Repeater IP Remote Programming isn't supported by CPS2 so here are some ideas.
IP Remote Programming functionality was not transferred to CPS2. This feature allowed repeaters to be programmed via an IP connection, using MOTOTRBO CPS version 16.0 and older.
To ensure data security and support future development, Motorola announced that they will only continue supporting remote programming of repeaters in Radio Management.
From now on, to remotely program repeaters via IP, MOTOTRBO Radio Management is the way to go, especially when the repeaters will be programmed using a shared or public network since it offers the ability to use TLS-PSK.
Generally, Radio Management should be hosted on a dedicated computer or Virtual Machine.
To completely ensure data security, you need to think about AntiVirus; Firewall and Data Backup. This includes Windows updates.
The most basic (and likely) configuration will be the following. Here, the RM Database; Job Processor; Device Programmer and Client are on the same computer.
The repeaters do not require any licences and can be running in analogue (only) mode. If you a DR3000, it has to be the 32MB version. MNIS is not needed either.
As with CPS, in an IP Ste Connect and Capacity Plus network, the Master repeater is used to get information about the IP addresses of the Peers. The written data flows directly to the targeted repeater.
You could optionally run the client on your daily-driver PC or connect into the above "server" via remote desktop. I use the word server very loosely here as the "server" doesnt need to be a multicore monstrosity somewhere in a rack - it can be a lowish spec PC sitting somewhere safe.
Another possibility is to have the Device Programmer running on a NUC or SFF PC at the clients' premises. This PC would connect back into your RM server via VPN. The NUC/SFF PC could also be used to handle radios.
I have a video coming up which will explain how to manage repeater (and radio) configurations in Radio Management.
Repeater IP Remote Programming isn't supported by CPS2 anymore but Radio Management is able to do the same (and better in my opinion).
