Each base station in a multi-site system has a unique base station number. Start at 1 and count
up. Skipping numbers is allowed.
1
Default: 1
Command: ipnc=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy,…zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
Description:
Sets the list of IPNC IP addresses. First one on the list should be the IP address of the primary
IPNC.
2
Default: 172.16.23.200
Command: ipnc=+xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
3
Description: Append the IP address to the end of the existing list of IPNC addresses.
Command: ipnc=-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
4
Description:
Delete the IP address in the existing list of IPNC addresses. If there is only one IPNC address in
list, the address cannot be deleted.
Command: ipncqueryperiod=xx
Description:
This command sets the period, in seconds, that the base station should query the IPNC’s for
status of health. If there is only one IPNC, this parameter should be set to zero.
5
Default: 0
Command: signalstrength=dbm/adc
Description:
When “signalstrength” is set to “adc” the base station will send the signal strength to the IPNC in
ADC units (0 to 255). When “signalstrength” is set to “dBm”, the base station will send the signal
strength to the IPNC in dBm units (-128 to 0). dBm is preferred.
6
Default: dBm
Command: Ping=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, l=sss, n=ccc, i=ttt
Description:
Use this command to ping mobile radios, PC’s or IPNC’s. Where,
“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” specifies the destination IP address to ping. The destination IP address must
be specified. Other parameters are optional.
“l=sss” specifies the size of the packets in number of bytes, not including the IP and ICMP
header.
“n=ccc” specifies the repeat count.
“i=ttt” specifies the pinging interval in milliseconds.
7
Defaults:
l=32
n=1
i=1000
Command: Host framing = slip, status

The “status” option controls whether the base station reports signal strength information to the
