CQBH 46IAXRPT setup with AllStar
Today N1CA Julian and W0CAS Joel setup IAXRPT for the first time using a ClearNode on AllStar.
Getting Started with, and setting up IAXRPT
Visit: blindhams.com, find and activate the "Ham radio links" link, find
and activate the "I A X R P T Download and setup instructions" link, and
if you are a JAWS user you'll also want to find and activate the "I A X
R P T JAWS Scripts" link to download these helpful scripts for JAWS,
generously written and contributed by KN6GAA.
Note: JAWS users will want to install the scripts before opening IAXRPT.
Part 1: If using Clear node and it's app
1. Open Clear Node App, then find and activate the button that mentions
your AllStar node number.
Note: if you don't already have it memorized, find and make a note of
your node's IP address listed on this screen, which you will need to
enter into IAXRPT.
2. Find and activate the "AllStar Setup" button
3. Find and open the edit field called "User IAXRPT Password"
4. If you haven't already entered one, or one wasn't already entered for
you, create and enter one in the blank edit field and make a note of it
as you'll need to enter it into IAXRPT.
I recommend using the same password that you use as your node password,
it can be found in the edit field directly above or before the edit
field you just opened.
If you already have a password that appears in the IAXRPT password
field, then there's no need to enter anything, just make a note of it
and proceed to Part 2.
Part 2: Setting up IAXRPT to connect to your node.
1. Open IAXRPT.
2. Press Alt+O to open the Options Menu, arrow down to Accounts, then
press enter to activate.
This will open the Manage Accounts dialog box.
3. Find and activate the "Add..." button.
4. In the "Account name" field, enter your AllStar node number.
5. In the "Description" field, you can enter anything you like. I
entered "Clear Node".
6. In the "host" field, enter your node's IP address.
7. In the "user name" field, enter "iaxrpt" in lower case and without
the quotes.
8. In the "Password" field, enter the IAXRPT password you either found
or created in the Clear Node App.
In the "confirm" field, re-enter the password you entered in the field
above.
9. In the "type" combo box, choose Duplex, this will enable full duplex
operation.
You can pretty much skip through the remaining options. Note that in my
setup I have the "Show Connection", and "Log to Display", checkboxes
checked.
10. Find and activate the "Save button. If this doesn't take you back to
the main screen, find and activate the "Done" button. This should take
you back to the main screen.
11. Once on the main screen, press Alt+O again but this time arrow down
to and activate "Preferences", this will open the "Preferences dialog box.
12. Find and activate the "Caller ID" tab.
13. In the "Name" field, enter your callsign in all caps.
14. In the "number" field, by default it should be set to "0", if not,
enter 0.
15. Find and activate the "Save button. If this doesn't take you back to
the main screen, find and activate the "Done" button. This should take
you back to the main screen.
16. You are now ready to connect to your node by finding and activating
the "Connect" button.
Note: JAWS users who installed the scripts can press Alt+C to connect
and Alt+D to disconnect, other helpful key commands can be found by
pressing Insert+H. There are other more advanced settings that you'll
eventually explore to adjust things like audio and mic levels.
Good luck, 73.
