Connection to Brandmeister not working with DMRGateway

Post by G6FIR »

MMDVM with Pi Zero, and Pi_Star 4.1.2

Using BrandMeister_United_Kingdon_2341 with Hotspot security as the only network (master), I have a solid working hostpot.
However, if I configure DMRGateway and set up BrandMeister_United_Kingdon_2341 as the first network, it seems to be unable to connect:

"Connection to the master has timed out. Retrying connection.

Configuration for the BM is identical under the gateway as it is on its own so I must be missing something obvious. Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks in advance.

Same here with v4.1.4 and DMRgateway configured for BM2621 and DMR+_IPSC2_HOTSPOT:

As single Network in MMDVM.ini it works without timeouts.
The mentioned thread has no solution.

DMRGateway.ini extract:

Today I compiled MMDVMHost and DMRGateway on another RPi3 and copied it to the pi-star 4.1.4 running on an RPi Zero W. Now pi-star is running without any timeouts. Seems there is something wrong between the communication of MMDVMHost and DMRGateway.

On original MMDVMHost github i've seen a change on December 6th, 2020 regarding Direct mode and Gateway mode. Maybe it has something to do with it.
