Configuration Files
Transferring Files
Specific firmware application configurations, such as IP address, can be 
transferred between base stations without overwriting identity information.
Configuration
It is important to note that, unless running the application that supports that 
item (P25/AS-IP in this example), configuration items such as the 
‘Network Access Code (NAC)’, (air-interface specific to the P25 channel) 
may not be visible on the Web UI when running its firmware application 
equivalent. However, its configuration is still preserved in the database.
Channels that are not applicable to the current operation may not be 
usable by their equivalent application, but they remain in the channel 
table and can be edited if required.
At any time, you can save the current configuration settings as a file 
(Tools > Files > Configuration > Backup configuration). This is stored in 
the base station, but we recommend that you also download and store it on 
your computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and network 
identity are not saved as part of the configuration file.
The following parameters are not restored on a base station when a 
configuration is restored:
■ Keypad enabled
■ Trunking capability
■ Trunking control channel priority
■ Host name
■ Default channel
■ Operating mode
■ Front panel text lines 1 through 4
■ IP address
■ Subnet mask
■ Gateway address
■ Link speed
■ SSH enabled
You may want to develop a master configuration and upload it to all base 
stations in the network. The master configuration can contain all the 
different channel configurations and can be common to all base stations. 
The base station identity selects the default channel.
Base stations are shipped with a set of factory default configurations 
featuring examples of channel setups for analog FM, P25, DMR and 
MPT. These configurations provide a safe set of values.
