New/Old Server?

Hi, all.
It's been quite a while since I was on the TGIF network. I
currently have my Zumspot running v4.1.2 with dashboard
v20210125. I remember seeing things about TGIF moving to a new
server. I haven't reconfigured my Zumspot for about a year. Is
there anything I have to change to continue to be able to
communicate on TGIF? I have it on now, and it's communicating
just fine. Just making sure I don't get left behind.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, and welcome back to the TGIF network.
Short answer: No, you shouldn't have to change anything to
continue to be able to communicate on TGIF (with some
caveats...keep reading LOL).
Longer answer: The new server we're moving to has all kinds of
new enhancements. One key enhancement is the ability of the
trustee of each individual talkgroup to have nearly complete
discretion over who can use their talkgroup, who cannot, etc.
For example: A Talkgroup trustee can choose to only allow only
REGISTERED TGIF server users to talk on their talkgroup and
block all those who aren't registered. Since registered users
get a unique password for their hotspot(s) on TGIF, if someone
comes along and bootlegs another person's callsign/DMRID to
cause interference/other mischief, they'd be unable to do so on
those talkgroups. And each talkgroup can turn that feature on
and off at will.
That said, most talkgroups are likely to remain open for
registered and unregistered folks alike, most of the time. But
registration is highly recommended for maximum flexibility,
access to other enhancements on the server, etc.
So, summary and recommendation: The server switch will not leave
you behind. But I'd highly recommend that you visit
HTML https://prime.tgif.network/
and register. Once your
registration is approved, you'll have the ability to generate
that unique password for your hotspot that will give you carte
blanche on virtually any talkgroup after the switch.
Hope that helps.
73,
Joe, WB3IHY
