KF5MMW,
Worked great, except Asterisk would complain and refuse to start because it didn't know what time it was. Inconvenient, but can be worked around.
That can be fixed if you continue to read further down on the RPi Documentation page, scroll down to 3. Running RasPBX without Internet connection and install fake-hwclock (or you could change the boot script to take the time check out).

If, when you setup the advertising on the node running the ngIRC server AND you use irc://nodename:6667/mesh and have the advertising provide a link then, with Opera, all you need to do is click on the link provide in the mesh status page. Opera will then automagically bring up its internal IRC client and connect to the #mesh channel/room on 'node-name'. Other browsers can be setup to startup an external program or plugin when clicking on a URL starting with irc: .

If you loaded version 20.2 of my 'ngircd' onto your node then, when it finishes loading, the ngIRC server program will start executing and will be setup to run when the node reboots.

thank you that was the problem i though you had to do port forwarding with the new firmware it works great now thank you and this group helps the new people out very well

Each SPA1001 must be registered to a different extension number. Keep the nodes in "5 Host Direct" and you will not need to forward any ports. By keeping it in "5 Host Direct" we can rule out it being a router issue.

Following advice on this site, I've set up a node in Central Scotland.

Now I need some more interest to get connected.

I had been pointed this way by a guy 20 miles away, we haven't connected yet, but will try.

I have 2 watts to a 15 element yagi, but considering building some higher gain antennas - perhaps a spiral beam?

One issue I have encountered. My PC gets confused as to which tab in the browser is lookin at which source. Sometimes wanting to see the node, it tries to use the internet connection. Sometimes when wanting internet, the browser looks to the node. Any ideas on that?

Thanks for the reply! In the interm I brute force figured out the file locations. I'm working on the edits now :)

My goal is to have a picture of that node at it's location on the status page.

I wish to thank everyone that helped on my last problem well here's the next problem one one mesh router is the asterisk server when I connect the spa1001 adapter every thing works great and I have the other spa 1001 connected to a different mesh router it registers to the server but when I dial the extension I get an error 503 service is not enabled the ports have been opened on that router and the one with the server on it but the the problem is is the problem with asterisk or the router settings the settings for the spa1001 are the same for both adapters and the IP address have benn configured with the proper settings to point to the server they all register but when I dial the ext on the router with just the adapter it says error I,m thinking its an router issue I,m running the new update on all the routers do I need to make them a nat for this to work or is the setup different for the new update 1.0 

They are located in the /www/ folder on the node. Using WinSCP, SCP (port 2222) the picture to the /www/ folder and edit the css style sheet accordingly.

Greetings! Think of the connection between the two nodes as a road you just built. It's a really nice road but you can't really use it without a vehicle, right? Additional software is required to add functions to your new mesh. Each of these in the below list have instructions, normally found on their respective websites.

Teamspeak 3: voice and text based chatting, requires server and client

IRC: Text based chat, requires server and client

Asterisk: IP Phone server, requires server and an IP phone handset for each node that desires access to the service.

The mesh is a very capable network, though how you use it depends on the services you install.

I just want to shoot a quick thank you to the BBHN developers. You folks are on the cutting edge of amateur radio in my humble opinion. We in Colorado are very excited to get our mesh up and running and integrated into emergency operations. 

You're all doing a fantastic job and you need a donate button! 

I would like to add a small picture to the node status page of my nodes. What is the best way to go about it. I attempted some minor background color editing by changing the value in styles.css found in the Web folder but it had no effect. Where are the HTML files hidden away? 

Node is online here in Clifton Park! Its just sitting here on my desk, but as far as I can tell it is online!

Just using the stock antennas as well on the 54g.

Regardless of the FCC definition, I like the idea of using a Morse code message as my MOH.  I found a website that converts text to Morse in mp3 format, converted that mp3 to 8Khz 16 bit mono wav for install in a RasPBX/FreePBX 2.11.0.0rc1.2 (Asterisk v11.5.0) box.  Under Settings -> Music On Hold I've deleted all the other wav files in the "Category:default" after I successfully uploaded my Morse wav file. 

I have 6 nodes, 4 with extensions active.  When I put an extension on hold from another (or put an inbound call from my GoogleVoice trunk on hold), I still get what appears to be the MIDI from the PBX. 

Anybody know where I select my Morse wav file to be played system-wide for all instances that a party would be put on hold?  I saw some FreePBX forum posts regarding Asterisk storing the recordings under "moh" and FreePBX under "mohwav" but that was back in 2011 and a final post said things were fixed.  So I'm looking for info from anyone that's set this up in a current version.

If I have to do it at the CLI be gentle and step me through it.  :-)

These are parameters that worked for me with programming the SPA1001: http://www.voiptuto.com/?q=en/spa1001 , Sipera is the exact same design as the Linksys version. Everything else that in the video made by KI5JIM applies. One other thing, check off the "Gateway Mesh" in basic settings on the router which the Asterisk connected to. I found this was the one thing that seemed to get the SPA1001 to finally register with Asterisk when everything else was rechecked as being what was instructed.. Gary-KI4WPI

Undo your port forwarding. You don't need to forward port 22 to localnode. The nodes SSH server is located on port 2222. Also, make sure you are on the latest version v1.0.0.
The help file on the node is a good source of information: http://localnode:8080/help.html
