Working with Base Stations from Your PC
TB9400 Installation and Operation Manual
© Tait Limited March 2015
The default setting of 40ms is intended for internal jitter only. If the base 
station is a traffic channel, you may have to increase the preamble. Voice 
arriving at the base station’s trunking interface has travelled from another 
base station via the trunking site controller and could have significantly 
more jitter.
Marshalling 
Duration
Although marshalling duration applies only to control channels, and has no 
effect on traffic channels, we recommend that you configure the 
marshalling duration for each base station as described below. This will 
allow any base station to operate as a control channel when required.
Configure the channel group settings to specify fixed marshalling and 
allow a duration of 40ms. This gives the control channel’s transmitter an 
appropriate buffer (control channels do not use the preamble to regulate the 
transmit buffer). 
Trunking Interface
Single base stations need a control connection to their site controller. A 
single base station interfaces to the site controller in the same way as the 
master base station in a trunked channel group. Select Configure > 
Network Interfaces > Trunking to configure this.

Configuring Base Stations in a Channel Group
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 TN-1514 (P25 Phase 1) or TN-2341 
(P25 Phase 2).
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.
4.4.7
Setting Up Custom Alarms
Each of the base station’s 12 digital inputs can be used to raise a custom 
alarm when the input goes high or low. The Custom Alarms form 
(Configure > Alarms > Custom Alarms) allows you to assign a name to 
each custom alarm, and to configure whether the alarm is triggered when 
the digital input goes high or low. Custom alarms are reported via the web 
interface and SNMP traps.
Custom alarms are used to provide an alarm when an external event 
activates a digital input. You can rename any of the available alarms to 
provide a more meaningful name, such as “Door open”.
