BrandMeister Hotspot Security pswd erased

Post by K6JM »

We just converted our D-STAR repeater to Multi-Mode with D-STAR, DMR and YSF enabled. Quite often, we lose our connection to the BrandMeister Master and discover the Hotspot Security password has been blanked in the DMR GW config. I have not nailed the exact circumstances, but it appears to happen with minor config changes and possibly reboots.

I found this post by KE7FNS at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3633&p=18813
… if one has made changes using the Expert page, one should no longer make any changes using the Basic page... The basic page does not save all custom settings but reverts them to defaults.
I am guessing this remains true, and it applies to Configurtion page changes to the DMR block and therefore DMR GW. Am I right? If so, I am wondering if Pi-Star could warn people about this somehow. But mainly, I am asking if I understand this restriction correctly and that I should stop using the Configuration page, ast least for DMR changes?

Hi,

if the changes of the config work, make a Backup of the config, please.

Of your pi does not work properly , you can Jump back to an older working config.
