d. Enter a prefix number. The fleet will be part of this prefix.
e. If the network uses MPT1343 numbering, follow these steps:
■ Enter the number of units and the number of groups for
allocation to the fleet.
■ Click Find Space. The node calculates values for the FIN and
FGN fields
■ If desired, you can edit the calculated values (these will be
checked when you click Save).
f. If the network uses ANN numbering, follow these steps.
■ Select the fleet size (Large, Small, or Mini).
■ Click Find Space. The node calculates values for the L and R
(rr) fields. (The node displays an error message if the ANN
numbering model does not allow the fleet size you selected or
if there is not enough room in the prefix.)
■ If desired, you can edit the calculated values (these will be
checked when you click Save).
When adding fleets to networks with ANN numbering, the FPP and
MEP for a prefix must first be defined under Settings > ANN Fleet
Parameters.
g. If the network uses MPT 1327 numbering, follow these steps:
■ Enter the prefix.
■ Enter the number of units and the number of groups for
allocation to the fleet.
■ Click Find Space. The node calculates values for the Base unit
and Base group fields.
■ If required, you can manually edit the calculated values (these
will be checked when you click Save).
h. Click Save.
7. Add the DIP connection that will be used by the SCADA gateway /
SCADA master:
This must match the allocation in the fleet and must match that pro-
grammed into the SCADA gateway.
a. Select Interfaces > DIP Connections and then click Add.
b. Enter a name and other details as required for the DIP connection.
Note that the Maximum packet data size must be set to 1382.
c. Click Save.
A single DIP connection can service up to 20 simultaneous calls. If you
predict that the SCADA system will need to make more than 20 simul-
taneous calls then more than one DIP connection will be needed in the
DMR Node and more than one division will be needed in the SCADA
gateway.
