Greetings,
I'm having a similar issue and found this thread via search, since the OP didn't come back figured I'd continue the thread. My issue only occurs if I need to drop 1999 for some reason and then try to reconnect to it.

My extensions.conf have a line for 1999 in the globals stanza

[globals]

NODE1 = 1999; This is a private node

and rpt.conf also has a stanza

[1999]

rxchannel = USRP/127.0.0.1:34001:32001  ; Use the USRP channel driver. Must be enabled in modules.conf

                                        ; 127.0.0.1 = IP of the target application

                                        ; 34001 = UDP port the target application is listening on

                                        ; 32001 = UDP port ASL is listening on

 

duplex = 0                              ; 0 = Half duplex with no telemetry tones or hang time. Ah, but $

 

hangtime = 0                            ; squelch tail hang time 0

althangtime = 0                         ; longer squelch tail hang time 0

 

holdofftelem = 1                        ; Hold off all telemetry when signal is present on receiver or f$

                                        ; except when an ID needs to be done and there is a signal comin$

 

telemdefault = 0                        ; 0 = telemetry output off. Don't send Allison to DMR !!!!!!!!!!$

 

telemdynamic = 0                        ; 0 = disallow users to change the local telemetry setting with $

 

linktolink = no                         ; disables forcing physical half-duplex operation of main repeat$

                                        ; still keeping half-duplex semantics (optional)

 

nounkeyct = 1                           ; Set to a 1 to eliminate courtesy tones and associated delays.

 

totime = 180000                         ; transmit time-out time (in ms) (optional, default 3 minutes 18$

 

idrecording = |ie                       ; id recording or morse string see http://ohnosec.org/drupal/nod$

idtalkover = |ie                        ; Talkover ID (optional) default is none see http://ohnosec.org/$

Is something missing from these elements or do I need to add anything else?

 

 

Copy that, and that is also present. Sorry, didn't even think about that. #doh

1999 = radio@....0.1:4569/1999,NONE   ; and iax port number if not the default

Yep, looks good.

[radio-secure]

exten => ${NODE},1,rpt,${NODE}

exten => ${NODE1},1,rpt,${NODE1}

The auto connect on boot works fine and that is done via macro *31999 in rpt.conf so I'm confused as to why it won't connect after a disconnect.

startup_macro = *31999

I've also searched through the logs for 1999 and the only relevant lines that come back are 

/var/log/asterisk/messages.1:[Jan 28 18:51:19] NOTICE[480] app_rpt.c: Normal Repeater Init  1999    

/var/log/asterisk/messages.1:[Jan 28 20:01:16] NOTICE[480] app_rpt.c: Normal Repeater Init  1999    

 

/var/log/asterisk/messages.1:[Jan 29 02:30:16] NOTICE[481] app_rpt.c: Normal Repeater Init  1999

Which seem to be normal for boot.

 

Welp, I just tried to connect to it again to see if I could get anything to show in the logs that would easier to find and it worked. Disconnected and reconnected like 5 times with success. No file changes, reboots or anything like that.

 

Thanks for the replies and help but it's a mystery still. Will see if I can learn anything more if it happens again. Any further thoughts or things to check/confirm are welcome but with it working. We won't be able to confirm that it was a fix.

Until it acts up again.

Could it be that a node you were connected to or a node connected to you also had a 1999 private node ?

If so, it will not allow you to connect as long as one is present in the 'connected network'.

Suggest using a odd number like 1325. everyone seems to use 1999 for there first private node.

Something to look for next time.

Mike,
Lets move the discussion of a scheme for private node numbers to the AllStarLink subgroup.

I did not have a discussion, just a one post answer to the multi post problem.

Should I not answer when the answer is not in the right category as the question ?
