After flashing FrostyGMRS_V2.img to your SD card and booting into your Raspberry Pi, Supermon 7.4 and Skywarn Plus are pre-installed on your FrostyGMRS node.

Follow the steps below to complete setup:

Step 1: Open the ASL Menu

sudo asl-menu

Use the ASL menu to configure your FrostyGMRS node number instead of manually editing Asterisk config files.

Step 2: Set Your FrostyGMRS Node Number

In asl-menu, go to the node setup section and change the default node number from 1999 to your assigned FrostyGMRS node number.

This updates the needed Asterisk settings automatically.

Step 3: Save Changes in ASL Menu

Save your changes and exit asl-menu once your FrostyGMRS node number has been set.

Step 4: Restart Asterisk

sudo astres.sh

Step 5: Configure AMI (manager.conf)

cd /etc/asterisk
sudo nano manager.conf

[admin]
secret = YOUR_AMI_PASSWORD
permit = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read   = all
write  = all

sudo astres.sh

Step 6: Configure Supermon (allmon.ini)

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo nano allmon.ini

; Replace with your node number and AMI password
[YOUR_NODE_NUMBER]
host   = 127.0.0.1:5038
user   = admin
passwd = YOUR_AMI_PASSWORD
menu   = yes
hideNodeURL = no

[All Nodes]
nodes = YOUR_NODE_NUMBER
menu  = yes

Step 7: Update Supermon Landing Page Node Number

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo nano index.php

Change 1999 in /var/www/html/supermon/index.php to your actual FrostyGMRS node number.

Step 8: Protect Supermon Login

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo rm -f .htpasswd
sudo htpasswd -cB .htpasswd <userID>
sudo htpasswd -B .htpasswd <otherID>

Step 9: Customize Supermon Display (Optional)

cd /var/www/html/supermon
sudo nano global.inc

// Change the items between quotes only:
$CALL     = "YOUR_CALL";
$NAME     = "YOUR NAME";
$LOCATION = "YOUR LOCATION";

Step 10: Access Dashboard and Verify

http://frostygmrs.local/supermon

Step 11: Configure Supermon Node Info (Optional)

This optional file controls weather display and status information on the Supermon dashboard.

sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/node_info.ini

Example format:

[general]
NODE = node_number(s)
WX_CODE = zip/airport
WX_LOCATION = City, State
TEMP_UNIT = F

Step 12: Configure Skywarn Plus

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/SkywarnPlus/config.yaml

SKYWARNPLUS:
  Enable: true

Asterisk:
  Nodes:
    - YOUR_NODE_NUMBER

Alerting:
  CountyCodes:
    - YOUR_COUNTY_CODE
  SayAlert: true
  SayAllClear: true
  TimeType: onset

Tailmessage:
  Enable: true

Step 13: Restart Skywarn Plus

sudo systemctl restart skywarnplus
