RP2C gateway bug

When you use Pi Star as a gateway for an ICOM "stack" it is not necessary to have two ethernet ports. You can just program the RP2C to be on your local network (ex. 192.168.1.x) and use the one port on the RPI. Pi Star's ircDDB will, however, try to "help" you by automatically ch...

but what gets displayed in the dashboard radio info is 128.620000 MHz

Re: the DCS poll

Wow - there must be a lot of these, if that is the cause, I am surprised I am the only one posting about it. DCS006 and XLX006 have different addresses. When i ask for XLX I get DCS instead and that is a different IP. And I get those poll errors. Let's pick a different reflector. If I select XLX287 ...

Re: uPNP magic?

Yes - OK I understand.
Consider however, that the weeny NanoPi is running at 0.4 CPU load and the RPI 3B at 0.08. Whereas the feature to turn off the Gateway exists only on the latter one :-P

the DCS poll

I have been running two pi-star repeaters here for a while now and they are generally satisfactory except for DCS which has never worked right on either machine. This goes for XLX too, where the connection made is a DCS connection. It seems to connect but then I get the connected message every two m...

Re: uPNP magic?

correction: it's a "FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO" seems to look like this one http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_NEO This Pi flavour is being supplied in the Repeater-Builder implementation of the ks-dmr MTR2000 board Here is the original article http://ks-dmr.net/2019/04/11/intro...

Re: uPNP magic?

Thanks! exactly what I needed to know. but I had some problems. It seems that the uPNP feature in 4.1.2 did not work. I turned off the other repeater, manually deleted the ports in the router and then tried, in various combinations, rebooting the router, rebooting the pi-star and de-selecting / re-s...

Re: uPNP magic?

you wrote "That's a good idea, so its now automatic, if you are using a gateway address of anything other than the local host (127.0.0.1), ircDDBGateway cannot start." what version first incorporated that change? Do I need to update my 3.4.17? Thanks and to be clear - the referenced gatewa...

uPNP magic?

I have two pi-star installs: one ver 3.4.17 and one 4.1.2. They are both behind the same router. They both have uPNP enabled. My router shows the full complement of IGD ports open only to the first pi-star. But both pi-stars can link to REF reflectors and both show that their in-built ircDDB gateway...

Re: gateway dashboard for ID-RP2C

OK - So far 100% with this forum: I have never got an answer to any question posted. In this case, I eventually figured out my error: when using ID-RP2C you need to select a configuration of Repeater rather then mmdvm modem. And then you need to select a radio/modem type of ID-RP2C and power cycle t...
