How WIRES-X works

The WIRES-X system is composed of the following components:
• WIRES-X server
YAESU manages and operates the WIRES-X server for Internet connection of the WIRES-X system and for managing users
(nodes).
• WIRES-X nodes
This refers to stations which serve as access points and are connected to the Internet through use of a PC and a WIRES-X
connection kit.
The customer selects and sets up either a C4FM digital operating station or an FM analog operating station.
A node also enables the user to open and operate a communication space (room) that can connect simultaneously with
multiple nodes.
Also, if a digital transceiver is used, the users can utilize a data exchange feature (News function) with both nodes and rooms.
• Station (mobile or fixed)
Stations may accesses a local node within communication range and establish contacts with stations worldwide via WIRES-X
nodes on the Internet.
• A digital transceiver compatible with WIRES-X is required in order to access a C4FM digital operating node station.
• A FM analog transceiver capable of transmitting DTFM signals is required in order to access an analog FM operating node
station.
Station
As long as local nodes
connect to the Internet, stations
can communicate each other
when stations connect to a
local node
With the WIRES-X system, voice communication is carried out in the following manner:
1
Set up an amateur radio station and WIRES-X node
2
Use a mobile or fixed station to search for a node station
3
The mobile or fixed station indicates a connectable destination on the Internet and establishes a connection
4
The mobile or fixed station transmits an audio voice signal
5
The WIRES-X node receives the transmission and repeats it to the connected destination node
6
The connected destination node transmits the repeated data by means of the amateur radio transceiver
7
The mobile or fixed station receiving on the channel of the connected destination node station, receives the data
Tip
For details on how to use WIRES-X with a mobile or a fixed station, refer to the YAESU product (FTM-400DR/DE, FT1DR/DE) WIRES-X Edition Instruction
Manual (downloadable from the YAESU website).
