+ | === Wide Network === | ||
+ | This is the flavor of the DMR system. There are three different flavors, DMR-MARC, DMRplus (DMR+), DCI, and BrandMeister. The architecture of each is a little bit different. We track the Wide Network because it influences the architecture of a client-radio codeplug. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Local Network === | ||
+ | A local network is a group of repeaters that have very similar talk groups. They tend to be linked to each other through the talk groups in various ways and connect to the same c-bridge. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === c-Bridge === | ||
+ | This is like a server. The Local Networks connect to the c-bridge which handles the routing of talk groups. The c-bridge can route talk groups to other repeaters within the same local network or send it out to other c-bridges or even cross over to other Wide Networks. | ||

- | When editing | + | First of all, you need to understand what a talk group is and why DMR repeaters use them. Talk groups are not just used on DMR repeaters, but also exist on P-25 and other repeater |

+ | Since DMR repeaters are typically linked to centralized computer hubs, called c-bridges, using talk groups allows repeaters | ||

+ | So, another caveat to the talk groups | ||
+ | |||
+ | The final caveat to a talk group is the time slot the talk group is on. DMR repeaters can actually handle two conversations at once, one on time slot one and one on time slot two. This concept would seem impossible for users of analog repeaters because doubling would occur. However, DMR repeaters can " | ||
