Node number limitation?

Hi all,

We’ve a few nodes still running under v 2.
All are working just fine.

I’m actually trying to move one on these nodes under v3 without changing anything on the hardware.

We are on a private network and the server is node #1, the node I want to change is #100.

I have now way to make it work by changing the different config files to use #100. When I set them to # 1111 , everything works as expected.

Is there a limitation in the node number in ASL3 ?

Thanks and 73,
Patrick.

The asl-menu (and node-setup) expects node #'s to be 4 digits (1000+) with private node numbers between 1000-1999.

We had a discussion a while back (many months ago) about what range to allow for private nodes but, offhand, I don’t recall why we set the lower end to be 1000.

It has always been advised to use private node number between 1000 and 1999

And I might add if anyone starts using asterisk functions on their sip devices via industry standard, you will have a 3 digit conflict almost assuredly.
I think some of the older versions left those enabled default.
3 digits are left for internal dialplan I believe.

By spec, the ASL node numbers are 4-6 digits starting with 2, 4, 5, or 6 with 4 digit numbers starting 1 are reserved as “private” nodes. Three digit numbers are not supported and have quirky problems. Especially with the updated codebase where they were never contemplated, I wouldn’t expect them to work at all. I’d suggest just adding 1 to everything.

Thanks,
I’ve asked our sysop to create a new node with a 4 digit number and we will probably have to change all our node numbers.
