:'''Q''': How many nodes can DIAL support?
+
:'''Q''': Can DIAL be installed on an existing Linux install, for example on a VM running Debian?
:'''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 Raspberry Pi 3 would be good for 2 USB nodes.
+
:'''A''': Installing from the DIAL image will be easier and faster. But if you have no other option you could do this:
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
cd /tmp
 +
wget https://github.com/AllStarLink/DIAL/raw/master/repository/install-repository
 +
chmod +x /install-repository
 +
./install-repository
 +
apt-get install allstarlink -y
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
:'''Q''': Will DIAL run on Windows?
 +
:'''A''': No, DIAL is a Linux application.
 +
 
 +
:'''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 initial 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.
    
:'''Q''': How is a DIAL Node configured?  
 
:'''Q''': How is a DIAL Node configured?  
 
:'''A''': Briefly, a single node configuration is straight forward. The install will walk you through a first time setup of your node by asking you a number of questions. You'll need to have created an AllStar account, created a server, requested a node number and have your node's password.
