You must enable SimpleUSB.so to load in modules.conf first.

When configuring your simpleusb radio node you '''''MUST''''' ensure that the name of the radio is the same in both rpt.conf and simpleusb.conf.

The system looks inside the file SimpleUSB.conf for the match of the node# to be configured (i.e. usb_1234).
    
Node names are in format of ''usb_<nodenumber>''.  Where <nodenumber> = the AllStar Link node of your system.  ''Note that usb and the node number are separated by an underscore (_) character.''

If you are reusing the simpleusb.conf file from an older installation (i.e., ACID), take special note of the change in naming.  chan_simpleusb may not work without first making this change to your simpleusb.conf file.

Additional note on parallel port pin numbers:
 +
 
 +
When you are looking at the pp# addressing, the actual hardware pin numbers are in computer natural logical format.
 +
So hardware pin " D0 " on lpt port is = to pp1 in the software setup and so hardware pin " D7 " is = pp8
 +
 
 +
"0" is the first number to a computer as seen at the bios and/or hardware addressing.
 +
Be sure you are testing/setting/attaching the correct pin number. D0 - D7 = pp1 - pp8
