Unable to get a stable connection
« on: March 01, 2026, 03:29:35 pm »
Hi all
The DMR F5ZJH repeater is unable to establish a stable connection with TGIF. After a few seconds, TGIF no longer responds to “PING.”
I don't see which setting I could adjust. What are your thoughts?

Hi Jeff,

A few questions.  First, is this a new attempt at connecting or an established connection that just began to have this problem with?

Second, have you verified that your TGIF credentials (particularly, the secure password) is entered properly with no typos?

Third, are you connecting using the IP address for the TGIF network or
TGIF Network
TGIF Network
tgif.network
? You might want to see if changing that has any effect.

Fourth, it might just be a temporary network glitch or server issue.  Is it a consistent error or a constant one?

Regards,
Joe, WB3IHY

Hi Joe, thanks for reply,

1/- I used TGIF sporadically for a long time and everything worked fine. When I wanted to use it again, the problem arose

2/- The username and password, which have never changed, are most certainly still valid since the MMDVM log shows that the connection is established:

M: 2026-03-01 20:18:17.580 TGIF_Network, Logged into the master successfully

3/- The connection is initiated by MMDVM with the address: prime.tgif.network
Hereunder is the corresponding section of the DMRGateway for TGIF

[DMR Network 3]
Enabled=1
Name=TGIF_Network
TGRewrite0=1,1,2,1,9999998
#Radio from TS2/TG1 to Net TS1/TG1 range 9999998
SrcRewrite0=2,1,1,1,9999998
Address=prime.tgif.network
Password=2ExxxxxxxxxxxxB2
Port=62031
Location=0
Debug=0

4/- Since I resumed activity with TGIF, the error has been constant for about two weeks.

Hi Jeff,

I'd definitely suggest that you change prime.tgif.network to tgif.network in the address line.

The prime designation was used during initial testing of the "new" server to differentiate it from the "old" server.

Although we arranged for "prime" to forward exclusively to the current server, some of that functionality may be...wearing off...in places with recent back end code changes.

Don't know if that has anything to do with what you're experiencing, but it wouldn't be the worst place to start with troubleshooting.

Regards,
Joe, WB3IHY

Hi Joe,

I did, of course, follow your advice and changed the address to “tgif.network,” but the problem persists.
In the DMR Gateway MMDVM startup log, we can see disconnections approximately every 2 minutes.
In the trace of my first message, we can see that the connection is kept alive by exchanging “pings” to which the server must respond with “pongs.” The problem is that after a few exchanges, the server no longer responds to the “pings.” When the timeout expires, the gateway disconnects and attempts to reconnect, etc.

Hi Jeff,

I spoke with and am forwarding the problem to the tech support team.  I have an idea of what's going on, but want them to take a look and weigh in, as they have much more expertise with the server than "little old me," HI HI.

Stay tuned.  We'll be in touch.

Best Regards,
Joe, WB3IHY and the TGIF Team.

Hi Joe,
Since 2:17 p.m. local time in France, there have been no more TGIF disconnections.

Everything seems to be working now.

Many thanks.
