Objective: \u00a0Upgrade Allstar from hamvoip 1.02\/1.7 to latest 1.5 version. \u00a0This is not a cookbook. \u00a0It is a narrative.<\/p>\n
Issue: No Wired Internet, tether or Router\/Switch by which to get an IP to be able to Putty into the PI<\/p>\n
What I have: \u00a0Smartphone w hotspot for internet but the Pi is not natively activated for wireless.<\/p>\n
Before we digress too far a few prerequisites could be in order if you have an existing node. T<\/strong>he listed below will help considerably.<\/p>\n My Solution: I borrowed an old Linksys router with a 4 port switch. Activate the Router and plug your computer into the LAN switch side and make sure you can get into the admin of the router. \u00a0Enter the Admin of the router (usually, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) enter the user name and password. \u00a0Look for something like LAN Clients that shows the currently attached LAN devices.<\/p>\n Now, attach the Pi 3 to Router LAN switch and power on the Pi 3 with the Allstar 1.5 version image installed on the microSD. \u00a0Refresh the display monitoring the Router admin LAN client section. \u00a0You should see the Pi 3 IP Address that may look like 192.168.1.xxx.<\/p>\n Next Putty\u00a0into 192.168.1.xxx:222 using root and password root. When you do this you will be presented with a screen asking if this is the First Time run. \u00a0If it is then answer yes. This will result in a series of questions you must answer and for which the above prerequisites will com in handy. \u00a0At some point the questions will end with a reboot request.\u00a0 ( I use Bitvise<\/a> which is a very nice free integrated SSH\/SFTP client).<\/p>\n When the reboot occurs and the putty is reconnected. a “new menu” will be presented. \u00a0Of the whole list the most important will be the wireless activation (remember the router is still connected). \u00a0Go to the Wireless section and go to it. \u00a0This will result in a search for \u00a0wireless networks nearby so you will need to chose one and connect to it with the necessary credentials(usually a wpa2 password). \u00a0After this is successful you will need to reboot the Pi. \u00a0As soon as you start the reboot, disconnect the wired cable from the router (this is important to do this quickly).<\/p>\n When the router has rebooted it will announce the IP and if everything was done correctly the wireless IP will be announced. \u00a0Now you can putty in with the new IP and modify whatever is desired. \u00a0In my case I went to \/etc\/asterisk and copied simpleusb.conf to simpleusb.conf.xxx. \u00a0Then I edited by using nano simpleusb.conf. \u00a0I did this because I entered the incorrect configuration data from the menu. I was not ready with config data on usb or usbinvert. \u00a0If you do change anything be sure to cntl-O and then cntl-X out of the edit node.<\/p>\n After this I entered the “new menu” and selected simpleusb tune menu and set the Rx & Tx levels. \u00a0When done I put out a test call and all levels were good. \u00a0All in all, it was a reasonably seamless upgrade. \u00a0It is nice to be able to enter the CLI from the menu.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Objective: \u00a0Upgrade Allstar from hamvoip 1.02\/1.7 to latest 1.5 version. \u00a0This is not a cookbook. \u00a0It is a narrative.
