1.6 Licenses
Some operational functions of the base station are controlled by licenses.
These functions will not work unless you purchase the appropriate feature
license and enable the feature set controlled by that license. The feature sets
currently available are listed below.
The base stations in a Tait DMR Tier 3 Network are controlled by a node
(DMR trunking controller). Tait sells three types of node: Full, Express and
Access. Each type of node has different capabilities. Refer to TN-2134 for
more information.
Analog Air Interface
(TBAS301 - Default
Licence)
A base station with this license can operate as an MPT transceiver or an
analog conventional repeater.
DMR Trunking Full
(TBAS300)
A base station with this license can accept connections from any node/
standalone node
1
. In single-site trunking and fallback modes, this license
entitles a standalone node to control a single site of up to 20 physical
channels.
DMR Trunking
Express
(TBAS302)
A base station with this license can accept connections from any Express
node/standalone node or Access standalone node. In single-site trunking
and fallback modes, this license entitles a standalone node to control a
single site of up to 20 physical channels.
DMR Trunking
Access
(TBAS303)
A base station with this license can accept connections only from an Access
standalone node. This license entitles a standalone node to control a single
site of up to four physical channels.
DMR Conventional
(TBAS304)
A base station with this license can operate in a Tait DMR Tier 2
conventional network. It can operate as a standalone repeater, or as a
member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR
conventional node).
A base station with both a DMR Conventional license and a valid DMR
trunking license (such as Full, Express or Access) can be configured to
operate in either mode. This enables a DMR Tier 2 base station to be
reconfigured and re-used in a DMR Tier 3 trunked network.
1. The base station itself can act as a DMR trunking controller, but with lim-
ited functionality. The base station is then said to be a standalone node.
