PiStar and BM issues

Post by K9DJN »

May be unrelated, but here is what I see using DMR Gateway with a very simple "Pass All" set of rules as follows. (I have two DMR radios and don't need complicated re-write rules).

[DMR Network 1]
Enabled=1
Name=BM_3102
Address=3102.repeater.net
Id=(my ID)
PassAllTG=2
PassAllPC=2
Password=(my password)
Location=0
Debug=0
Port=62031

[DMR Network 3]
Enabled=1
Name=TGIF_Network
Address=tgif.network
Id=(my ID)
PassAllTG=1
PassAllPC=1
Password=passw0rd
Location=0
Debug=0
Port=62031

If I could have added an image attachment, it would show that the name for the TGIF Master shows what is in the "Name" field of the config, but the BM master shows the domain name rather than the directive in the file. (It will also show an IP address if that's what I specify.) Other thing is, there is no API for BM, and I have changed masters multiple times and also deleted and re-created the API key to try to get it back. Both networks are working, but the lack of an API for BM really bugs me.

The name you have is not current. It should be listing "BM_3102_United_States". When is the last time you ran an update? Your DMR_Hosts.txt file is outdated, or no longer being updated for some reason.

What version of Pi-star are you on?
4.1.4, the latest. And I have to put things in manually in the gateway config. I changed the text in the Name field to match the name in the drop-down hosts selection, but still no dice on the API.

I don't see 3102.repeater.net in the DMR_Hosts.txt file.

Change it to:

Code: Select all

Address=3102.master.brandmeister.network 
And then load the ADMIN dashboard. I think a recent change from the IP address to the hostname is what is causing the BM API to not be displayed anymore.
Thanks, I'll try that.
