Title: SCAN 777 question
Post by: N1KK on January 13, 2020, 08:03:16 pm
There are times I keyup TG 777 the scan works fine but when I try the Self Care I don't always see the choice to pick another TG to end the SCAN.
Trying to keyup on another TG sometimes takes a long time before getting lucky to get in between a transmission.
 
My question is why are there times I do not see the choice to enter a different TG than 777 to end it?
Both my computer and Hotspot are on the same WiFi connection.

Thanks
Ken

The script that runs the self care function has been acting up.  It's currently being worked on/overhauled by the system administrators.

Hopefully once they complete their work it will be more stable/reliable.

Until then...stand by.

How do I use these links?
Do I copy and paste into for example Firefox browser?

I tried copy and paste into Firefox.  The second link give me a error 404 message.
The first one leaves me with the following in Firefox

"u'your Hot Spot number' does not match '^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$'\n\nFailed validating 'pattern' in schema:\n    {'description': \"Ban's Unique identifier\",\n     'in': 'path',\n     'name': 'repeater_id',\n     'pattern': '^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$',\n     'type': 'string',\n     'x-scope': ['']}\n\nOn instance:\n    u'your Hot Spot number'"

just like selfcare you must be on same local network as the hotspot
copy paste to your browser
http://tgif.network:5040/api/sessions/update/xxxxxxxxx/1/31665

replacing xxxxxxxxx with your hotspots DMR ID

it should then show "200" if successful

It's also worth noting that the "1" you see before the talk group stands for time slot 2, which most hotspots use only that time slot.  If you do have a hotspot that will do dual time slots then for time slot 1, that would need to be a "0" (zero) in the URL above.

If the API doesn't work, rebooting the hotspot you're trying to control will often fix it.

I've had that happen several times over the past couple weeks.  It seems to be related to the work/upgrades currently being performed on the server.

Understand that, during this time, they may be working on the underlying code, restarting services, etc.  This can disrupt the API's functionality.  Rebooting the hotspot drops and reestablishes a connection to the server, allowing the API code to "re-find" it.

Examples include (but not limited to) using the "Talkgroup Drop" function on Robert/Mitch's TGIF hotspots, using the API code to change talkgroups, etc.

Should this command work to disconnect any one of my specific hotspots
by adding either 01, 02...  etc   after where my dmr id goes.

I have 2 pi zero hotspots and 1 pi 3.0+ hotspot.
The modify static button under admin in pistar reports back
TGIF API: Not Found on the 2 pi zero hotspots.
On my pi 3.0 + it works perfectly.   The above command used to work
on all my hotspots just making sure the last 2 digits are for the specific
hotspot I am trying to unlink from TG 777.

http://tgif.network:5040/api/sessions/update/xxxxxxxxx/1/4000  only works
on my pi 3.0+ hotspot.  When I try the other 2 pi zero boards I get
a 404 error.   
All 3 I have tested with the latest pistar 4.14 with only the
pi 3.0+ hotspot working with the Modify Static button.
This is the same case for the previous versions of pistar.

Hi Ken,

Yes, it should work equally well for all your hotspots (on the Legacy server, not Prime) as long as:

A) Each hotspot is on the same external IP as the device/browser you're using to make the switch AND

B) There is nothing blocking those devices firewall-wise.

You can try the following address to see what the server API is seeing for the IP you're coming from:

This has been working great for sometime now.    It's not working and I am guessing it has something
to do with the switch over to Prime.
Would there be a new link available that works?

Thanks,
Ken

I have been using the above link to disconnect from TG777 for some time now.
Today I started getting the following message.   If I go to the self care on the Prime site
it works.   I am using Windows 7 with Firefox vs. 62.0.3.  The connection is Ethernet to my router.
 The only thing I have done with my
computer recently is install LibreOffice.   
I have the same problem with Chrome,
and Epic Privacy browser.

I have 2 Windows 7 Laptops connected via WiFi with the same version of Firefox and I don't have
a problem. One of the two Laptops also had LibreOffice installed at the same time.
Any tips how to fix this would be appreciated.   Thanks, Ken


(I did fix the problem.  I had to remove the https and just use www  in the shortcut link I made and it worked again.)

Try using a non-ssl connection by changing https://tgif.network:5040/api/sessions/update/DMRID/1/4000 to http://tgif.network:5040/api/sessions/update/DMRID/1/4000

I have a bit different question…When using the 777 scan, the contact info remains the first contact in a TG and does not change when other users key up. It will remain until the scan moves on to another TG and then the same thing. Is there something I need to do to solve this?  I like the scan, but not knowing who is keyed in is annoying. If this has been address earlier I apologize, but I didn’t notice it.

Also, would like to get a TGIF spot and run it just for TGIF network as I have my spot programmed for BM and TGIF, which was an adventure. What I mean to ask is what is lead time on a new TGIF spot right now?

Thank you for any help.
