== Ensure the nodelist is downloading ==
 +
Before your node will connect it needs to have the nodelist available.  This file will automatically be downloaded by systems support scripts and placed into /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_nodes.
   −
You will need to forward port 4569 on your ISP modem. As there are many brands and modems, it is not possible to show a step to step guide.
+
If for some reason your node never downloads the nodelist, it may mean you are missing the required support scripts and configuration.
   −
At this point your node should be up and running.
+
=== Add missing NodeUpdate.sh and NodeNameUpdate.sh scripts ===

Copy the following if you are missing the scripts below in /usr/local/bin and do not have contab entries that call them
