Working with Base Stations from Your PC

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 UI, 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.

Configuring Base Stations in a Channel Group
Base Station
Channel Group
Behavior
You can configure the way the base station behaves in its channel group.
Also, qualified network engineers can change DSCP assignments so that
routers and switches provide a different quality of service to different types
of IP packets. For more information on designing and configuring
simulcast channel groups, refer to

In trunked networks, many base stations are single and not actually part of
a channel group. However, they still must be assigned to a channel group
configuration and some of its parameters must be set correctly.
To disable channel group operation, open the channel group profile you
want to disable and deselect that profile in the channel group table.
Collective Channel
Control
Channel control settings apply to dispatcher commands received over the
analog line or the DFSI interface.
To avoid having to set up multiple DFSI connections to change the channel
on the base station in a channel group, Collective Channel Control is
enabled by default on the TB9400. With Collective Channel Control
activated, a channel change command is propagated to the channel group.
