not as intuitive as EchoLink

K9lpamark · June 6, 2018, 9:02am

Ok, I’m a new in-list-ment: and:

I find the system cryptic… I’m running linux Mint 18.3 and firefox as a browser… I can get the list pages for each of the nodes, BUT…

HOW do I access the transmit/receive mode for them??? EchoLink has the connect function and a trans/rec togle , I see none on the list pages… Is there some software I need to download or just What special key do I push? WHAT AM I MISSING???

Allstarlink is not EchoLink. The primary purpose for Allstarlink is to build VoIP linkable repeaters that can be used as personal devices, where as EchoLink is designed to be a personal device, that can be connected to a repeater (think radio) for control. In both cases each node is password protected, accessible only by the owner, or someone thy designate, and in both cases the owner’s node can be connected to another node via VoIP protocol. An Allstarlink node, hosted on an ASL server, can also host an EchoLink node. In that case, EchoLink and Allstarlink nodes can be connected. Allstarlink connections are peer to peer, but EchoLink requires the use of EchoLink servers.

Thanks,

Hello Mark, and welcome to the list.

  Not sure what you are having issues with but let me take a

guess…

Are you trying to use the 'web transceiver" at allstarlink.org ?

  If so, it has become problematic with the current rejection of

security of ‘JAVA’

So, you might not be seeing everything on the page without it.

Folks have been working on a new solution, but nothing yet.

  I still have a old XP machine and have allowed JAVA exceptions

that work for me with IE.

  But I have never gotten it to work with anything else and spent

no time using it or trying.

  Most are creating their own micro node using a raspberry pi right

now.

The thing is, it isn't Echolink and not really intended to be used like Echolink from a PC. There are ways to do it but the primary use is to interface a repeater to Allstar, and connect to other repeaters. You're probably looking at the list of nodes or online nodes and will see bubble charts, etc.

Somewhere on the net you can download IAXRPT and install it. That's a PC to asterisk(allstar) application. You'd need to know the ip address, and name and password for that particular repeater. And if the repeater has the echolink ports open it can be accessed thru the usual echo software.

That's pretty much it. Unless I mis-understood your query.
