Use your computer and a browser such as Chrome, go to allstarlink.org and click on the “Logon/Sign up” Tab. A small Allstar Account Logon screen will appear. Click on the “Sign Up” link at the bottom of this smaller screen.
Read the information on the screen that appears and click on “Begin Registration.”

You will receive a validation email to the email address you used to create your Allstarlink page. You must click on the link in the email to validate your email address. so that your account can be validated. Check your email spam filter if you do not receive this validation email.
Go to allstarlink.org web portal and logon with your callsign and password that you used to create your account.
First, you need to create a server.
Click on the Portal tab.
In the pull-down menu, click on Server Settings.
Click on Proceed with Server Setup.
Fill in all the information:
Server Name – The server name is your node network name.
I like to use “MYCITY-AllStar Link Server” as the server name but you can call it whatever you like.
Server location – City, State is what most people use.
Affiliation – Optional entry.
IAX Port – Leave this at 4569
Proxp IP – Normally blank. Optional
Site – “Home,” “CAR 1,” Garage” are examples for the site field.
Note: Server Latitude and Longitude numbers will be automatically populated if you click on the Red pin on the map and drag it to the location of your server.
Once you have entered all your information in the fields you will need to click on the Submit button below the map. ( you may have to wait 1-24 hours for this to be established)
Once you established your Server, you will need to request a node number. This will be the node number you use for your Node.
Click on the Portal tab. In the pull-down menu, click on Node Settings.
Click on the Request a new node number button.
The next screen will prompt you to select the server to which the node is assigned. If you have only one server, the server you just created, it will appear in the selection box.
If you have more than one server, the selection box is a drop-down selector. Select the appropriate server and click on the Continue button.
Confirm you are adding to the correct server and choose Submit.
If you get success you are good to go. Click OK and it will take you to your node screen.
NOTE: You get up to 10 additional nodes. Many people lock in their 10 in one go instead of waiting each time. but this is a personal choice. I request it as I need it.
You can now log out of the AllstarLink.org web portal.
