VE-PG2
[Connecting a PC using an Ethernet cable]
Use an Ethernet crossover cable when connecting the
VE-PG2 to a PC, because the VE-PG2 does not have the
Ethernet straight/crossover cable automatic detect function.
Also, be careful of
the cable polarity when connecting the
VE-PG2 to a HUB that does not have the Ethernet straight/
crossover cable automatic detect function. If the polarity is
wrong, the [LAN] LED will not light.

The VE-PG2 has two operating modes, Bridge mode default and elective call mode.

• The transceiver connected to the VE-PG2 and transceiver to be called must be set to the same channel.
The VE-PG2s can be transmitted signals to the transceivers through the IP network.
In the Bridge mode has ulticast mode and Unicast mode operations.

• In the ulticast mode, the VE-PG2 calls all transceivers that are connected to the VE-PG2 default .
• In the Unicast mode, the VE-PG2 calls a specified transceiver that is connected to the VE-PG2.

If the channel for transceiver
A2 and transceiver A3 is set
to CH2, transceivers in Area
A can communicate with
transceivers in Area B.
If the channel for transceiver

to CH18, transceivers in
Area B can communicate

q
et Transceiver A1’s channel to CH2, and while holding down [PTT], speak into the microphone at your normal voice level
to call Transceiver B3.
w
When Transceiver A receives the AF signal from Transceiver A1, Transceiver A sends the AF signal to the VE-PG2 through
the OPC-2073.
e
The VE-PG2 [Area A] converts the AF signal to an RoIP signal, then transmits it from the [LAN] port to the VE-PG2 [Area
B] through the IP network.
r
The VE-PG2 [Area B] converts the RoIP signal to an AF signal, then Transceiver B receives the signal.
t
Transceiver B3 receives the signal from Transceiver B.
y
Transceiver B3 can also transmit a signal to communicate with Transceiver A1.
CAUTION: Use only the specified cable to connect a transceiver or repeater to the VE-PG2. Using another cable, like an
Ethernet cable may damage the VE-PG2, transceivers or repeaters.
