Hi,
I want to bridge DMR to an XLX module, I understand that I can use the DVSwitch tools and MMDVM_Bridge. I have to create 2 instances of MMDVM_Bridge but I don't understand how connect to a specific module of XLX one instance of MMDVM_Bridge.
Anyone ca help me to better understand?
thank's

If you are connecting to XLX, I used DMRGateway as well as MMDVM_Bridge. In DMRGateway.ini, you can set the XLX Network stanza similar to this:

[XLX Network]
Enabled=1
File=/var/lib/mmdvm/XLXHosts.txt
Port=62030
Password=passw0rd
ReloadTime=60
Slot=2
TG=6
Base=64000
Startup=740
Relink=60
Debug=0
Id=
UserControl=1
Module=B

Of course, use your own DMR ID on the Id= line. Set MMDVM_Bridge to send its audio to DMRGateway.

Thank's Steve,

XLX connection is ok now. Can you give me an example how to "Set MMDVM_Bridge to send its audio to DMRGateway" ?

The connection between MMDVM_Bridge to DMRGateway here is like this:

MMDVM_Bridge.ini

[DMR Network]

I assume you're running both programs on the same machine, so all addresses will be loopback.

In my case, I run ambed on a server at home, separate from my XLX server that's in a data center. The ambed service (included with xlxd) runs the transcoding for D-Star <-> DMR for the XLX server. In order to achieve transcoding, some DV3000 dongles are attached to the ambed server.

This setup is a bit more advanced/customized, since I have services running on separate servers. Also, we're talking more along the lines of xlxd now, which is out of scope for the DVSwitch group.

Correct. The reason is that there does not exist a good open software codec to transcode D-Star (AMBE) and DMR (AMBE2+) as far as I know. So, some sort of AMBE hardware chip, like the DV3000, is used instead.

For example, I run two NW Digital ThumbDV dongles in my ambed server to transcode D-Star <-> DMR. I haven't used YSF (AMBE2+) or P25 (IMBE) but the idea may be the same, just would need more dongles to transcode more streams on the same module.

JJ -

I've tried doing something similar on xlxd with md380-emu, but the issue I ran into was that ambed looks for a hardware device(s) for transcoding, and the startup for xlxd looks for an ambed service running to perform transcoding. I was unable to fit md380-emu in there.

Unless there's another path or setup that I'm overlooking that ignores ambed, which I would be really interested in.

In my case, I run ambed on a server at home, separate from my XLX server that's in a data center. The ambed service (included with xlxd) runs the transcoding for D-Star <-> DMR for the XLX server. In order to achieve transcoding, some DV3000 dongles are attached to the ambed server.

This setup is a bit more advanced/customized, since I have services running on separate servers. Also, we're talking more along the lines of xlxd now, which is out of scope for the DVSwitch group.

I assume you're running both programs on the same machine, so all addresses will be loopback.

If you are connecting to XLX, I used DMRGateway as well as MMDVM_Bridge. In DMRGateway.ini, you can set the XLX Network stanza similar to this:

[XLX Network]
Enabled=1
File=/var/lib/mmdvm/XLXHosts.txt
Port=62030
Password=passw0rd
ReloadTime=60
Slot=2
TG=6
Base=64000
Startup=740
Relink=60
Debug=0
Id=
UserControl=1
Module=B

Of course, use your own DMR ID on the Id= line. Set MMDVM_Bridge to send its audio to DMRGateway.

Hi,
I want to bridge DMR to an XLX module, I understand that I can use the DVSwitch tools and MMDVM_Bridge. I have to create 2 instances of MMDVM_Bridge but I don't understand how connect to a specific module of XLX one instance of MMDVM_Bridge.
Anyone ca help me to better understand?

You are correct, I think that you have to use the DV3000... too many transcode projects right now and I mixed them up lol... though to be fair I have not tried it with md380emu

JJ -

I've tried doing something similar on xlxd with md380-emu, but the issue I ran into was that ambed looks for a hardware device(s) for transcoding, and the startup for xlxd looks for an ambed service running to perform transcoding. I was unable to fit md380-emu in there.

Unless there's another path or setup that I'm overlooking that ignores ambed, which I would be really interested in.

Correct. The reason is that there does not exist a good open software codec to transcode D-Star (AMBE) and DMR (AMBE2+) as far as I know. So, some sort of AMBE hardware chip, like the DV3000, is used instead.

For example, I run two NW Digital ThumbDV dongles in my ambed server to transcode D-Star <-> DMR. I haven't used YSF (AMBE2+) or P25 (IMBE) but the idea may be the same, just would need more dongles to transcode more streams on the same module.
