Just a sugestion.. a beginning..
by Jerry 13 Mar '13

Just have them login once a year and reup their registration.. Like they make you do for repeater coordination.. Allow a 90 day grace period and then lock it for 30 days if still no contact they obviously have abandon it.. or will return when they realize it is down.. Time frames I suggest are just that. That way no notice, no email reminders, no bother to the system or anyone.. They must login or get booted... Not trying to be mean.. but lets say ham A has died.. The portal may never know this... Lets say they changed email, no email reminder will ever reach them.. Let's say they lost interest, even an email or post card could simply get ignored.. If it's simple and the system can send an email to the Last Known Good email at say 11 Months... Fine.. Or make it a rolling 12 months from last login to the portal.. But no need to make it any more than simple.. Let's keep its K.I.S.S 73 Sorry working late and bored.. lol -----Original Message----- From: 44net-bounces+n9lya=blueriver.net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu [mailto:44net-bounces+n9lya=blueriver.net@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of lleachii(a)aol.com Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 4:37 PM To: 44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu Subject: Re: [44net] Portal registrations (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Bill, WA7NWP, I'm not sure this is best suggestion for many reasons: - There was a discussion a few weeks back where it was determined that all stations do not necessarily run telnet (while having others test connectivity to my station, some were attempting to telnet to me). For example, my station is not a TNOS/JNOS based router, and therefore does not provide Converse (the telnet-based service we're referring to) by default. Under that guideline, my allocation would be purged. - We also determined that, while all stations should make their IP addresses ping-able, that was not necessarily the case (either by intent or error). - For various reasons, AMPRNet allocations may not necessarily be online or available through AMPR - A Station does not necessarily have to download the encap to have a working allocation (one could manually add static routes from the portal list or use RIP44, for example) - It would be impossible to use the download guideline for those using the RIP44 routing protocol, as it is multicast; and doesn't know what stations are receiving it or using it We have to be mindful that all stations may not be identically configured, use the same Operating Systems, routing protocols nor system configurations to accomplish connectivity to AMPRNet. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG On 03/12/2013 03:00 PM, 44net-request(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu wrote: > Automate it for now and the future...

DNS entries

I've lost track of the status of the portal functionality. We have a block of addresses allocated to our county network (44.4.50.0/28). I also have two addresses allocated for my personal machines (44.4.2.152, 44.4.2.153) But when I log into the portal I see no active records. At some point will the existing records appear in the portal when I log in? Thanks N6MEF

I don't understand how I can allocate anything out of 44.135.0.0/16 Since I still can allocate host out of Ampr host robot at UCSD. You need a guide for this website ----- Reply message ----- From: "Brian Kantor" <Brian(a)ucsd.edu> To: "AMPRNet working group" <44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu> Subject: [44net] Portal registrations Date: Mon, Mar 11, 2013 13:20 (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ It's especially important for the area coordinators to get themselves registered as such with the portal. I think that in a few months we'll just have to consider any regions with no registered coordinator as abandoned by their former coordinators. Similarly with gateways: at some time in the future gateways which aren't registered with the portal will have to be dropped from the encap file. People with existing allocations should make sure that their own allocation is registered with the portal, if necessary by going through the portal allocation process. If you do this, be sure to include a note that it's a re-registration of an existing allocation. - Brian _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net http://www.ampr.org/donate.html

encamp file emailed on change
by Chris Smith 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi All, FYI - There was a bug in the code that emailed out the encap file to anyone that had the "only when changed" option set, resulting in the encap file not being emailed at all to them. The bug has now been identified and fixed, so if anyone wants to receive an emailed copy of the encap file only when anything has changed, please login to the portal and click on: "Gateways" -> "Options" and alter the "Frequency" to "Only when changed". If you do not wish to receive an email copy of the encap file, please ensure that the "Email" field on this same page is blank. Thanks, Chris

Co-ordinators new functionality on the portal
by Chris Smith 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Following requests from co-ordinators, I have added some additional functionality to the portal. If you are a country or regional co-ordinator you now have an extra menu link "IP Allocations" from where you can view / edit all the subnets you have allocated. 73 Chris - G1FEF

Portal languages
by Chris Smith 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

The portal has all the visible text in a separate language file, so can very easily be translated into other languages, but I need some willing volunteers! So, if anyone is willing to create and maintain alternative languages for the portal, please could they drop me an email. I know a couple of people did mention this in the past, but if you could get in touch again, I am now ready to deploy the language files. Thanks, Chris

KK6CND [Chris Foreman], Please resubmit your allocation request to the AMPR portal. I forgot to allocate a proper IP address to your previous request. -- Geoff Joy - ke6qh - AmprNet IP Address Coordinator for San Bernardino & Riverside Counties. geoff(a)windomeister.com
