BrandMeisterStarting 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
Contents
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
Limitations
- Room should be run in digital only mode
- 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)
- Two options to connect:
- Static IP or dynamic DNS
- WIRES-X directory service (ILS) - implemented as Registry plug-in
- Built-in support of DN and VW modes
Allocated ports
- UDP 46110
- UDP 46112
Configuration
WiresXLink :
{
// DTMF ID of local node
number = NODE ID;
// Call of local node
call = "<KC0EQA-ND>";
// DP-ID of local "radio"
serial = "xxxxx";
// 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
// 2 - Regular, auto-reconnect on inactivity
// 3 - Persistent, auto-reconnect on inactivity
mode = 0;
};
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.
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
Autodiscovery
Autodiscovery mode is an alternative mode to connect to WIRES-X rooms. In that mode there is no need to configure profiles in main configuration file. Instead of it the system connects to Yaesu's WIRES-X directory servers and track the changes. To use this mode you have to have an WIRES-X node ID from Yaesu and HRI-200 serial number. There numbers should never be used by another connected WIRES-X node.

{
"210-FusionDirector" :
