146.73/13 transceiver to RF to the 13/73 repeater. It work except the RPT ID, squelch tail went into Allstar.
**what I have is a router getting internet from 199.33.108.106. The Allstarlink node is on a static IP in the routers DHCPs reservation table as 192.168.123.149
The only thing ported is 4569 to that IP.
I hooked up the COS pin 3 on the DB9 on the RA-40. Connect to pin 19 COR from the RPT. I forwarded 222 for ssh. Checked in simpleUSB saw activelow was set, what the repeater is set.
Still can’t SSH and get to Allstarlink node.
None of that makes any sense to me because you have not stated any kind of mapping for me to visualize what you are talking about.
If you are running 2 systems on the same router, for instance...
Both need a ssh port...
You need to change the port number on one system so they are not the same and use the correct port number for the one you wish to connect to.
222 > pivateIP1
223 > privateIP2
That is the purpose of routing.
And the same for any other ports in conflict.
So, I don't know what ports are needed or used in your dmr system, but you are going to need to find out and route them correctly to have more than one computer answer correctly on the same router.
Just to re-review your initial,
So far there is nothing specific about your radio system to complain about.
The issues are strictly in communication/network.
Or if I am missing something, tell me, but you need to have all the communication correct before you can deal with any radio specific issues/settings.
And that probably entails for both computers on that router.
I would start with the ssh connection, so you can change other settings remotely.
Have you set-up and enabled your SSH server in the computer ?
Then you need to add the port forwarding for the ssh port in router.
Just trying to get a solid starting point, which we seem far from.
edit
so you might mention in your config what duplex mode you are using on the node in question so I might think on your CT and telemetry.
I finally got the ID and curtesy tones going. I went into the repeater and looked at the GOI ports pin 19 according to paper work suppose to be on GOI 2 it was set on GOI 3 , GIO 2 had nothing assigned. I assigned COR to it. Set to active high on both ends and it works.
I think I’m going to have to set ctts to USB in simpleUSB. Noise is getting a courtesy tone after it. That’s with no one keying.
Now trying to figure out why I can’t ssh in or connect to the node using Repeater phone. I set 220 to forward to 192.168,123.149 which is the local IP for the pi.
I’m using 2 duplex with telemetry. The courtesy tone is firing and ID is happening. I did notice two chaps talking one would get a courtesy tone when finished the other no courtesy tone. The repeater is picking up noise that comes up and gives a courtesy tone every 50 seconds. Then after 10 minutes ID. I don’t know if I need to set the other simpleUSB settings to USB, if that would keep noise from doing that. I do have some ferrite rings coming for that.
Now as to SSH. I have no forwards to the DMR IP. All it needs is to be able to send its traffic to the Master Server. The ClearNode worked no problem. I was told I need to set SSH to 222. Is that correct. Don’t know where to set that and in what conf file to do so do folder. Any help appreciated. Oh using a Mototrbo XPR 8300 Repeater. The interface is a Masters Communications RA-40.
I would not know why that specific port, but perhaps. Ask the guy who told you that to explain why.
It has to match what you intend to use, so if a specific software needs it and is unchangeable, you are stuck with it. But don't confuse the only thing that worked for them with reality because their specifics are likely different.
So, without more specific info about everything there and it's purpose, I can't say how true that is outside of the above.
Whatever you use, it needs to be opened in the firewall for use.
But I suspect you have not opened/set the port in ssh server to begin with for root use.
I agree with all that. No I haven’t and that’s what all the manual isn’t clear about. I need to see what the software wants and then go into the router and forward that port to the address 192.168.123.149. Now where to find that answer in the ASL3 software is the $64,000 question. Then how do open the port in the router? The manual doesn’t say. I appreciate your assistance.
If you are only accessing your server/node on the local LAN then you don't need to do any port forwarding for SSH. The same would be true for access to the web portal (ports 80/443).
Opening a port in your router is going to be in your router's documentation; each one is different. Some ISPs even force you to configure it in some web-based interface. Again, as Allan said, only if you need SSH access from the outside.
SSH is not a asl thing, it's a OS thing. asl don't care. Not everyone uses it.
You need it if operating/managing remotely.
But when you said you were told you needed port 222, I had no idea for what software since you seem to have have many things running at the site. You did not specify.
Please go google the howto set your ssh or look back at many lessons in this forum.
Because with many attempts to help you on this, I got nowhere.
That was what I thought.Butwhen the chap was telling me 222 I thought it was something with Allstarlink. I still can’t get to the node from the wild only at location.
As I wrote, if you are only accessing your server/node on the local LAN then you don't need to do any port forwarding for SSH. If, for whatever reason you wish to be able to SSH into your server from outside your local LAN and you are willing to accept that risk, then you would need to setup port forwarding from the WAN to your local server.
