JL Applied Technologies Downtime

by

This website will be down for a few days, starting today, while I move the server to a new location.

Services that will be affected:

  • Downloading RasLink
  • Posting to the RasLink group
  • Updating profile information for members
  • Adding and removing accounts
  • Accessing the private file share (Members with SFTP access only)

Services that will not be affected:

  • Updating existing RasLink images
  • Registering to PTTLink
  • Email support for RasLink

I will get the site back up as soon as the new ISP installs service at the new location. If you need support for RasLink, Send Me An Email.
I apologize for the Inconvenience.

RasLink Moves To The PTTLink Network

by

ThePTTLink network is hosted by the development team that maintained the AllStarLink software and servers.
PTTLink was started because of changes made by the AllStarLink board of directors that the development team did not approve of. See this Reddit Page for more information.
Your AllStarLink account and node numbers will work on PTTLink.
They have been ported for you.
If you are an existing RasLink user, you don’t have to do anything special to convert to PTTLink. Just run system-update like normal.
A new image is available.
for more information, and to download the image, visit The RasLink Page.

Messed Up Usbradio Configuration File Makes Crazy Large Log File!

by

Hi everyone.
From the land of oops, I’m writing to suggest that you make a careful study of your /etc/asterisk/usbradio.conf file.
When I put comments into the file for explaining the low pass and high pass filters, I got a little rushed and forgot to put “;” (semicolons) on a few lines.
So, if you’re using the filters, here’s what you need to do:
There are two ways to fix this.
1. run:
cd /usr/src/utils
git pull
cp /usr/src/utils/AllStar-build/configs/usbradio.conf /etc/asterisk
Reset your configuration by editing the file.
Note: The fixed configuration will not be loaded until you run service asterisk restart or reboot your node.
2. If you don’t want to reconfigure usbradio.conf, run the following commands:
nano /etc/asterisk/usbradio.conf
CTRL+w
CTRL+r
Audio from internet
; Audio from internet
CTRL+w
CTRL+r
Audio to internet
; Audio to internet
CTRL+x, y, enter
I patched the files in the update repository, as well as released a new image so that new users won’t have to deal with this.
Also, if you try to run nano /var/log/asterisk/messages, and it seams to hang, don’t freak out! Your node *isn’t* broken! Your log has probably gotten huge from Asterisk trying, and failing to read those four lines you just fixed as variables.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
If you need help, use the contact form.
