What do you need to add your DSTAR ( DEXTRA/DPLUS ), DMR plus/TGIF/HBLink reflector( brandmeister DMR is not supported ) or Fusion YSF reflector to peanut.
- Install a Raspberry PI ( 3 or higher) with raspbian
- Connect an AMBE3000 stick, such as the DVStick30 or ThumbDV ( I do not allow illegal/fake chips or software encoders!! )
- I do NOT allow software encoders!! MD380 lib, libMBE or other emulators are illegal.
- Install the AMBEServer software ( make sure the AMBEServer survive a reboot )
- Open port 2460 UDP ( or other port ) on your firewall towards your raspberry PI
- Make sure the reflector admin has given you permission to link Peanut to their reflector!!!
- Make sure the AMBEServer and Reflector are behind a static public IP!! ( very important!! )
Hints/Tips:
- Monitor Your AMBEServer: Always check your AMBEServer status on the Peanut dashboard. If your AMBEServer is unreachable for 10 days, the system will automatically disable the link.
- Room Naming Guidelines: Follow the room name convention here: https://www.pa7lim.nl/rooms/
- A Raspberry Pi is not suitable for running a Fusion, D-STAR, or DMR reflector.
- AMBEServer Setup Guide: Follow the installation guide here: https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/ambeserver-install
- Static IP Requirement: Ensure both the AMBEServer and Reflector are behind a static public IP.
- No Dynamic DNS Support: DynDNS and other dynamic DNS services are not supported!
