72 AWE 120-24 Installation & Configuration Guide
Setting the Station Type
Each unit must be set up as either a base station or a remote station. In a given system there is only one base
station, but there can be numerous remote stations. (A base station can also be set up as a repeater base.)
You define the unit as a base station or remote unit by setting the Station Type.
➧

1. From the Main Menu, select Radio Module Configuration and press
Enter. The Radio Module
Configuration menu is displayed.
2. Select Station Type and press
Enter. The data field highlights.
3. Scroll to select the Station Type (base station or remote unit).
4. Press
Enter. The new setting is displayed in the "New" column.
5. Select Reboot New RF Configuration and press
Enter. The unit reboots and the AWE 120-24
Login menu is displayed. The unit now runs using the "Current" station type for the amount of time
specified by the Current Test Minutes.
