This would be a radio-less node with Mb connecting with Hblink on a different server… Still need another ASL Node in rpt.conf?

Steve,
No, you do not HAVE to use a private node number for the bridge. In a up and running AllStar node, the public node may be connected to a radio, there you would need a node number for the bridge.

I am updating my ASL to DMR raspberry Pi to a beta version from Downloads.allstarlink.org.

 

In my old configuration I had a private node of 1999. I see there has  been discussion of private nodes recently. Do you need one anymore. A friend who has ASL<>AB<>MB Shared with me his rpt.conf and it does not use a private node. Is there a purpose for a private node? This is my second install as I could not get ASL to talk to AB. Obviously the partners have been upgraded and things do look a little different. I am using md380-emu and not a DV3000. Any help would be appreciated. Stayed up late last night working on it, but started from scratch this morning.

DVSwitch Server plus AllStar image

Re: ASL to DMR Bridge Installation Prob.

I remember some discussion about sound being very choppy on the ASL Buster images a few months ago. No idea what the status of that is now. I'll try it and see what happens.

Patrick,
The install of AllStar from the DVSwitch repository does not support Open Sound System (OSS) which The channel drivers for the USB sound fob requires. We decided that we would not require a custom kernel or older version of Raspbian. Work is being done on updated channel drivers that do not require OSS.

AllStarLink has a RPi image built on Buster with a custom kernel. I have not tested it yet, but I expect it works fine. I don't know what they are doing for i386, AMD64 or ARM64 installs.

Re: banned DVSwitch

Heiko DL1BZ
 

The use of OpenBridge only makes sense if using a system that works like a master (like Hblink). This is not a solution for client systems like DVSwitch mobile. Especially since it only works reliably with static IPs, which users normally do not have. If we speak of a server-2-server connection to create a bridge between two networks, I naturally agree with the choice of Openbridge as the preferred solution, which is exactly what has been implemented for this case.

As a developer, I would currently not want to follow the request of the German sysop team of the BM to move the developers to implement their own Open Terminal protocol. Do we really need that? Another protocol? Especially since it is currently only used by the BM as a result of their own prestige project with BOXCHIP.

Re: Unable to connect to Brandmeister using HBlink #hblink

Unfortunately I cannot test to see if I could ping the master as I deleted the original server when the new one was going.

But as I was receiving back from the master - Repeater Authentication Accepted - I would assume that pinging it would not be a problem.
its something that happens in the next 2 lines  - Repeater Configuration Sent - MSTCL Recieved.
I tried searching to see what MSTCL Recieved means and come up with absolutely nothing.
All I know for certain is the same setup from a different IP works and you do not get back from the master MSTCL Recieved and everything connects as normal.

Can you ping the master from the IP address you think is blocked?

If you are connecting via a peer in hbklink.cfg to Brandmeister you should disconnect it and request an OpenBridge.

While it did work, I just tried a fresh install today and there were debian buster updates and now broken dependent packages.

Re: banned DVSwitch

Thank you very much Steve for the hint. That was exactly my problem.
After changing the Frequencies to Simplex Frequencies I am reaccepted
by Brandmeister and dvswitch is working as perfect as it was before.
Many thanks for a great job you are doing and  I'm waiting impatiently for
the browser interface.

I don't see where the multilink come into play. As far as frequency, unless it's a hotspot, the frequencies are not used. The only reason the frequencies need to be adjusted is that BM is leveraging the frequencies selected to protect from a misconfigured hotspot. We are providing the data the protocol needs in the format it expects it in. There is nothing fake about it. I don't like the politics either but I deal in the real world where politics play a part.

Steve, 
I am with you on this, but the BM team see the MMDVM protocol as a repeater or hotspot client, not as a multilink system. 
And when you put a frequency that is not really in use, for them you are faking it. 

I also don't like all this politics. but I am just a small admin of a small server..

It is not a FAKE repeater connection. It is a MMDVM connection. I've made my feelings clear on the subject and as I've said, we will be supporting ODMRTP in the near future for single user configurations. For multi-user bridges we will continue as we are. If someone needs to add a instance of HB3 between MB and BM, so be it. I will post this again.

If you are connecting to BM, make sure your RX and TX frequency are set to a single frequency.

This is the default:
[Info]
RXFrequency=222340000
TXFrequency=224940000

Change it to:
[Info]
RXFrequency=224940000
TXFrequency=224940000

But still if you ask for an open bridge link you will have it. 

Is that so complicated? Unless you are doing something that is not wanted by the BM group, why try to hide behind a fake repeater connection?

I am doing a link to Brandmeister Canada to Allstarlink and Hamshack Hotline right now, I will follow the rules and on HH I asked for an HHX link (experimental) on Allstarlink they don't have rules to prevent linking to other networks that I know of, So I only requested a Node number and properly identified it. And on Brandmeister I talked to the admin on the Canadian server and he agreed to my project.  Took a whole 30 minute total to deal with this if all the action was put back to back. 

Not a lot of red tape imho. 

If there are rules like that it is because some users don't know what they are doing and create loops between networks. And that causes problems to the stability of the nets. BM is only protecting the networks they worked hard to put in place.
