INDONESIAN DMR NETWORK SERVER GUIDE

Since October 2026 every server of the Indonesian DMR Network runs on a new system: dmrid_link as the DMR server, dmrid_bridge for the apps, and a virtual AMBE-3003 vocoder. For members this means: hotspot login with your dmrid.online account, static talkgroups you set yourself from the portal, and traffic from every region shown on two dashboards.

This page explains what changed, the network features, the DMRID apps and the member portal, plus step-by-step guides for hotspots, the dashboard, the apps and video.

What's New

Every regional server now runs the same three components and connects to two central servers (hubs). Each hub has its own dashboard.

Each dashboard has a button that switches to the other one, so you only need to open one of them.

App audio is converted to DMR by the vocoder on the regional server; dmrid_link then carries it to the hubs, BrandMeister and TGIF according to its network.

Features and Benefits

The latest app versions and their main features are in the DMRID apps section.

DMRID Apps and Their Versions

Every app uses the same dmrid.online account (callsign, DMR ID, account password) and connects to dmrid_bridge. Get them from the Downloads page (also the Downloads menu in the member portal). Install over the old version: accounts and settings are kept.

The dmrid.online Member Portal

Log in at dmrid.online with your member account. The portal, hotspots and apps use the same account, so portal settings apply to the network right away. It works well on phone and PC, in two languages (ID / EN).

Guide 1: Setting Static Talkgroups for Your Hotspot

A static talkgroup is a TG your hotspot always hears without keying up first. You set it from the portal, with no change in Pi-Star.

1. Log in at dmrid.online with your member account.
2. Open the Hotspot menu in the member dashboard (the Hotspot Saya / My Hotspot page).
3. Fill in the hotspot number: leave it empty to apply to every hotspot on your account (7-digit DMR ID), or enter 2 digits (01–99) for a hotspot with a 9-digit DMR ID, for example 510025801.
4. Enter the static TGs for TS1 and TS2, separated by commas (up to 10 TGs per slot), then save.
5. Wait up to 1 minute. No hotspot restart is needed; the new TGs come in by themselves.

The Order the Server Uses (the First One Found Wins)

1. The portal setting (Hotspot Saya). A 9-digit ID setting wins over the account's 7-digit ID.
2. The hotspot's Options field, for example TS1=532;TS2=555,200.
3. The server default: TS2 = 555 and 200 (Global Amateur hub: TS2 = 510).

Dynamic talkgroups: key up on any allowed TG and your hotspot will also hear it for 15 minutes after the last call. Each slot holds one dynamic TG: a new dynamic TG replaces the old one. Keying up on TG 4000 drops the dynamic TG on that slot. Dynamic TG changes are limited to 5 per 10 minutes; beyond that, new TGs are held for 10 minutes (the dashboard shows “held”) while static TGs keep working.

TGs that do not match your account callsign (RAPI TGs for non-JZ callsigns, amateur TGs for callsigns other than YB–YH) are ignored by the server.

Portal unreachable? The last setting stays in use. On the dashboard, TGs from the portal are marked “My Hotspot, portal” (Indonesian dashboard: “Hotspot Saya, portal”).

Guide 2: Every Talkgroup Is Available Through Your Hotspot

DMRID app channels (Android, Windows, Gateway) go through dmrid_bridge. Each app channel uses one vocoder channel on the server, so the number of app channels is limited and only selected TGs have one.

Hotspots have no such limit. A hotspot talks DMR directly to dmrid_link with no vocoder, so every talkgroup in the dashboard Talkgroup List, according to its network, can be used through Hotspot Saya (My Hotspot). As soon as your hotspot picks a TG, the regional server requests it from the hub automatically; no dedicated bridge is needed.

What You Can Connect

• MMDVM hotspots (Pi-Star, WPSD, MMDVMHost) with your DMR radio.
• Third-party apps that support MMDVM / Homebrew networks, such as DroidStar, VoxDMR or QsoLink, straight from your phone with no radio.

Steps

1. Connect your hotspot or app to one of the servers in the Hotspot server list (port 62030) with your dmrid.online callsign and password (see Guide 4).
2. Find the TG you want in the dashboard Talkgroup List.
3. Add it as a static TG in Hotspot Saya, or just key up on it once to make it a dynamic TG for 15 minutes.
4. Check the Hotspots & Servers section of the dashboard: the TG shows on your hotspot's row.

Tip: more than one hotspot? Use 9-digit DMR IDs (ID + 01, 02, …) and set different static TGs for each one in Hotspot Saya, for example one hotspot for K2PI Nasional and SIDGAB and another for amateur TGs.

Callsign rules still apply: RAPI TGs are for JZ callsigns only, amateur TGs for YB–YH only.

Guide 3: Using the Dashboard

The dashboard shows network traffic live, with no login needed. The DASHBOARD menu on dmrid.online opens the Indonesian DMR Network dashboard; the Global Amateur button at the top switches to the amateur dashboard.

Key Feature: Listen Live from the Talkgroup List

The dashboard does not only show who is talking; it can also play their audio live. Use it to monitor the network, follow a net or check your own audio from another phone, with no login, no app to install and no radio.

1. Open the dashboard and go to the Talkgroup List.
2. Find the TG you want (number, name or city), or filter by organisation and province.
3. Press the Listen button on that TG's row. A player bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
4. The player bar shows the TG number, “Standby · waiting for voice” while the TG is quiet, “ON AIR” + callsign when someone talks, and the number of listeners.
5. To switch TG, press Listen on another TG. To stop, press the stop button on the player bar or press the same Listen button again.

• The Listen button is on TGs that have a DMRID app channel (dmrid_bridge); other TGs can be heard through a hotspot (Guide 2).
• If the audio connection drops, the player reconnects by itself.
• On a phone, make sure media volume is not muted, and keep the screen on, since some browsers stop audio when the screen turns off.
• Listen is receive-only; to talk (TX) use the DMRID app, a hotspot or a radio.

Switching dashboards: press the DMR Indonesia or Global Amateur button at the top of the page.

Guide 4: Connecting a Hotspot

Hotspot (Pi-Star, WPSD, MMDVM, DroidStar, VoxDMR, QsoLink)

Hotspot Server List

Every server below uses dmrid.online account login, so only registered members can connect. Pick the nearest server; TGs from other regions still work because every server is linked to the hubs.

1. Pick a server from the list above, port 62030.
2. In the hotspot's DMR settings, set the password to your dmrid.online account password.
3. Make sure the hotspot callsign matches your account callsign exactly. If it differs, login is refused.
4. The DMR ID can be 7 digits, or 9 digits (ID + 2 digits) for a second or further hotspot.
5. Save, then check the dashboard under Hotspots & Servers: your hotspot appears with its TGs.

Guide 5: Using the DMRID Apps

Android (DMR-ID-DVS v1.35)

1. Download and install the APK from the Downloads page. The first time, allow installing from this source.
2. Open the app and fill in your User Profile: callsign, account password and DMR ID exactly as in your dmrid.online account. You can store several profiles (e.g. a PC and a YB callsign).
3. Allow microphone, notifications and location when asked. On POC phones, turn on “DMRID PTT” in Accessibility so the hardware PTT button works in the background.
4. Channel Mode: pick one of the 36 channels and Connect. Talkgroup Mode (when opened by the admins): Talkgroup tab → search a TG → Dengarkan (Listen); tap ☆ for Favourites.
5. Press PTT to talk. Test your audio first with the 🦜 Parrot button in the header: press it, talk for 3–5 seconds, release PTT; your voice is played back. Press it again to return.
6. Quick switching: the CH / TG button, then swipe left/right on the ON AIR card or the channel card (Normal Mode), turn the physical dial if the device has one (set up under Settings → Dial Channel Fisik), or ▲▼ on a handheld (Mini Mode).

Voice route (Profil, advanced): Automatic (TGs with a channel go through the app channel, other TGs through the talkgroup gateway), Channels only or Talkgroups only. Static TGs can be changed from Profil → Ubah TG statis – the same as My Hotspot in the portal.

Step-by-step guide (changing callsign, switching channel/TG on phones & handhelds, FAQ): DMRID App Guide.

Windows (v2.01) and Gateway (v1.02)

• Windows: run the .exe file, fill in your account in Setting, pick a channel in the Radio menu or a TG in the Talkgroup menu. New versions are announced automatically (Online Update). TG555 video is in Setting › Video Stream, see Guide 6.
• Gateway Android / Linux: use a GW callsign account (DMR ID 7xxxxxx), pick a channel, set the RX trigger (COS / VOX) and PTT to the radio, then check with Test PTT. Gateways reconnect and update themselves automatically. Full installation steps are on the Downloads page.
• After an update, the built-in channel list is replaced automatically only when the channel set changes; User Profile and per-channel callsigns stay the same.

Callsign Rules per Channel / TG

The same rules apply in Talkgroup Mode and on hotspots. SIDGAB TGs are open to every group. Traffic from BrandMeister and outside networks still comes in.

Guide 6: TG555 Video, Video Icon and Location Sharing

TG555 Video (Android App, Normal and Mini Mode)

1. Video works only on TG555 with app v1.33 or later in Normal Mode. It is open to all members, with the front camera.
2. In the app: press the 🎥 icon in the front-screen header (Normal Mode) or OK → Streaming video (Mini Mode, only on devices with a camera and enough screen) to turn on Streaming video. It is off by default: without this switch the camera is never sent and partner video is not shown.
3. Hold PTT on TG555: video is sent automatically and stops when you release PTT or the time limit is reached. You always see your own camera; a button on the preview switches between front and back camera.
4. Video is not stored on the phone or the server. Use Wi-Fi when you can, since video uses mobile data.

TG555 Video in DMRID Windows (v2.01)

1. Open Setting › Video Stream: tick Video Stream aktif, then pick your camera (press Deteksi kamera if the list is empty). The Automatic encoder already suits every viewer.
2. Hold PTT on the K2PI Nasional (TG555) channel: your camera is sent automatically and its preview appears in the right column of the Radio screen.
3. When another member transmits with video, the right column shows 📹 callsign · memuat video… (loading video), then the video fills the column, covering the ON AIR card and Online on this Channel. When the video ends the screen returns to normal. Double-click the video to hide it.
4. The 📹 camera button on the Radio screen (next to MUTE) turns Video Stream on or off. Off = no video is sent or received.
5. Video from the same DMR ID as your account is not shown. If you use several devices at once, give each device its own DMR ID.

Video Icon on Caller-ID (v1.34)

Location Sharing & Online Members Map

• Since v1.33 location sharing is always on in every mode, for team coordination and so members can be found when they need help.
• Allow location when asked; choose Allow all the time in phone Settings to keep sending while the screen is off. To turn it off, remove the app's Location permission.
• Open the map from the app (Profil → Peta & Lokasi) or the portal's Map menu. Locations older than 15 minutes are not shown; the guest account PC00CA does not send a location.
