FEATURES (Bridge Mode Connection)

Bridge Mode Connection
The bridge mode simply bridges two radio systems over an IP network in a unicast transmission.

Mixing Function
The mixing function mixes conversations from different bridge groups. By using the mixing function, unicast transmission can be relayed to a different radio group.

IDAS™ To Analogue Connection
The IC-FR5000 repeater series can be connected with the VE-PG3 via Ethernet cable (IP network) using the UC-FR5000 (#02 or #03) network board. The CT-24 digital voice converter is required for use with the VE-PG3.

IP Multicast Connection With SR-VPN1
When used with the optional SR-VPN1 VPN router, three or more radio groups are connected with an IP multicast transmission system in the bridge mode.

Cross Band Connection*
Cross band/cross category connection is possible between VHF/UHF land mobile, marine VHF and air band. Optional audio connection cables allow you to connect a transceiver or repeater easily.
* Subject to licensing conditions.

FEATURES (Converter Mode Connections)

Converter Mode
The VE-PG3 has built-in RoIP and SIP gateway, IP router and IP PBX functions all in one box. The VE-PG3 can interconnect calls between the following connected users. Also the call diversion function redirects an incoming call to a third party user.

Physical Interfaces
• Two Ethernet ports for connection to public (WAN) and private (LAN) networks
• Two FXO analog PSTN connection (LINE1/2)
• Up to four analog transceivers (TRX1/TRX2/ EXT1/EXT2)
• Up to two external devices (EXT1/EXT2; Shares the same ports with analog transceivers)
• One FXS analog phone station (PHONE)

System Capabilities
• Up to 12 IP phone numbers
• Up to four IP phone stations
• Up to four digital transceivers (IDAS™ NXDN™ multi-site conventional/multi-site trunking system)
• Up to four remote communicator stations (RC-FS10)

IDAS™ NXDN™ Connection
An IDAS™ radio user can dial to telephone numbers and connect to radio users from a PSTN line/IP phone line. IDAS™ individual calling and group calling can be made from other stations. The CT-24 digital voice converter converts analog audio and G.711ì IP phone codec (via analog audio) to the AMBE+2™ codec for the IDAS™ system.

Analogue Radio Connection
An analogue radio* user can make a call using DTMF code. In the analog radio system, all radio users will be called from other stations.
* Limited to radios with DTMF encoder/decoder capability.

Remote Communicator Software (RC-FS10)
The optional RC-FS10 remote communicator software can be used with an analogue radio system as well as the IDAS™ NXDN™ system.
* For analog radio system communication, the RC-FS10 must be used with the VE-PG3.

External Equipment Connectors
The VE-PG3 has two external equipment connectors for audio input/output, and other switching. Public address system, siren, red light, and other external equipment can be connected to the VE-PG3. The virtual serial port software allows you to control an external device via RS-232C interface.
