Starting BrandMeister release 20190331-203539 has support of directly-connected IMRS repeaters (Yaesu DR2X).

This allows direct communications between DMR talking groups and SystemFusion radio via IMRS repeater without using any additional hardware (unlike WIRES-X) and with audio quality 1:1. As it is with WIRES-X or YSF bridges, a SystemFusion radio may transmit in DN or VW mode.

Benefits

  • Fully transparent calls between DMR and SystemFusion
  • Full call signaling support in both directions
  • Sound quality is 1:1 in both directions
  • No extra hardware is required(*)
  • SystemFusion side doesn’t loose any features
  • Subscription to multiple talking groups for each IMRS repeater (thanks SystemFusion II)

Limitations

  • Each connected repeater should have unique public IP (limitation of IMRS)
  • Due to technological specific up to 99 DG-IDs can be mapped on per master-basis, that means each BM server can bridge up to 99 DG-IDs

Allocated ports

  • UDP 21110

Configuration

  1. // SystemFusionII Repeater with LAN Adapter (IMRS)
  2. FusionRepeater :
  3. {
  4. // UDP Port
  5. port = 21110;
  6. // Call of local "repeater"
  7. call = "CALLSIGN";
  8. // DP-ID of local "repeater"
  9. serial = "xxxxx";
  10. // IMRS TOT Timer (seconds)
  11. interval = 60;
  12. // Subscriptions to groups
  13. subscriptions =
  14. [
  15. // <DG-ID>, <Group ID>
  16. 1, 2501,
  17. 2, 9504
  18. ];
  19. };

Issues with connectivity

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

BrandMeister log entries

When a Fusion Repeater Successfully connects BrandMeister Server

  1. New regular connection of Fusion Repeater (xx.xxx.xxx.xx)

When a session begins from the Fusion Repeater to BrandMeister.

  1. New session a5dcb300-09b6-4fad-8a15-6b0ba61c9f6b of Fusion Repeater system 0 at slot 0
  2. Forwarding System Fusion II call xxxxxxxx (CALLSIGN) to DMR group xxxxx (DG-ID xx)

When a Connection from a fusion repeater connects to BrandMeister and or resets a connection.

  1. Connection of Fusion Repeater system 0 (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) expired
  2. Connection of Fusion Repeater system 0 (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) removed
  3. New regular connection of Fusion Repeater (xx.xxx.xxx.xx)

When a call is originates from BM to Fusion. At this point this is generic but does show activity going is going to the Fusion Repeater.

  1. Added route to Fusion Repeater system 0 at slot 0 (locked) by Fusion Registry
