You have a couple of choices:

(1) re-paste the entire Insteon PLM code back into that code group, replacing the pronto codes that bled into that section.

(2) install 0810, and re-paste that code into that code group, to make sure everything is clean.

The alphas have been very stable for us, and solve a lot of problems. We are NOT doing ANY more development on 0710 at all, and no more updates will be given for it. The sqlCVS database for it has also been capped off.

You guys are referring to pasting the ruby code into the various numerical sections of the template right?  It's odd that I leterally just did that and I'm getting this result.

@ Hari, I have no idea what an outfile is.  Can you elaborate?

I'm not thrilled about what you're suggesting Thom.  Trading one solution for potential countless other bugs on an alpha does not sound like a sane move for me.

I'd actually recommend a HAVA.  I don't know that Sling, Squeeze or Hava have proper integration with MCE but talk on the forums is that Hava has the most potential.  I have one.  I love it.

So there's no fix for it in 710?  I really don't want to wait a year for 810 RC to come out before I can solve this problem.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but here is my experience, I got my basic Insteon setup working on my Hybrid (7.10) using PC serial port, by following the wiki instructions "http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Setting_Up_PLM_Template" step by step and cleaning the Ruby code first before I pasted in the template, by copying the code from the wiki page to a text file, removing some html code, then I pasted the code from the text file to the template, and I removed code  #141 ruby code(CD/DVD) from the template, after rebooting my Hybrid, and linking my "Insteon Outlinc" to my PLM (Serial port), another Hybrid reboot, then I added a lamp to the floor map, and I was able to turn On/Off the lamp which is connected to Insteon Outlinc "http://www.insteon.net/2473SWH-outletlinc.html".

currently i'm trying the same configuration on 8.10 hybrid using default insteon PLM template, with "USB to Serial adapter", I replaced "/dev/ttyS0" on the default template with "/dev/ttyUSB0" with no luck, I know my "/dev/ttyUSB0" is working using

/usr/pluto/bin/TestSerialPort -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -P N81 -b 19200 -t "\02\60" ,

I saw the output on my protocol analyzer.

Any suggestion really appreciated,
Charlie,

I gave your suggestion a shot and completely deleted and reconfigured the PLM for the second time, following the wiki page, Insteon - setting up the PLM template, and 'running the Insteon PLM Driver for the first time.'  I'm not seeing activity in the activity log, other than this:

I'm at a loss.   I've only got two COM ports listed, /dev/ttyS0 (which I have selected) and pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0+2 Used by USB UIRT 0038.

I'm ready to switch my automation over to Windows I'm so frustrated.  I'll give anyone a look at my box that's willing and would certainly appreciate some suggestions.  This one is beyond my grasp.

I'm having similar problems getting Insteon child devices to respond.  I have a lamp module that I can't seem to get to work.  I have followed the wiki, including the 'next steps' section which includes pairing the first device.  I am struggling to get a grasp on Insteon and would appreciate any help.

I'm stuck at the same point.  Any advice or directions on log locations that can be used would be appreciated.  I have a standard Insteon lamp module that I'm trying to get to work with the PLM that I've configured according to the wiki.

It should be noted that current versions of FreePBX / Trixbox have the ability to restrict registrations by ip/subnet.  This feature can be found on the extension settings page.
Solving this problem could be done by updating the version of FreePBX included.  I know that is not as simple as it sounds but it might be the best course of action.

Users / Stop asterisk from being hijacked

« on: April 23, 2009, 08:39:52 pm »

There is currently a lot of malicious activity being targeted at asterisk phone systems.  In the default settings, it's easy to find an unregistered extension and take over that extension.  In the case of LinuxMCE, the extension and the 'secret' registration password are the same.

It's fairly easy to throw random registration attempts at the box and wait for a good response.

blocking external SIP traffic with a firewall with not work because you would also be blocking legit registrations to SIP providers you have accounts with.

How can the 'secret' phone registration password be changed on devices like orbiter embedded phones so that when they're off, no one else can assume the role just by matching extension and password?

It's fairly easy to change the 'secret' on SIP devices but I cannot find the password location in the orbiter embedded devices.  Of course, one can change the EXTENSION password on the asterisk side by accessing the phone config but this will break service to the orbiter as it will no longer be able to register without the correct password.

Is anyone successfully using the onboard video with this mobo?

I went out and bought this board.  I built a diskless MD with it.  I can confirm that Seth's fix for the Realtek drivers did in fact work.

However, I can not get the onboard video to stay up for more that 5 minutes.  It is, after all an ATI chipset.  This is somewhat disappointing.  I would prefer to not have to go buy additional hardware.  Any suggestions?  If not, what cards are you guys using?

I would like to use this board as a diskless MD.  It looks like the solutions referenced above require both an internal HDD and an OS.  How can I get the board to PXE boot from the core?  Seth's instructions reference loading drivers so I guess that needs to be done on the core and it will then be able to handle the NIC on the remote MD.  Is that correct?

This feature would require the ability to add custom modules from the pbx GUI (or edit some of the config files directly).  Adding modules is blocked / removed in 710.

At this point I am using a gyro mouse and clicking on 'guide' on the left menu while watching TV.  However, I have also tried the guide button from the media center remote.
