Hello,

I have developed more of an interest in monitoring IDAS lately and I am a little confused on the DSDPlus NID scheme for it.

I have a single-site non-networked system that I'm listening to and my issue has been that when assigning a fictitious NID (1234), DSDPlus gives me an "Invalid or missing network ID" message.
I have to change it to 1234:1.1. What does the :1.1 signify? I see in the notes where it talks about network deconfliction, but that shouldn't be an issue with a single site non-networked system if they all have different NID's.

Thanks,
Mark

Can you provide specific information regarding what DSDPLus shows in the Event Log window when you are monitoring that IDAS site? I'm talking specifically about what DSDPlus is reading from the datastream and displaying, and not anything that it displays as a result of what you have entered into DSDPlus.* files.

You can't assign a fictitious NID. The 2.84 docs say that you can add an iDAS NID prefix to a system's network ID. 1234 is a suitable prefix, but it has to be added to the real network ID. You can't have a prefix without having something to prefix it to. The 1.1 is, hopefully, the real NID and site ID for the iDAS system in question. The NXDN standards docs are a free download and for Type D (distributed control channel, aka iDAS), they show a 19-bit NID and an 8-bit site ID for each iDAS site, so I'd say that would be your 1.1


From the docs:

Added optional network ID prefix for iDAS and TIII systems.

These systems do not use unique network IDs. When FMPA/FMP24 are TCP linked to DSD+,
iDAS or TIII systems that broadcast identical network IDs can be differentiated
by adding user-selected network ID prefixes to iDAS/TIII DSDPlus.frequencies records.

DSDPlus.frequencies examples:

TIII, 13, 1.1, 413, 450.0125, 0.0, 0 ; ACME Inc TIII; NID conflict
TIII, 13, 1.1, 117, 462.6000, 0.0, 0 ; Road Runner TIII; NID conflict

TIII, 1:13, 1.1, 413, 450.0125, 0.0, 0 ; ACME Inc TIII; NID conflict resolved
TIII, 2:13, 1.1, 117, 462.6000, 0.0, 0 ; Road Runner TIII; NID conflict resolved


IDAS, 1.1, 1, 1, 450.2250, 0.0, 0 ; ACME Inc iDAS; NID conflict
IDAS, 1.1, 1, 1, 462.4725, 0.0, 0 ; Road Runner iDAS; NID conflict

IDAS, 123:1.1, 1, 1, 450.2250, 0.0, 0 ; ACME Inc iDAS; NID conflict resolved
IDAS, 456:1.1, 1, 1, 462.4725, 0.0, 0 ; Road Runner iDAS; NID conflict resolved

Network ID prefixes should be selected from the range 1 to 4095.
Records in the .networks and .sites files should be edited to match the .frequencies file data.


Note:

Any existing conventional, iDAS or TIII group or radio records that you have added information
to (like alias text) will have to be manually edited to add their pseudo network IDs or prefixes.

Thanks for the info, guys. I guess where I am a little bit confused is that my understanding was that there was no NID transmitted for a single site IDAS system that I have seen and DSDPlus gives no indication of an NID for this or any other IDAS system I have monitored so far in Southern California. With the exception of trunked P25 and CON+, I have had to assign fictitious NID's.
So 1.1 = Area.Site? In the below case it would be 0.0 (Area=0.Site ID not xmitted)?

Here is an error-riddled sample of one of the systems in question:

Are these single channel conventional systems or multi-channel trunking systems? No network ID on a trunking system seems rather ghetto.

This particular one is a 3 channel trunked system. I still don't know 2 of the freqs since it's in the fed band and I have no way to look up the license, but I am assuming that some type of SysID should be sent on any channel in the system.
