View source for Config multiple nodes in a QTH

For this tutorial we are going to use two sample node numbers '''10000''' and '''20000'''. Considering both nodes will share the same DSL modem/connection, you will need to add some lines to both nodes and make some port forwarding i your modem.


= Node 10000 =

So for node 10000 you will need to edit rpt.conf file.

 repeater@repeater:~$ sudo nano /etc/asterisk.rpt.conf

Search for the nodes stanza '''[nodes]'''

Add the following line, observing that the node number appears twice and that the node 20000 IP is 192.168.0.102.

 '''20000''' = radio@'''192.168.0.102''':4569/'''20000''',NONE

After making your changes type '''<CTRL> + <X>''' and then type '''<Y>''' followed by '''<Enter>'''. You will be back to the previous menu and choose '''<Back>'''.

= Node 20000 =

So for node 20000 you will need to edit rpt.conf file.

 repeater@repeater:~$ sudo nano /etc/asterisk.rpt.conf

Search for the nodes stanza '''[nodes]'''

Add the following line, observing that the node number appears twice and that the node 10000 IP is 192.168.0.101.

 '''10000''' = '''radio@192.168.0.101''':4569/'''10000''',NONE

After making your changes type '''<CTRL> + <X>''' and then type '''<Y>''' followed by '''<Enter>'''. You will be back to the previous menu and choose '''<Back>'''.

= PTTLink Server IAX ports =

Login to your PTTLink account and on the Server settings for:

 node 10000 change the IAX port to '''4569'''.

 node 20000 change the IAX port to '''4570'''.

if you have more nodes, increase the port number as needed (4571, 4572, etc).

= Modem Port Forwarding =

Now on your modem you have to forward two ports as follow:

For node '''[10000]'''

 IP 192.168.0.101
 Local port 4569
 External port '''4569'''

For node '''[20000]'''

 IP 192.168.0.102
 Local port 4569
 External port '''4570'''

If you have more ports add them in a way that match the IAX numbers you changed on your ASL account.
