ICOM VE-PG2: Making Easy Work of Radio Interfacing

The ICOM VE-PG2 is a gateway that seamlessly links radio systems with IP networks and SIP-based communications platforms. Here are some of its key features and possible applications:

Bridge Mode: The VE-PG2 excels in bridging radio systems with IP networks. It enables the direct connection of analog radios to IP networks, allowing seamless communication between disparate systems.
Selective Call Mode: This mode makes the VE-PG2 an ideal solution for private and group calls. It facilitates direct communication between specific radios or radio groups, enhancing efficiency and privacy.

Connect the transceiver to the

VE-PG2’s [TRX1] port.

CAUTION:

To connect the transceivers or repeaters, use only the following cables: OPC-2073 (For the transceivers) or

OPC-2074 (For the repeaters).

Using another cable, like an Ethernet cable, may damage the VE-PG2, transceivers or repeaters.

Click “Next>>” when “Start the Easy Setup Wizard for

Bridge mode configuration” is displayed on the web

browser.

Enter the VE-PG2’s IP address and subnet mask in “IP

address” and “Subnet mask.”

• Set the default gateway when your VE-PG2 communicates with a

network device which has a different network IP address.

Click “Next>>”after you finish entering the VE-PG2’s IP

address and subnet mask.

Select “Multicast mode” in “IP communication mode setting,”

then click “Next>>.”

Confirm the VE-PG2 settings at “Verify setting,” then Click

“Save and Reboot” to set the settings to the VE-PG2.

• If you want to change the VE-PG2’s settings, click “<<Back.”

Confirm that the VE-PG2’s “Operating mode” is set to

“Bridge mode” in “Operating mode setting.”

• Default setting is “Bridge mode.”

When you click “Begin wizard,” the VE-PG2 starts the

setting wizard.

Set the VE-PG2’s “Operating mode” to “Selective call mode”

in “Operating mode setting,” then click “Save and Reboot.”

• To set the VE-PG2 to the multicast mode, see “When you

set the VE-PG2 to the bridge mode (multicast mode),” as

shown below.

• To set the VE-PG2 to the unicast mode, see “When you

set the VE-PG2 to the bridge mode (Unicast mode),” as

shown on the reverse side.

To set the VE-PG2 to the selective call mode, see “When

you set the VE-PG2 to the selective call mode,” as shown

on the reverse side.

Click “switch to the easy configuration mode” in the “Setting

mode,” then the VE-PG2 is set to the easy configuration

wizard.

This explanation describes how you set the VE-PG2 to the bridge mode (multicast mode) using the easy configuration wizard

with the connection shown below.

“Change operating mode”

When you click “Switch to detailed configuration mode,”

the VE-PG2 is set to the detailed configuration mode.

“Operating mode setting”

You can change or confirm the VE-PG2’s operating mode.

Select the operating mode, and then click “Save and

Reboot,” to change the operating mode.

“Config Wizard”

When you click “Begin wizard,” the VE-PG2 starts the

easy configuration wizard.

“Connection setting”

You can change or confirm the VE-PG2’s settings. If

you click “Save and Reboot,” the VE-PG2 registers the

settings after the reboot is completed.

• You can change the VE-PG2’s settings in both the bridge mode

and the converter mode.

“Cancel”/“Save and Reboot” buttons

You can cancel the VE-PG2’s setting by clicking “Cancel.”

When you click “Save and Reboot,” the VE-PG2 registers

the settings after the reboot is completed.

• The setting screen is the VE-PG2’s setting display in Area A.

This guide describes the easy configuration wizard of

“Bridge mode” and “Selective call mode,” and includes a

connection example.

When you use only the [TRX1] port, you can easily setup

the VE-PG2 using the easy configuration wizard.

Read “PRECAUTIONS” first, if you have not read it.

Read this guide after reading “Installation guide q” for the

transceiver settings.

NOTE:

• To set the VE-PG2 to “Converter mode,” see “Converter mode guide” for that mode’s explanation and setting details after

reading below “1. Select the VE-PG2 to the easy configuration wizard” for the easy configuration wizard screen explanation.

• Connect the transceiver to only the VE-PG2’s [TRX1] port.

You cannot set the VE-PG2’s [TRX2] and [TRX3] ports using the easy configuration wizard.

• Set the SIP server’s setting first when you set the VE-PG2 to the converter mode.

The easy configuration can set the VE-PG2 only to SIP server sending.

To set the VE-PG2 to Peer to Peer sending, use the detail setting mode.

• To connect the transceiver to VE-PG2’s [TRX2] and [TRX3] ports, use the detail setting mode.

To set the VE-PG2’s external input or external output to ON, use the detail setting mode.
