# Multi-Reflector-Installer (Proof of Concept)
|
|
The script is very much currently a proof of concept and gets you about 90% of the way to have everything fully installed and configured. The concept is, This will build you a 3 mode ham radio digital voice reflector server that will transcode Yaesu Fusion, DMR, and D-Star with the help of AMBED and AMBE vocoder chips. I did not build each application. This script simply goes through the install steps for each application for you and configures apache for the dashboards. Features and abilities coming...
|
|
|
|
#### This script will install the following:
|
|
- `XLXD` *(D-Star/DMR Reflector that also communicates with AMBED)*
|
|
- `YSFReflector` *(HomeBrew Fusion Reflector)*
|
|
- `YSF2DMR` *(The bridge software between YSF and XLX)*
|
|
- `YSF and XLX Dashboards` *(Web pages that shows real-time activity)*
|
|
- Apache2 and configure the virtualhosts for both dashboards
|
|
|
|
**But not**
|
|
- `AMBED` (along with the required AMBE chips)
|
|
- *AMBED can be installed locally or on a remote server, but is required for the transcoding part.*
|
|
|
|
#### You will need the following information to get started:
|
|
- Ready to go **and updated** fresh install of Debian 9.x
|
|
- FQDN for ysf and xlx web dashboards
|
|
- XLX number that isnt taken (or pick a random one for testing)
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### The script does not yet edit all the config files in order to complete the installation:
|
|
| App | Config file(s) |
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
|
| XLXD | /etc/init.d/xlxd, /var/www/xlxd/pgs/config.inc.php |
|
|
| YSF | /ysfreflector/YSFReflector.ini |
|
|
| YSF2DMR | /ysf2dmr/YSF2DMR.ini |
|
|
|
|
### Using the Multi-Reflector-Installer script:
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/n5amd/Multi-Reflector-Installer.git
|
|
cd Multi-Reflector-Installer
|
|
./Multi-Reflector-Installer.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### To manage each service after installation:
|
|
**XLXD**
|
|
```sh
|
|
systemctl start|stop|status|restart xlxd
|
|
```
|
|
- Installs to /xlxd
|
|
- Logs are in /var/log/messages
|
|
- Be sure to restart xlxd after each config change
|
|
|
|
|
|
**YSFReflector**
|
|
```sh
|
|
systemctl start|stop|status|restart ysfreflector
|
|
```
|
|
- Installs to /ysfreflector
|
|
- Logs are in /var/log/YSFReflector
|
|
|
|
**YSF2DMR**
|
|
|
|
I havent been able to make a working Systemd unit file for this yet. So this app will simply have to run in screen.
|
|
```sh
|
|
screen -S ysf2dmr
|
|
cd /ysf2dmr
|
|
./YSF2DMR YSF2DMR.ini
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To exit the screen session to leave the program running:
|
|
```sh
|
|
ctrl-a, then press d
|
|
```
|
|
To return to the screen session:
|
|
```sh
|
|
screen -r ysf2dmr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linking to AMBED for transcoding:
|
|
Once you have AMBED installed and its up and running, simply edit the /etc/init.d file.
|
|
```sh
|
|
nano or vi /etc/init.d/xlxd
|
|
```
|
|
Edit the ARGUMENTS line:
|
|
```sh
|
|
ARGUMENTS="XLX### <YOUR IP> <IP OF AMBED>" #Use 127.0.0.1 if ambed is on the same computer as XLXD
|
|
EX: ARGUMENTS="XLX111 192.168.0.2 127.0.0.1"
|
|
```
|
|
Then update rc.d to read the updated init file:
|
|
```sh
|
|
update-rc.d xlxd defaults
|
|
```
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
#### To give you a visual idea of what the end result would look like, here are 2 scenarios..
|
|
|
|
## Scenario A :
|
|
Cloud Server installation allowing for worldwide connectivity like a typical reflector. Here is XLX410 as an example..
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Scenario B :
|
|
A single tower site installation allowing local communication across 3 different digital modes…
