Starting BrandMeister release 20160421-112227 has support of WIRES-X connectivity.

WIRES-X Link allows:
* To make bridges between DMR talking groups and WIRES-X rooms
* Transfer voice calls between BrandMeister Network and WIRES-X network with audio quality 1:1 and signaling conversion

=== Benefits ===
* Fully transparent calls between DMR and WIRES-X
* Full call signaling support in both directions
* Sound quality is 1:1 in both directions
* No extra hardware is required(*)
* Late call entry is supported on both sides in both directions
* System Fusion / WIRES-X side doesn’t loose any features
* Each BrandMeister Server can be connected to several rooms

=== Conceptual view ===

[[File:BM-WIRES.png]]

=== Limitations ===
* Room should be run in digital only mode
* Room should have static IP and not use UPnP port forwarding (manually forwarded UDP ports or direct connection)
* Calls from DMR cannot be audited via WIRES-X node or WIRES-X Remote Monitor (call will be silent on this software)
* BrandMeister server requires registered node ID and Call-Sign at Yaesu WIRES-X System (these credentials should not be used by any node or you should grant that node with these credentials will never be connected to required rooms)

=== Additional features ===
* CLI-based support of chat for WIRES-X administrators:
** Incoming messages are available via syslog
** D-BUS API to send messages
** Additional CLI utility SendWiresXMessage.php (not supplied to distribution)
* WIRES-X directory service (ILS) client can be implemented as external utility
** D-BUS API to connect rooms including support of rooms behind UPnP NAT
** WIRES-X directory service client is not in scope of project for now

=== Allocated ports ===
* UDP 46110
* UDP 46112

=== Configuration ===
<pre>
WiresXLink :
{
  // DTMF ID of local node
  number = NODE ID;
  // Call of local node
  call = "<CALL-ND>";
  // Connection profiles
  connections =
  [
    "RoomXXXXX",
    "RoomXXXXX"
  ];  
};

RoomXXXXX :
{
  // Room ID: ITALY
  // Group ID
  number = TG number;
  // Remote node address
  address = <"IP ADRESS or Domain Name">;
  // Connection mode:
  // 0 - Regular
  // 1 - Persistent
  mode = 0;
};
</pre>

=== Issues with connectivity ===

==== No sound from WIRES-X at all, BM Status web page shows “0 members” ====
Check your firewall rules, port UDP 46112 should be allowed.

==== Silent call from Fusion operator ====
Mostly operator’s radio is in VW mode. Ask him to switch the radio to DN mode.

==== DMR radio (and Last Heard) shows talking group number instead ID of operator ====
* Operator has not registered his call-sign in CCS7 registration system - ask him to register
* CRC check failed during processing of SystemFusion
