Do I need a second server or just additional nodes?

I have an RPi running a SHARI hat at home and I am building another RPi with a SHARI as well for work. Do they need to be on separate Allstar servers or can I use the existing server and just extend the node numbers? I also want to add a HotSpotRadio-USB to each RPi...that's a different conversation though

You will need to extend your node numbers and do separate servers. You will need different port numbers if on the same network. 4569 is default. Ports can only be used by one node number/server. If they are on separate networks then it may be possible to use the same server. I never tested that though.

Good info, thanks! Once I get my nodes back I will put it to the test.

Brian, if you think you might at times bring the server home from work,
you might want to use different iax port numbers on them so there is no conflict when you run them on the same network (NAT-router)
like 4569 & 4570
This way you don't need to do any reconfig to it or your router if you bring it home and run it for a weekend.

I agree, I'm pretty sure they will come home occasionally, thanks.
