Re: NXDN not passing thru to Dstar
It appears to have corrected itself. Tried this morning and audio passing thru all modes! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!

Port address, not IP. As same with each P25 NXDN DMR etc service instance that is on the same server. A separate PORT ADDRESS will be needed for each instance of a service running on the same server. You're typing "port address" when you mean port number. I think that's why you are confusing JJ et al. Assuming they're all running on the same host, they will all use the localhost IP ADDRESS (127.0.0.1), but different PORT NUMBERS. --- Jeff WN3A -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

If only it were so. In the diagram below (if I understand it) you
have NXDN, DMR and YSFn all enabled. That's fine but NXDN is going
to need to point it's TX and RX UDP ports at another mode (or
Analog_Bridge) But only one partner. MMDVM_Bridge does not
mix all the modes and then output to AB. It's a one to one
relationship. Look at DVSwitch.ini:
; Configure the DMR Partner
; Audio format is AMBE 72 bit
[DMR]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 31100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 31103 ; Port to listen on (import)
; Configure the D-Star Partner
; Audio format is AMBE 48 bit (DSAMBE)
[DSTAR]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 32100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 32103 ; Port to listen on (import)
; Configure the NXDN Partner
; Audio format is AMBE 72 bit
[NXDN]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 33100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 33103 ; Port to listen on (import)
; Configure the P25 Partner
; Audio format is IMBE 88 bit
[P25]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 34100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 34103 ; Port to listen on (import)
; Configure the Yaesu Fusion Partner
; Audio format is AMBE 72 bit
; Audio format is IMBE 88 bit
[YSF]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 35100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 35103 ; Port to listen on (import)
For a DMR to NXDN bridge it require to "cross connect the DMR
and NXDN ports like this:
[DMR]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
TXPort = 31100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to
(export)
RXPort = 31103 ; Port to listen on (import)
[NXDN]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV
frames to (export)
TXPort = 31103 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames
to (export)
RXPort = 31100 ; Port to listen on (import)
To mix everything in analog, you will need an ASL node for each
mode. That's 5 copies of AB and 5 ASL nodes on the server. But
I'll say again, you do not want to convert each mode to analog due
to the loss of quality as compared to like vocoders.

They can not be shared unless something has changed that I was

I read "address" as an IP Address which does not need to be
unique at all. All that needs to happen is each mode has an
ASL node which listens for and sends USRP on a given set of
ports. Those ports need to be unique per node, but note the
IP Address.

The only way to bridge USRP across more then 2 connections is with
ASL.
The other issue to consider is that you don't ALWAYS want to go
analog for conversion. Consider this:
DMR, NXDN, YSFn. No conversion required. All 3 are AMBE so it's a
simple cross connected MMDVM single instance for 2 modes.
YSFw and P25. No conversion required. All 3 ar IMBE so it's a simple
cross connected MMDVM single instance for 2 modes.
D-Star is stand alone.
So, for example if you used 2 instances of AB to bridge DMR to NXDN
you would loose quality by going to analog when it's not needed.

Re: Working with MMDVM_Bridge and XLX
Oh, and when I start ircddbgateway up and it links to the XLX - I do get audio from ircddbgateway itself back to analog announcing the connection.. I know it has to be some trivial setting in ircddbgateway but I'm at a loss for what that setting is.
