Base Station
Functions
The controller includes features that allow commercial customers to operate
Base Stations from standard dial-up phone lines or microwave links. The base
station is connected to the Receiver 1 and Transmitter 1 ports in place of a
repeater. The commands described in this chapter would not normally be used
if you are controlling a repeater instead of a base station.
Unlike a repeater, a base station operates half duplex—you must alternate
between transmitting and receiving. Therefore, commands are needed to place
the controller into half-duplex mode and to allow talkout from the phone line to
the transmitter.
