DMR and XLXd

Hello,
I know I already asked this
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1696&p=7405#p7405 but I still didn't get how to achieve the result.
The scheme is
Code: Select all
DMR radio 1---> pistar --> XLXd reflector <-- pistar2 <-- DMR radio 2
Each Radio1 and Radio 2 connects on its pistar. Both to the same XLXd.
It's not an open reflector. It's just a reflector and both users know its ip.
On the reflector there are configured modules ABC.
What do I have to do on xlxd (it's just installed and configured as it was a dstar xlxd, vanilla config, no calling home needed, 3 modules only), on pi stars (just turned on, with fresh install and only wifi configured) and on radios to let them communicate?
I won't want public DMR networks (BM nor DMR+) play this game. I want a pure DMR private closed reflector.
Thanks to who will answer and clarify this step =)
I know how to make 2 DSTAR radios communicate this way, but I cannot figure out how to make 2 DMR do the same since in DMR configuration of pistar I cannot say "connect to this XLX whose ip is XXX and on module YYY" as in Dstar.
Screenshots apreciated

The issue is the first time you use a XLX reflector you need to tell it what TG you want to use. This is NOT done from the radio, it is done under expert, "DMR GW". My club is using a private reflector and everyone conencts to it, we also have that connected to our repeater TG from Brandmister. This is our example of what works:
[XLX Network]
Startup=982
Enabled=1
File=/usr/local/etc/XLXHosts.txt
Port=62030
Password=passw0rd
ReloadTime=60
Slot=2
TG=310195
Base=64000
Relink=60
Debug=0
Id=312xxxx
UserControl=1
Module=B

Hi,
I chose TG6 and here is my config
Code: Select all
[XLX Network]
Startup=267
Enabled=1
File=/usr/local/etc/XLXHosts.txt
Port=62030
Password=passw0rd
ReloadTime=60
Slot=2
TG=6
Base=64000
Relink=60
Debug=0
Id=1234567
UserControl=1
Module=I
but I see nothing on my xlx267 nor I see udp packets outogoing if I run a tcpdump on the rpi...

ID needs to be your id not 1234567.
Use private call 64001 for module A, 64002 for module B, 64003 for module C etc. etc.

Hi again,
my hotspot doesn't try at all to connect to the reflector, regardless of the private calling or the module or my id...

My XLX is working: it's interlinked with another XLX and if I use DSTAR on the radio, I can connect to it. It's just under DMR that it's not going anywhere

Keep in mind that this should be unlinked from BM or DMR+ Network.
What am I doing that faulty?

Your config looks ok. Just a couple things, are you using an SSID in the base config as XLX can't use them. You'll need to use ur basic 7digit ID.
You say it's not an open XLX, but pistar lists xlx267 in its setup config. So is it private? If it is and ur using the same no as an existing XLX pistar will push traffic to the 'official' 267 which XLX list as Peru.

Hi again,
the one I am trying on is a public reflector (267 and 616 are publicly linked). I wanted to try here and then, if it's working, I will create another one private.
I'm using 2225330 as ID, it's my own one...
Thanks for your patience
