Base Station
Introduction
Base station hardware (QP and QB) have specific configuration parameters for hardware specific features. To access these
configuration parameters go to: Setup -> Basestation.
HSC (Hot Standby Controller) Mode
Only configurable within a QB (a QP always has this enabled), this should be enabled when a QB is operating within a hot
standby arrangement.
Shared IP Address
Radio A and Radio B within a hot standby arrangement can be configured to ‘share’ an IP address. This is a separate IP
address from each radio’s unique IP address. The shared IP address can be used to access the current ‘online’ radio.
The shared IP address should be configured in radio A & B as the same IP address.
The shared IP address is only available once HSC mode is enabled (a QP always has HSC mode enabled).
General Purpose Digital I/O (GPIO)
The digital outputs can be configured to reflect the status of different operating conditions. By disabling either of the
following parameters, the respective digital output can be set manually by the user (TView Diagnostics or SNMP can be used
to set the digital output).
Output 1 Alternate Function - When enabled, digital output 1 will subscribe to the base health status (the base health alarm
can reflect the status of the alarm output. See the alarms section for further detail). If the output is active, the base health
alarm is in warning state.
Part H – Advanced
Output 2 Alternate Function - When enabled, digital output 2 will reflect which radio of a hot standby arrangement is online.
When the output is inactive: Base A is online
When the output in active: Base B is online
