  • If you run more than one hotspot, select a unique SSID for this each hotspot. SSID is a 2 digit number after your DMR ID number. Example … 234000101 , 235000101  or 505000101
  • Ensure you’re using Colour Code 1 or matching the Hotspot/Repeater you are using.
  • Add static groups using the Options Line (see below)
  • Click save

OZ-DMR NETWORK DOES not require the use of individual logins or passwords. A Callsign and RadioID are all you need along with your HotSpot or Repeater. We use the OPTION line (see below) which allows the user to set what Talk Groups are subscribed to and these setting stay with users device. This means you can change servers and have the setting on the next server the user chooses.

Options Line

You can use the Options Calculator to generate a Pi-Star Options line.
