    Read on to learn about using the TIP100 with your Codan NGT series transceiver. Once configured and powered, the TIP100 that is configured for the NGT Handset, initiates the link to the TIP100 that it connected to the transceiver. Handset Operation Once the link is established, the operation of the NGT Handset is essentially as if it is directly connected to the transceiver.

    UDP and TCP ports enabled for incoming traffic and forward it to the internal IP address of the TIP100 interface unit. In this case it is necessary that the local IP address of the TIP100 unit remains constant. For this purpose, configure the TIP100 manually with an IP address suitable for the internal network.
