3 Configuration
Configure the DMR node for SCADA gateway operation first, before
configuring the SCADA gateway itself.
3.1 Configuring the DMR Node Controller
For successful SCADA gateway operation on a DMR Network, the node
must first be updated and configured with the correct firmware version and
license keys.
This must be done before installing the components required to interface to
the TD9300 data terminals and SCADA outstations.
A different fleet identity is recommended for the SCADA gateway and
TD9300 data terminals to keep them separate from the DMR voice sub-
scribers. This will assist in channel partitioning at sites that are to be
used for both DMR voice and SCADA gateway packet data calls.
1. Upgrade the node to the latest release required for SCADA gateway
operation (version 02.06 and later).
2. Create a partition class for the following with an appropriate address
range and call rights:
■ SCADA gateway packet data
■ DMR voice traffic
a. Select Subscribers > Partition Classes and then click Add.
b. Enter a name and optionally a comment about the partition class.
c. Enter start and end addresses to define the range of radio
addresses that can use the partitions assigned to this partition
class.
d. Select the call types that will be allowed to use the partitions
assigned to the partition class.
e. Under Access Level, select the call priority levels that will be
allowed to use the partitions assigned to the partition class.
f. Click Save.
3. To partition the sites as required, assign one traffic channel to
accommodate voice + data and the remaining traffic channels as
voice only:
a. Select Network > Sites
b. From the Site Status page, click the Partitions tab and then click
Edit.
c. To add a partition to the bottom of the list, click Add. To add a
