RadioPro IP Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide

Environmental Considerations

The operating environment for the IP Gateway must be within limits noted in the specifications, as well as other

conditions. Do not install equipment in an area where any of the following exist:

 Extreme temperature and humidity beyond limits listed in the specifications

 High EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) or RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)

 High dust concentration

 High ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)

 Extreme Vibration

RF Interference

To prevent RF interference, Mobile radio antennas should be kept a minimum of 24 feet from the RadioPro IP Gateway

when in high-power mode, or a minimum of 12 feet when in low-power mode. Portable radios should be kept a

minimum of 6 feet from the RadioPro IP Gateway.

Lightning and Fire Protection

Lightning protection should be implemented at both the equipment and at the point of entry of the building. Lightning

protection and power transient protection should be implemented to reduce the risk of fire caused by these phenomena.

Circuit breakers and fuses offer the best methods for preventing extended over-current and over-voltage conditions.

Power Requirements

When using the supplied AC power adapter, each IP Gateway requires 100-240VAC, 200mA maximum.

When connecting a DC supply directly to the IP Gateway, each IP Gateway requires the following input, depending on

the IP Gateway Serial Number:

IP Gateway Serial Numbers Voltage Range

1000 through 3153 11.5 – 12.5 VDC

3154 and higher 12.0 – 32.0 VDC

RadioPro Version Match

RadioPro Dispatch clients, Talk clients, and IP Gateways must have compatible versions in order to communicate with

each other. Compatibility can be ensured when the first two digits of the version match. (The third digit indicates a minor

revision, and does not need to match.) See Appendix for tables of compatibility.

Static IP Address

Each RadioPro IP Gateway requires a static IP address. The IP Gateway must have IP Network Parameters configured

using ICU.exe (IP Configuration Utility) before connecting to an active network. Contact your IT administrator to provide

a static IP Address for each RadioPro IP Gateway, along with its Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
