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 AMBE 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!! )
- The AMBEServer must be dedicated to one Peanut room. You can not share the AMBEServer!
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.
- If your AMBEServer is offline for a few hours, you will receive an email and your room will be suspended from the list. When you fixed your AMBEServer, the room will come online again after 30 minutes. You will also receive an email that your AMBEServer is reachable again.
- 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.
Let me know if you want to room also available in the peanut webradio.
