Although MX is designed assuming it is left running all the time, it is permissible to stop, and restart it, just do that as few times as possible (once a day if you must). MX will run on a variety of devices, so can run on devices that are cheap to leave on all the time.

=== Station type not known ===
When you first run MX, it needs to be told what station type to look for, and how to connect to that station. Start up the [[Cumulus_MX#Administrative_Interface|Administrative Interface]] and select the settings tab, it should then display station settings for you to make the necessary choices.
=== Unable to connect to station ===
This means that you have not set all the settings mentioned in previous answer.
*Maybe you have selected a station type where you need to select a connection port
*Maybe you have migrated from Cumulus 1 to MX. These two flavours use a different setting to select the port, so MX ignores the C1 setting ('''Port=number''' in [[Cumulus.ini#Station|[Station] section of Cumulus.ini configuration file]]) and you need to enter the one MX uses ('''Comport=text''' in Cumulus.ini).
