How long to get a node

My node is not approved yet. How long before I get my node??? With as many people that run this site, you would think I wouldnt have to wait a week to get approval.

Not sure how you can get a node number issued without following the directions and setting up a server first!

https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Beginners_Guide

Read and follow this section for setting up your server first. Login & Create a Server

Once your server is created, then you can request a node number.

wait…what you mean by setting up a server is basically registering a server name with Allstarlink, not physically getting the PC running. When I first read what you said it didn’t ring right till I realized that. My node numbers are pretty old, I forget how it was then.

WD5DMX, how did you request a node number? From the procedure in the how-to? That stuff should be pretty quick.

I’m just south of Ft. Worth in Crowley, TX.

George,

You are correct! Registering a server name and information on the Allstarlink WebPortal.

Its all explained here with pictures! :slight_smile:

Sometimes you just need to read and follow simple directions for the correct outcome, instead of pointing fingers at others. :slight_smile:

Follow the simple instructions. Then delete your last sentence!

Not sure where you are getting your info on the number of people running this site.
But it is a community help board and only a few for it
and registrations are no more than a couple different people, Everyone donates their time.

Node numbers are not automatically issued.
You must first sign up and be verified manually by your call, and once your accepted, you must use the ‘self service portal’ to request a node number. Set-up your server details.

If you have done all of that, log-in to your account and see if they have been issued.
You can then assign that node to a server you have config’d.

So exactly where in this process are you ?

Hello

I setup a server according to the instructions.
how long does it take for the server to register so I can request a node number?

You can request a node number as soon as there is at least one server associated with your account.

So you are saying that I have to wait for the server to be approved?

Not sure what you meant by you say ‘set up a server’. Physically ?

You need to declare a server in the self service portal with data,
once that is done, you can request a node number from the same.

Hi W3DDS, Did you read the link above in this post? Here it is again for your convenience.

Geezzz… I have done that. I have not received a response to my server “declaration”. Is that normal? Is there an approval process???

YEs I did read it. IF you read my question… How long does it take for my server request to be recognized by the system? That is my question. I “added” a server 2 days ago but it is not showing up in the system

Portal → “Server Settings” → “Add a new server”
Fill in the details
“Submit”

As stated in my previous posts. I have done that. There has been no response. How long does it take to get to response?

Servers don’t need approval. Nodes need to be approved/issued.

You won’t ever get a response for registering a server.

What no-one seems to be saying is that the WHOLE process is self serve - once you’ve got a Server defined, just go ahead and create a node number.

The instructions at the top of this page more-or-less follows the procedure:

… follow the bulleted points - some of which you’ve already completed.

I’m not getting the option to create a node number. I click submit to add the server and then when I go to the node page it tells me to add a server.

I see 2 servers in your account,
each have a node assigned to it.

64739 @ 73.57.247.213
&
64747 which is listed on a server witch seems to have incomplete data. But has that node# assigned to it. But no server address. Did you move an existing node to a server that was not completely described ?

Does this match your records ? How many servers do you have defined ?
