Well, my Cisco skills are lacking, but I want to connect 3 or 4 Quantars to an ATAC for mixed mode operation. I have been to W9CRs WIKI, and it was informative, but only has what appears to be the ATAC located Cisco programming. Is there anyone out there that can help me with an example remote site Cisco setup?

Thanks

I just looked at his Wiki and found the Cisco config. He’s just doing DMVPN. Look at this post I did last night. If I get time later I’ll do a write up in that thread on what all the commands do.

That would be awesome. But, as a networking noob, I think figuring out IPs and Subnets and the like is something I can do, more than that, likely not. Was hoping to get the Cisco programming for the central Cisco, which connected to the ATAC, and the remote Ciscos, connected to the Quantars. With that, I can adjust the configs for the various addresses, WIC/Serial cards, and the like.

I have a working config file for a single Quantar to cisco to internet to cisco to ATAC.

I'll trying to go one step further and put 3 Quantars on one cisco router. But my cisco fu is very lacking. So I'm looking for help there.

I have a working config file for a single Quantar to cisco to internet to cisco to ATAC and the hub at the ATAC.

Let me know if you would like the configuration. When I get home I can msg or email them to you. They may be a bit big to put on here. Especially the hub with 17 Quantar connections and one pi connection for Quantar Bridge.

If you'll send me what you're doing for the one and a diagram of what you want to do I can modify the configs to get what you need.

Any and all help is much appreciated. Would love to stay as close to my use case as possible. So, a single Quantar (both analog and digital) to Cisco to internet to hub Cisco and the hub from several Quantars to to several ports on the ATAC would be the best, for me at least.

Thanks

Ok from my understanding and quick read of that wiki it's serial using STUN for the remote Quantar to the ATAC, statically mapped in a 1:1 configuration (ie: Quantar #1 maps to ATAC Port #1, Quantar #2 to ATAC Port #2, etc). And then you need that to ride the Internet (looks like most people are using DMVPN for protection of the STUN traffic).

What router models do you have? I need to know because commands for IOS are different from IOS XE in a few cases and we are in that weird state where some boxes run IOS and some run XE.

A couple things I can send that. But you will only get digital through the routers and ATAC. If you want analog you have to go through the 50 pin telco plug on the back of the repeater. And that will only work analog on that repeater with digital going to all repeaters.

Hope that makes sense. I've done that I can give you the pins you need to connect on the 50 pin telco plug when I get home.

Assuming it's just E&M we can connect that to a E&M VIC and then use the old Multicast based Hoot-n-Holler config that will enable us to link them together. My fed customers use that for RoIP bridging.

I also think that's how Bryan (W9CR) does it.

In the midst of obtaining 2811 for the Quantar to Hub, and 3845 for the hub.

I just sent KK4ZMG the first round of tweaks to run on his config to verify the multipoint STUN.

@wiredwrx - You mentioned a 2811 and 3845 which means we are using IOS which is good. I assume you have multiple quantars at multiple sites connected to multiple 2811s all phoning home to the 3845 connected to the ATAC?

That's exactly right. Currently 3 remote Quantars but will likely (hopefully) increase later.
