Welcome to DVSwitch

I am working on a script that will log a timestamps and callsign to a text file. I can't figure out how to get the callsign of the station that is broadcasting. Setting it as a variable for use in bash would be really cool, but at this point I would even be happy with a one liner writing it to a TMP .txt file.

Could anyone suggest how to get the callsign from the command line when the RX begins?

Greetings.

I have had a DMR-P25 DVSWITCH running succesfully for a few months.

About a week ago the brandmeister connection dropped off and I am seeing

M: 2020-01-29 06:31:49.848 DMR, Closing DMR Network
M: 2020-01-29 06:31:49.850 DMR, Opening DMR Network
E: 2020-01-29 06:31:59.909 DMR, Login to the master has failed, retrying network
 ...
M: 2020-01-29 06:31:59.911 DMR, Closing DMR Network
M: 2020-01-29 06:31:59.912 DMR, Opening DMR Network
E: 2020-01-29 06:32:09.968 DMR, Login to the master has failed, retrying network

I am told the password is incorrect, but nothing has changed and it is set to "passw0rd" in the MMDVM_Bridge.ini, which is correct for the master.

Any way to capture the connection request string that is being sent so I can see if something weird is going on?

thanks

This is a DMR<->NXDN. I wasn't sure if the MD380 server was needed, so I put it in there anyway. I read it wasn't needed for DMR/NXDN/YSF but I intend on added P25 to the Mix at some point and believed it would be needed then. I mapped out all my ports on paper before putting this in place.

Here is my DVSwtich config :

[DMR]
Address = 127.0.0.1             ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
TXPort = 31015                  ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
RXPort = 31014                  ; Port to listen on (import)
Slot = 2                        ; Export slot


[NXDN]
Address = 127.0.0.1             ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
TXPort = 31017                  ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
RXPort = 31016                  ; Port to listen on (import)
FallbackID = 34000            ; In case we can not find a valid DMR id in the da                                                                                               tabase, export this one
NXDNFallbackID  = 34000         ; Use this ID when the input DMR ID is not found                                                                                                in the database
Translate = 31360=31360           ; Translate NXDN TG < -- > DMR TG (bidirection                                                                                               al)
Slot = 2                        ; Export slot

So in troubleshooting, I came in from the NXDN side and and was able to hit MMDVM_Bridge:

M: 2020-01-29 00:52:16.252 NXDN, received network transmission from N2WNS to TG 31360
M: 2020-01-29 00:52:16.761 DMR, TX state = ON
I: 2020-01-29 00:52:16.761 DMR, Begin TX: src=3134293 rpt=310998 dst=31660 slot=2 cc=1 metadata=N2WNS
M: 2020-01-29 00:52:19.529 NXDN, received network end of transmission, 3.4 seconds
M: 2020-01-29 00:52:19.534 DMR, TX state = OFF, DMR frame count was 55 frames

But there was nothing on the DMR side. This tells me there is something a miss in the RTP traffic. Below are my two analog bridges:

DMR<->Analog:

; Analog_Bridge configuration file.
;   This file should be placed in either /etc or it can be
;   supplied as a path on the Analog_Bridge command line.

; The best way to think of this file is that there are two main sections, the USRP (analog audio) and
; AMBE_AUDIO (compressed audio).  Analog_Bridge will take everything sent to the USRP port and
; encode it for transmission on the AMBE_AUDIO port.  The encoder will use the format defined in ambeMode.
; As you might expect, the reverse direction is defined too.

I'm running one instance of the MD380 server.

Am I missing something here?
