1.7.1
Signal Paths
 gives an overview of signal paths within the reciter. 
Digital P25 signals from the receive RF interface pass through the digital 
receiver and P25 modem to the control software in the RISC processor. The 
control software passes the signal through the Ethernet interface to the site 
controller, or to the central voter in a simulcast system.
Input to the Ethernet interface can be from the site controller, or from the 
central voter in a simulcast system. These inputs are processed by the RISC 
and passed through the P25 modem to the transmitter. If the 
base station
 is 
itself a central voter, this input can also be a received signal, which is voted 
on and sent back through the Ethernet interface to the site controller.
1.7.2
Online and Offline Modes
The 
base station
 normally operates in Online mode, but you can put it into 
Offline mode via its web interface.
Online Mode
In Online mode, the 
base station
 performs its normal functions. 
Offline Mode
When you program the 
base station
 or run invasive diagnostic tests, the 
base 
station
 must be in Offline mode. This takes the 
base station
 out of service. 
However, the front panel is still operational and can be used in the normal 
way.
