Configuring Single Base Stations
It is possible to operate the base station as a single base station that’s not
part of a channel group (for example, trunked, non simulcast, or as a
conventional single repeater). The following explains the special
considerations when configuring single base stations.
Channel Group
Membership
Although single base stations are not actually part of a channel group, their
channel configurations (Configure > Base Station > Channels) must still
select a channel group (Configure > Channel Group > Channel Groups).
Once a channel group has been selected, the following parameters need to
be configured.
Channel Group IP
Address
Set the channel group to ‘disabled’. Specify 127.0.0.1 as the channel group
IP address. This is the base station’s localhost address and stops it from
attempting to send voice packets to other base stations.
Marshaling
Duration
Single base station operation should not require marshaling. Channel
group and simulcast operation have no meaning for a single transceiver.
It is recommended to leave Tx Delay at the value of 40ms for single base
station operation.
Network Interface
(P25/AS-IP
Software)
Single base stations need a control connection to their site controller.
A single base station interfaces to the site controller in the same way as the
master base station in a trunked channel group. Select Configure >
Network Interfaces > Trunking, to configure this.
Network Interface
(DMR/MPT
Software)
Single base stations need a control connection to their node/channel
controller. A single base station interfaces to the node/channel controller in
the same way as the master base station in a channel group. Select
Configure > Network Interfaces > DMR Network, to configure this.

Configuring Receive-Only Base Stations
You can program a receiver with the same configuration as a reciter. This
will keep the number of required configuration files to a minimum and, if
possible, re-use existing configuration files.
Transmit information for the receiver will be displayed in the web
interface, but this can be ignored. Also, some polled SNMP parameters,
such as Tx NAC, will return the correct transmitter configuration data, but
none of these parameters is used by the receiver.
