Welcome to DVSwitch
DVSwitch is a set of tools and programs related to provisioning and operating Amateur Radio digital voice networks.
Purpose
The purpose of DVSwitch is as follows:
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).

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
Our stated position is:
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.

No,

It does not matter. Delete netcheck, reboot, wait 5 minutes, post netcheck.

It looks like MB is starting fine. Maybe the dashboard is confused. Try this: delete /var/log/netcheck reboot login via ssh and as root: systemctl status mmdvm_bridge post the results and post the contents ov /var/log/netcheck Steve

You did not need to reconfigure the system. That is good. Now the question is, why is MB not starting properly. Once you reboot and before you restart MB, grab the log and post it. Steve N4IRS

I then restarted the MMDVM_Bridge which had the status OK in green (from the Monit page) and this time the system went back online. IK7VXC Mike PS Please instruct on how to provide the AB and MB files. Thank you

Re: DVSwitch server shutdown
Well,

I would like to see the MB, and AB files before and after a reboot. When you say does not come up completely, is that because you can't login or the services are not starting?

Mike,

There is no reason you should have to run the configuration script because you reboot.

Sorry Steve but that trick doesn't work. At reboot I still get the red light on the dashboard (see pic https://ibb.co/bvndwQb) and need to go through the Initial Configuration script again. Oh well .. I guess I'll have to leave it on 24/7 .. I can live with that.

That just puts us back. You have my suggestion. Suggesting a fresh install is not something I do lightly.
