Hotspot, T-Mobile SyncUP Not connecting
DIR By: K2AMP

In my truck I have a recently acquired Jr Hotspot, from Robert,
along with a T-Mobile SyncUP device that plugs into the OBD2
diag connector which provides WiFi for hotspot capabilities via
TMo's LTE service. If I connect to the WiFi with my iPhone I'm
able to hit any website I want. However, I am unable to
communicate with my DMR HT on any TG. I have another, identical
hotspot in my house that is attached to my Comcast internet
service. Same HT can communicate flawlessly on any TG through
that hotspot.
While troubleshooting the issue, I went to the Live Logs on the
truck hotspot while attached to the TMo device. Repetitively I
got the following:
Connection to the master has timed out, retrying connection
Closing DMR Network
Opening DMR Network
Obviously that's my issue. But I'm not sure how to rectify it.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I've been in the IT industry since 1980, before the PC came out.
Now, self-employed for almost 16 years. And I've seen my share
of unexplainable stuff in tech.
Well, chalk this up under that category. Get back to the house
after some appointments and wanted to concentrate on getting
this to work. And it's working!!!
WTF! Lol!

I had the same repetetive error, with the connection dropping to
TGIF and trying to reconnect. My hotspot was rock solid when
doing only BM, but I changed to DMRGateway with BM and TGIF.
Much rechecking, factory reset, restart.
What solved the problem for me, seemed to be applying the fix
which adds the Scripts directory as noted in this Post:
HTML https://tgifnetwork.createaforum.com/prime-server-setup-and-issues/setting-up-your-hotspot-for-the-new-prime-server/
I then did a factory reset, set back up, and carefully "expert"
edited the DMR GW file adding Network 4 as Prime_TGIF_Network.
Others have shown a 19 line Network 4 config snippet, and I
added that being mindful of Prime in the Name and Address.
System was a new SkyBridge hotspot fully updated to 4.1.4 with
Dashboard 20210305. I tried this testing on Xfinity internet
and ATT internet as well.
My background is a C/Unix programmer who has written much client
server C code 1988-2006.
What I suspected from a programming side was something not quite
right in config of the master socket listening / connecting
setup so that somewhere after 40+ seconds the master socket
drops, causing a reconnect attempt where it mostly fails then
occasionally succeeds. The TGIF Self Help was showing for the
majority of time a Red indication State Unconnected. I am
wondering if some issues "after fix" were solved by improved
DMRHosts.txt file(s) with the proper 16 character password and
prime host address and Name. I would love to know for sure just
what consistently caused the fail state of drop/reconnect, but I
hope this info may help someone in the future.
