Field
Description
CDCSS
Use DCS digital subaudible signalling. Two options fields are available: the
first allows selecting inverted DCS, the second selects the code. All codes are
shown in octal notation.
Rx RSSI
Minimum receive signal strength, measured in approximate equivalent SINAD dB units.
Tx Hang Time
The GoBox may be configured with an additional duration that is included at the end of every voice
transmission. In Analog this transmission consists of additional carrier, with no subaudible content, that
enables subscribers to check that their uplink reached the repeater and was rebroadcast successfully.
Allowed values are 0 (no hang time) to 30000 milliseconds.
Networked Profile Fields
Field
Description
Network
This option references a Network configuration that has already been created in the Administration ->
Network Configurations section. Details of the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and VPN options
are all part of the Network configuration that can be re-used by multiple network profiles. This prevents
the need to enter common networking parameters multiple times.
See section 4.5.6 for details on how to create network configuration that can be selected by one or more
network profiles.
Network Type
This option is used to select the type of network connection. It must be one of RNC or DFSI.
A RNC connection can be used to establish multi-site GoBox functionality or other ISSI interconnections. A
DFSI is used to connect to a DFSI Host, usually a console user.
P25 Network Format
This option is only available for Analog Network profiles and is used to select the type of network traffic
used for Analog voice.
If checked, Analog voice from the air interface will be encoded into P25 IMBE on the network. Likewise P25
voice from the network will be decoded into Analog on the air interface.
This option enables the GoBox to bridge Analog subscriber units with P25 network users.
RNC Networked Profile Fields
Field
Description
Site ID
The Site ID indicates the identity of the P25 site and is inserted into over-the-air traffic. The Site ID must be
unique within an RFSS when the GoBox is used in Network mode.
The Site ID is limited to values between 0 and 255 (decimal).
Site Subscriber ID
The site subscriber ID is used to register and affiliate with the RNC to allow multisite conventional
repeating. The value should be unique and homed to an RFSS.
WACN ID
P25 Wide Area Communications Network ID.
Allowed values are hexadecimal (00000 to FFFFF)
System ID
P25 System ID.
Allowed values are hexadecimal (000 to FFF)
Group ID
P25 Network Talkgroup ID.
Allowed values are hexadecimal (0000 to FFFF)
DFSI Networked Profile Fields
Field
Description
DFSI Control Port
The local UDP port to listen for incoming DFSI Host control messaging.
The default value for DFSI is port 7000
DFSI Voice Port
The local UDP port to use for voice communication with the DFSI Host
DFSI Data Port
The local UDP port to use for data communication with the DFSI Host
