I was following the instruction as listed and you need to add a extra reboot 'after' the install.
dvs was not responding with menu..
(for future reference)
Thanks

Still wonder where the script was hiding. Could not find it.

Thanks Steve

I'll give it a try..I have up to 12 channels of vocoding available if needed, I was hoping to just use the DV 3003 USB I have a couple of them That gives me 2 channels each. I also have a 6 channel vocoder that I can use if needed.

It's located at another IP address , Both the XLX and the new install of DVSwitch will be sitting at Vultr in Chicago after I get the old configuration moved over.

That's why I wanted to do the Dstar at this time, I thought it would be better to do it all at once.

I think I understand how it's done ?

I believe I saw where I can direct DS to the ip address of the vocoder in the config files, I have the vocoder ambed setup to point at the vultr IP and DVSwitch when I have it configured. Wish me luck!!

Again I appreciate your knowledgeable help and wonderful product and support!

So, D-Star is going to require a transcoder. We use 2 instances of Analog_Bridge to create the transcoder. It will look like this:

D-Star Reflector <-> ircddbGateway <-> MMDVM_Bridge_DS <-> Analog_Bridge_DS <-> Analog_Bridge_DMR <-> DMR Master

MMDVM_Bridge_DS and MMDVM_Bridge_DMR are a single instance of MMDVM_Bridge
Analog_Bridge_DS and Analog_Bridge_DMR are two instances of Analog_Bridge
Analog_Bridge_DS is configured for D-Star This will require access to a hardware Vocoder
Analog_bridge is configured for DMR This can use the md380-emu

You could replace DMR with NXDN or YSF. (add the gateways)

I'm running an older version of DV Switch on a vps, I would like to install it on a different VPS, I'm running Ubuntu on the old VPS and DV Switch and Running Debian Stretch on the New VPS.
If I made a fresh install on the Debian Stretch VPS what would be the best install process for this? I see there are new features and repo's available.

The current original version I'm using supports a multi repeater linked network...I looked at DV server and it appeared to be just for use with an individual mobile user.
Please recommend the best method of making the change.

Thank You

Rick,
DVSwitch is the umbrella all our software is under. I assume you are using MMDVM_Bridge to combine the 3 existing modes. Once I understand what you are doing, I can try to help you add D-Star

I'm relatively new with Ambe and know more than I ever imagined I would want to know about. We have several Dstar users in the area that would like to blow the dust off of their radios, We built an MMDVM linked repeater system that covers the same area as our Analog network..That's how we have been using DVSwitch for the last 4 years, We want to now use the vocoders to convert the NXDN, DMR and C4FM to the Ambe XLX . and wanting to use DVSwitch, if possible to do all of the heavy lifting between servers.

DVSwitch has already been configured and working flawlessly for 4 years..Now were wanting to transcode Dstar into the mix...Sorry for any confusion...I am interested in analog..But not untill I get past the ambe vocoding curve.

Thanks

Hi Steve

I have a DV3003 and want only to use it Ambe to DMR or Ambe to YSF, Does it still build in Analog Bridge?

Analog to digital will come later , I see where ASL is used but would prefer not to use it if possible.

Is there a working Ambe to digital config file I could look at to see what and how it should look? Just trying to wrap my head around it...I'm better with hardware than software but with a a visual and a poke with a sharp stick, I can typically work my way through it

Hi Steve

What is the recommended download and install method? I thought I saw where there was a DV Switch installer available?

I have some idle time and would like to condense everything to on vps.

Thanks

I'm running an older version of DV Switch on a vps, I would like to install it on a different VPS, I'm running Ubuntu on the old VPS and DV Switch and Running Debian Stretch on the New VPS.
If I made a fresh install on the Debian Stretch VPS what would be the best install process for this? I see there are new features and repo's available.

The current original version I'm using supports a multi repeater linked network...I looked at DV server and it appeared to be just for use with an individual mobile user.
Please recommend the best method of making the change.

Very nice...Smooth build ! I have my XLX reflector on this VPS as well but my transcoder is at another IP address..How would this map through to the transcoder to DVswitch?

Didnt find the dashboard? May have overlooked it?

after the build I'll direct my BM TG to the XLX , The ambe is all that see's the trancoder..

Just not sure how DVSwitch should map for transcoder ...If it does at all?? .127.0001 will map to the XLX to DVSwitch.

I've not done this yet. The XLX has only been used for Dstar up to now.
