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: Dashboard no Workie
If you modify a config file for a apt package, in this case
lightttpd, then on upgrade, apt will ask if you want to keep your
file or use the config file included in the apt package.

Is there a quick way to rebuild lighttpd?
I'm back to revisit this problem (on a different server now). lighttpd status tells failed to start and I've noticed the conf file under /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf is missing. Thanks for any help, Will

Re: Restarting DVSwitch Services
Dave,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
There are two ways to switch servers: 1: edit MMDVM_Bridge.ini and restart MMDVM_Bridge 2: With a tune command: "password@server:port:options" TGIF = "passw0rd@...:62031" Brandmeister = "passw0rd@...:62031" DMR_PLUS = "passw0rd@...:55555:StartRef=4649;RelinkTime=60;UserLink=1" Hope this helps, Steve N4IRS

Re: Restarting DVSwitch Services

Hi Steve, After investigating further, the issue only occurs when switching server using the DVSM App. Switching server in the “dvs” menu updates the MMDVM_Bridge.ini file with the selected address, but not when making the selection using DVSM App. Regards, Dave

Re: Restarting DVSwitch Services
g8ptn@...
Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I understand how to select the server in dvs menus.
1. Brandmeister 2. TGIF
3. HB_GB_FreeDMR_DMO The servers I am currently using are 1 and 3. What I have observed is that after selecting 1 (Brandmeister), restarting services via the "dvs" menu “Restart DVSwitch Services” or using the “Drop Dynamic TGs” in the DVSM App, the DMR server always returns to the “HB_GB_FreeDMR_DMO” server. After further inspection, following “Restart DVSwitch Services” or using the “Drop Dynamic TGs”, the server is set to the address defined in the MMDVM_Bridge.ini file (see extract below). [DMR Network] Enable=1 Address=hotspots.freedmr.uk Port=62031 I am not sure if this is an issue now DVSwitch server is in “Advanced Macro Configuration” mode, since I initially noticed the issue when using the “Drop Dynamic TGs” in the DVSM App. It seems that the MMDVM_Bridge.ini is not updated with the selected server address, but I am not sure if this was the case or not prior to switching to the “Advanced Macro Configuration” mode. This is not a major issue since now I know what is happening, I can manually switch server following a restart of the services.

Re: MMDVM_Bridge [INFO] for brandmeister
#brandmeister
#mmdvm_bridge
After setting both Power & Height to 0 in MMDVM_Bridge.ini , I was able to change both the "Priority Message" and "Description" on the Brandmeister website.
Good lesson learned here. As always, thanks for everyone's help.

Re: Restarting DVSwitch Services
You can define the default DMR server using the dvs menu.

Sorry I asked. As I said, you should be able to edit the fields.
Good luck.

URL=http://qrz.com/db/w3twa I asked Brandmeister support how do I get "Priority Message" and "Description" to populate? (I'm unable to edit those fields). They replied... The information in all those greyed out fields is taken from the hotspot to BM. You need to edit that in the hotspot software and it will be updated on BM then. What additional settings need to be in the [INFO] section? Description, height, Power are already in there but don't seem to pass the information.

Yes, that is the example string used in HamVoIP, which generates
a GSM file on the node setup script.

That's just a default example which was never changed to something
useful by whoever installed that node.
