Is my node even working ...?

Thanks to some help the node seems to be all set up and working on a miniPC with debian12 and asl3 … I think. It’s a radioless node. I am able to access allmon3 and it shows Transmit - Idle

I am trying to use iaxRpt on my PC to log in and I seem to be getting closer but end up with the following when I try to log in.

I suspect the issue is “Cannot find specified system node 63694” nut no idea how to fix it, hmm

What does the output of rpt show registrations say?

3

Is your node registered with allstarlink.org?

debianCLI> rpt show registrations
Host Username Perceived Refresh State
34.105.111.212:443 63694 207.81.3.52:4569 179 Registered
1 HTTP registration.
debianCLI>

It also shows YES under Regisered on allstarlink.org

Possibly make sure your public ip is forwarded to your mini pc node Lan ip And correct port for Iax. I couldn’t connect either. 63694. See if u can connect to mine. 62322.

Port 4569 is forwarded in my router to point to my node’s ip. I can’t seem to get anything connedted to my node though. Hmm

Allmon3 shows
Transmit - Idle
No connections - Repeat Only
Allstarlink.org shows
Registered - Yes
AllStarLink Active Nodes List
I am unable to find my node number or call sign?

Can you paste in the relevant stanzas for your IAXRpt connections from iax.conf and extensions.conf?

From iax.conf (Password Changed for posting)

[iaxrpt]
type=user
context=iaxrpt
auth=md5
secret=MySecret ; *** Important! Change this!!!
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm
transfer=no
requirecalltoken = no ; Un-comment or insert for ASL3

From extensions.conf

[iaxrpt]
; Entered from iaxrpt in iax.conf
; Info: The X option passed to the Rpt application
; disables the normal security checks.
; Because incoming connections are validated in iax.conf,
; and we don’t know where the user will be coming from in advance,
; the X option is required.
exten = 63694,1,rpt(63694|X); NODE is the Name field in iaxrpt

[iax-client]; for IAX VoIP clients.
exten => ${NODE},1,Ringing()
same => n,Wait(10)
same => n,Answer()
same => n,Set(CALLSIGN=${CALLERID(name)})
same => n,NoOp(Caller ID name is ${CALLSIGN})
same => n,NoOp(Caller ID number is ${CALLERID(number)})
same => n,GotoIf(${ISNULL(${CALLSIGN})}?hangit)
same => n,Playback(rpt/connected-to&rpt/node)
same => n,SayDigits(${NODE})
same => n,rpt(${NODE}|P|${CALLSIGN}-P)
same => n(hangit),NoOp(No Caller ID Name)
same => n,Playback(connection-failed)
same => n,Wait(1)
same => n,Hangup

Make your iax.conf stanza this:

[VA7GRF]
type=friend
context=iax-client
auth=md5
username=VA7GRF
secret=MySecret
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm
transfer=no
calltokenoptional=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
callerid=VA7GRF
codecpriority=Caller

and then add adjust the [iax-client] as follows in extensions.conf:

[iax-client]                            ; for IAX VoIP clients.
exten => ${NODE},1,Ringing()
        same => n,Wait(10)
        same => n,Answer()
        same => n,Set(CALLSIGN=${CALLERID(name)})
        same => n,NoOp(Caller ID name is ${CALLSIGN})
        same => n,NoOp(Caller ID number is ${CALLERID(number)})
        same => n,GotoIf(${ISNULL(${CALLSIGN})}?hangit)
        same => n,Playback(rpt/connected-to&rpt/node)
        same => n,SayDigits(${NODE})
        same => n,rpt(${NODE}|P|${CALLSIGN})
        same => n(hangit),NoOp(No Caller ID Name)
        same => n,Playback(connection-failed)
        same => n,Wait(1)
        same => n,Hangup
