DMR to AllStar Bridge


 

Hello, I'm new to the DVSwitch group.

I was told there was a software only option do do what i'm trying to
do and link and existing DMR talk group to an existing AllStar node.

Can anyone provide details on how to accomplish this?

I'm running VOIP on my AllStar node am I able to use this RasPi or do
I need to get another one dedicated to the linking?

I'm pretty much lost on the rest.

Thanks for any help and assitance. Enjoy seeing so much interest in
the cutting edge :)

Russell,
AllStarLink can be bridged to a DMR TG. I can't say if the HAMVOIP version supports what is needed since it is closed source.
In general this is how it will look I am going to assume you want to connect to BrandMeister. This is a simple bridge, the components will change is you need more features.

BM <-> MMDVM_Bridge <-> Analog_Bridge <-> AllStarLink.

This can run on the same host as the AllStarLink node or on a separate host if the HAMVOIP node can not handle it.

Steve,

Thanks for the response!
I'm starting to investigate a cloud host is there anything your recommend as far as linux goes.

this is where i'm starting:

If this looks good what are the install steps?

Russell,
Your first step will be to get the AllStarLink (ASL) node running. I believe it's possible on AWS. The biggest challenge is DAHDI Which requires the kernel headers.
I suggest you get the kernel headers installed and theninstall ASL from <https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/ASL_FAQ>

Ok after some more digging I'm pretty sure I can use the ras pi that my current node is running on which is a HAMVOIP image.

i'm running the instructions I got from this page:

The install script is Debian based. HAMVOIP is ARCH. I doubt it works.

i followed the instructions on here   https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/ASL_FAQ  and I made Allstar work on Google Cloud last night  Wasnt too hard.


 

Ok, I started over from scratch with AWS. I think i was loading the wrong images previously I loaded the Ubuntu 16.04 and that was the key.

I installed the ASL and the DVSwitch. 

All appears to have installed correctly this time.

What are my next steps. I tried some searches but I can't find where the .ini files are located.

Have you setup the usrp channel driver and pointed it at analog_bridge?
Have you setup the selfcare account for the DMR connection and created a static TG?

i did un-comment this in the rpt.conf:

All appears to have installed correctly this time.

What are my next steps. I tried some searches but I can't find where the .ini files are located.

You need to enable the usrp channel driver in modules.conf.

That was it!

Right after i connected I heard Allstar on the DMR TG. 

I can transmit from AllStar to DMR as well. However, I cannot Transmit from DMR to AllStar. Is that where I'm still waiting on the Selfcare account for the Static Talk Group?

New logs attached.

I have the self care account now and i set the talk group static.

Transmissions are not heard going from DMR to AllStar it's like it keys up on the Allstar for a spit second then drops.
