Repeater Setup



1. Set your radio name in the format Callsign-City. Set the 6-digit repeater ID. Contact the DMR-MARC admin team to obtain your ID. This is sequentially assigned. In this example, N9TRB is the 100th repeater in Illinois, USA.
2. Set the SIT time as preferred. Set repeater callsign ID and program it to ID every 10 mins, per FCC regulations.



3. Set your repeater's RX and TX frequencies, color code, and time out timer. Set the messaging delay to HIGH. Set the RSSI Threshold to -50. This setting says your repeater will not key up if the noise is above this level. So, obviously, if you have the level too low, fewer people can use your repeater!
4. Now choose if you which time slots you want connected to the network. Generally, you will choose "slot 1" for IP site connect unless you are in Germany or Schaumburg.



5. Email the DMR-MARC team for the master IP and authentication key. You will be choosing a Link Type of Peer. You can also check the DHCP box if that is available. Otherwise, you need to specify the ethernet IP, gateway IP, and gateway netmask.

6. Next, set the beacon duration to 0. It will display disabled when you do that. 7. Save your configuration file and write it to the repeater.
