Straight from Brandmeister:
Starting on May 1st, 2021 we will be asking users who are presently connected to Master Server 3101 to start making plans to move your devices (Repeaters, Hotspots, Bridges) to the new 3104 master server.
The reason for this change is due to an unforeseen circumstance which is requiring us to decommission the 3101 Master Server on or around Dec 1st, 2021. This should provide users plenty of advance notice to begin moving to the new 3104 Master server which is in the Chicago data center.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may provide some users but with the advanced notice we hope the transition will allow for all to move by Dec 1st, 2021.
The New 3104 Information for repeater owners and hotspot users:
- IPV4: 162.248.88.117 IPV6: Not Available at this time (future announcement will be made when available)
- Domain: 3104.repeater.net
- Location: Chicago
Hotspot Users:
You may change to the new 3104 Master Server any time before December 1, 2021. You will need to change master servers in the drop down under DMR Configuration to “BM_3104_United_States” for pi-star users and “3104 US” for Openspot/BlueDV Users. You may also need to re-enter your password as Pi-Star might remove the password when making configuration changes. Please be patient as hotspot vendors update their server list as you may not find the new server initially.

Motorola and Hytera repeaters: You will need to update the IP Address or Domain Name in CPS/code plug and save / push your changes to the repeaters (Motorola and/or Hytera Repeaters).
