Welcome to DVSwitch
Purpose
1) Allows “local” networking during an outage of the regional national/international network server.
2) Allows a local network operator to “blend” upstream feeds from different Networks (capital N on purpose). These Networks can’t get their act together and learn how to play nice with each other (everyone guilty as far as we are concerned). They may not like people doing this, but the solution is to grow up and work with each other, and not keep trying to force people to take sides.
3) Allows local segregation of localized traffic with more flexibility.
4) Allows experimentation with linking and how it’s done (part 97 specifies experimentation and advancement of the radio art are a core part of amateur radio).
Mission Statement/Position
WHEREAS the Networks continue to be largely islands and are not working together to create a unified network of Networks.
WHEREAS no firm reason has been given by any of the Networks why a *competent* local network operator cannot make this work effectively.
(US ONLY)
WHEREAS 47 CFR 97 (Amateur Radio Service) specifies that a core component of amateur radio is experimentation and advancement of the radio art [97.1(b)].
BE IT RESOLVED the core group of US amateur radio operators and experimenters organized around the DVSwitch project, and in the spirit of USA 47 CFR 97 and its intentions, support the *responsible* and *thoughtful* use of digital voice networking tools to create localized networks that will interconnect to the national/international Networks, and will support users of its tools in order to do this in the most effective and sustainable way possible.
Re: Configuring DVSwitch Mobile to access own AllStarLink node
Both the ASL and HAMVOIP examples do not use the IAXRPT stanza, The
ASL uses iaxclient and the HAMVOIP example uses joe-bobs-account
That is the sample you should use. Yes, in both cases for DVSM, the
type is friend. IAXRPT is used for the Windows client.

ASL uses the iax-client stanza in extensions.conf and HAMVOIP uses android-iaxrpt Since you are using HAMVOIP, I would suggest you use the sample laid out in the document. Steve N4IRS

Re: Configuring DVSwitch Mobile to access own AllStarLink node
This is the section where the 1998 needed to be changed to my node number:
I can show you the logs. Where will I find the log files in the dir structure? I did some more troubleshooting and it seems to be related to the type setting. When I change type=user to "friend" in the iax.conf [iaxrpt] stanza it will allow the app to connect using the iaxrpt user without throwing an error suggesting that there may be some issue with using the app to connect as a "user." Not sure the implications of that. Example:

Re: Configuring DVSwitch Mobile to access own AllStarLink node
Without seeing the logs, iax.conf and extensions.conf there is not
much I can do to help. I don't know what line 60 says.

Re: Configuring DVSwitch Mobile to access own AllStarLink node
I think I figured it out. Two things:
1. DV Switch mobile app seems to only connect when using the [myphone-iaxrpt] stanza as the username. It will not connect to [iaxrpt]. It throws an invalid password or stanza. I verified the password so it is some other option. 2. I changed Line 60 of extensions.conf from 1998 to my node number. After doing that, I was able to connect without the "node 199..." disconnect error state.

What is in the asterisk log when you connect?

This looks to be how they are configured and I am still getting the "node 199..." and disconnect. Has anyone verified that these instructions work with the latest HamVOIP img? I am on the same LAN so I don't think ports would be an issue.

Sorry,

I though you said AllStarLink. This is from HAMVOIP. <https://hamvoip.org/howto/iaxrpt-config.pdf>

Thanks, I followed those instructions and now I am able to at least get the app to recognize the node. However, when I click connect in the app, I hear "node 199..." from the phone speaker and then it gets cut off and there is a tone. It never actually completes the connection. FYI, the node is a stock HamVOIP that I just re-flashed so everything is default except for the stanza I added to iax.conf per the wiki.

did you set the talk group on brandmeister as static? if not it will
not stay connected.

Re: ASL to DMR - not receiving inbound traffic
Gerry Filby
Thanks for the response Brad !
I tried that and it stopped working altogether. I looked in /opt/MMDV_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini and TX/RX are defined: [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) Slot = 2 ; Export slot ExportTG = 0 ; Which TG to export TalkerAlias = Roger Nowhere Il. DVSWITCH So I'm assuming that needs to be reversed in Analog_Bridge.ini ? - Tx goes to Rx and visa versa: [AMBE_AUDIO] address = 127.0.0.1 ; IP address of xx_Bridge txPort = 31103 ; Transmit TLV frames to partner on this port rxPort = 31100 ; Listen for TLV frames from partner on this port ambeMode = DMR ; DMR, DMR_IPSC, DSTAR, NXDN, P25, YSFN, YSFW (encode PCM to this format) minTxTimeMS = 2500 ; Minimum time in MS for hang delay (0-10000) I'm getting traffic from the TG 91, but only if I momentarily click my PTT on the analog side whilst a 3rd party is speaking in the TG. If the 3rd party in the TG stops an restarts their over, I don't resume receiving their traffic from the TG. g

This is a work in progress of the new web (HTML) client. We have no release date and the program has not even gone into beta test yet. I'll post update info here when available.

Re: Dashboard for multiple instances in DVSwitch
Problem solved. I followed this great article : https://n2rac.com/dmr-digital-amateur-radio-setup-several-instances-dvswitch-server-3694caaf6bf1 # cp /opt/Web_Proxy/ /opt/Web_Proxy2/ -r
# cp /lib/systemd/system/webproxy.s
And edit recursively all "version 2" .php files (starting from index2.php) to point at second instance's locations and also all .php files references to "version 2" .php

Re: ASL to DMR - not receiving inbound traffic
Gerry in your Analog_bridge.ini under Ambe_Audio set your ports to
tx=31100 Rx=31103 then it will work
