Been working many days on setting up Asterisk on a new Raspberry Pi.  Everything is going well, up to a point.

I am following the helpful videos on this site from Paul, regarding setting up Asterisk & provisioning the 7940 phones.   All long, I have been careful to follow his steps.

When the configured Cisco 7940 files are uploaded to the TFTPBoot folder on the PI, I carefully go into a 7940 and steer it to the PI's correct IP address (for the TFTP server IP), I am receiving a "File not found   SEP#######"

The weird part is that the letters SEP (above) is not a typo.  I realize that Paul's instruction is for the configuration of a CNF file starting with the letters SIP.

Regardless, even if I copy the correct SIP file and rename it to start with SEP, the same issue happens.

What is going wrong where this won't work?  I'm completely and utterly stumped, even to the point of scrapping the whole thing and building everything from the ground-up again.  Same results.

Please, please help.

I thank you kindly!  Cheers, blessings, and 73!

Hey Guys, (newly) Macomb County resident here. I expect to have a node up and running in Q1 2017. I plan to eventually have an rPi based file server attached with useful emergency information, as well as a VOIP phone and/or server(Asterisk or otherwise). This is all mainly for my own curiousity/enjoyment, but it may be useful for someone. I also plan to attach an Outernet satellite receiver to offer up their curated content.

I'd also like to be able to create a duplicate portable setup, as I am part of the Livonia CERT, and this could be useful in a huge disaster (sometimes we could operate multiple incident command posts for a similar area). I'm part of the Livonia Amateur Radio Club, and perhaps I can convince them to add a node to our repeater location such that there would be a more central place to connect to.

If you're interested, look me up on QRZ and shoot me an email. I'm sure we could use more local nodes (the map is hopefully not up to date!)

We're holding a RI area mesh meeting on Saturday December 10th at 10:30 am. The location is Ladd Observatory at Brown University. The street address is 210 Doyle Ave. Providence RI 02906.

We'll be meeting about once a month. The next one will be in mid January and we'll post the details here in about a week.

If there's anyone near Rhode Island we're starting to get a quite a few nodes on-line. We're also using the VPN tunnels to connect remote locations throughout the state. Feel free to ping us if you'd like to learn more.

After a bit of a hiatus we've resumed working on the Providence mesh. We now have a number of VPN tunnels connecting isolated nodes throughout Rhode Island.

This month we're working on a point to point link across the west side of Providence from my W9GYR node on Manton Ave. in Olneyville to KD1HA on Atwells Ave. near downtown. We've got a good line of site across about 1.3 miles. I'm getting a signal but it is too weak to form a stable link. I'll be swapping the antenna out this weekend to improve the signal quality.

If anyone is interested in joining please feel free to contact me. We'll be meeting informally every couple of weeks through the end of the year and then schedule a meeting in January to help get anyone new involved.
