:'''Q''': How many nodes can DIAL support?

:'''A''': It depends on the hardware. A high power intel box may support 25 or mode RTCM clients. A the other end of the spectrum, a Rasperry Pi 3 would be good for 2 USB nodes.

:'''Q''': How do I login to DIAL once it is installed?

:'''A''': With earlier versions of DIAL you can login as user debian with a password of debian (normal user) or loging as root with a password of debian (super user). This has been deprecated. The current version has the root account blocked from network login and it's "locked" from the console login. You must login as user repeater and sudo root commands. The inital user  login ID is '''repeater''' with a password of '''allstarlink'''. When you login the first time you will be forced to change the password. The user repeater has sudo rights. You can then continue the customization process. To enable console root login you will need to set a password for user root.
