How to Connect to XLX using XLXnnnAL

Post by K2IE »

I see a lot of misinformation posted here and in other places about how to connect to an XLX reflector using Pi-Star. I have seen threads from otherwise knowledgable folks claiming you must use an XRF or DCS connect string to connect to an XLX reflector. This is plain wrong.

You can connect to an XLX reflector using a connect string such as:

XLX020AL

ircddbgateway will then use DCS to make the connection.

For this to work properly, be certain that the following is set in your ircddbgateway config file:

xlxHostsFileUrl http://xlxapi.rlx.lu/api.php?do=GetXLXDMRMaster

You can check this in the expert mode configuration.

You see this is your issue... you say to ensure that folks have that particular line in their config.
Earlier releases dont have that line or feature...

So using DCS and XRF is the solution, which works for both old and new.
Which is why me as a "knowledgeable fellow" keeps saying different.
