Connector Failed

aaranda4u

With my new unit, I have no idea why the following message shows up with the DMR setting, "Connector authentication failed; please check the server password." I have no idea what server it is talking about. Someone please explain and I cannot email Shark, I need the email address.
Thank you,
Alex

Enable advanced mode at the bottom of the page and look at the server details on the connector page.

Depending on which network you want to use you will need the appropriate login credentials, you may need to Google for these or have a look at the BrandMeister selfcare pages on their web site.

If you use the BrandMeister Network, then please take a look at this post: https://news.brandmeister.network/configure-a-security-password-for-your-hotspots/
You need to check the hotspot security setting on your BrandMeister SelfCare page at https://brandmeister.network/
If hotspot security is turned on, you have to use the hotspot password you've set there as the server password in the openSPOT. If hotspot security is turned off, then you have to use the default server password which is "passw0rd" (without the double quotation marks). Note that now all servers require a hotspot security password to be set and enabled.

How can I get more detail on setting up my OS4 with my Anytone 878mkII? I am new to DMR and people seem to make assumptions on skill level.
