i have successfully taken my ASL3 server from one node to a multi-node config via NNX. making connections between the nodes on the server did not have results i expected, so i am asking for some help in understanding how audio gets routed. the first node, a hotspot, behaves as expected until i con…

they are all set up inside the same server - so, yes, the same network. it's a head-scratcher for me, because they appear to be mostly independent, or at least can be operated independently

No, those are different things. So you have one server running two specific nodes in app_rpt? Those are two nodes on the same host not two hosts on the same network.

yes, two nodes now defined and have sound card interfaces. a third exists set up as a no interface node. all in the same one app_rpt. have i described the setup here sufficiently?

So in rpt.conf you have two node like so, using 1998 and 1999 as examples: 1998 = radio@127.0.0.1/1998,NONE 1999 = radio@127.0.0.1/1999,NONE And you do not have anything about them in iax.conf correct? And you didn’t modify extensions.conf at all correct? What duplex and type is each node you con…

rpt.conf:x0 = radio@127.0.0.1/x0,NONE rpt.conf:x1 = radio@127.0.0.1/x1,NONE rpt.conf:x2 = radio@127.0.0.1/x2,NONE there are commented out ( see ';' ) lines in iax.conf (put there by asl-menu?) iax.conf:;register => x0:s3kr3t@register.allstarlink.org iax.conf:;register => x1:s3kr3t@register.allstar…

I had similar issues using a Pi4. A Pi3 worked perfectly

interesting. i am willing to spend some effort on troubleshooting this on the way to understanding how it is supposed to work

If you’re using two USB devices and you’re on a Pi 4, you will need a powered USB hub. Otherwise, you can run into an issue with +5V USB bus undervoltage. Assuming that isn’t the issue, are these both connected to radios? And are you sure they aren’t desensitizing each other? do both of them work a…

the two non-pseudo interfaces each have a radio - one on UHF (low power) and another on VHF (low power into dummy load). desensing should not be an issue the two interfaces each behave as expected when operated independently. the status indicators are doing their COS/COR/PTT things, as they should.…
