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.

[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.

3. Operation mode
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. ��ulticast mode�� and �Unicast mode�� operations. �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.

Example of the Bridge mode operation: Calling a transceiver in another area �Transceiver A1 calls Transceiver B3�.
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.
Selective call mode operation
The DT�F tone code can be used for calling the specified station or controlling the external equipment in the �elective call
mode.
q Transmits a DTMF code (example: "1") to communicate with Transceiver B through the IP network.
VE-PG2 A transmits calling signal to the VE-PG2 B when DTMF code (example: "1") is received.
w
Then starts communicating through the VE-PG2 A and VE-PG2 B.
e
VE-PG2 finishes communicating when no audio is sent to transceivers A and B for 15 seconds.
Or, hold down transceiver's [PTT] and [#] for 1 second to transmit a # DTMF signal from transceivers A or B.
