11. ABOUT THE DV GATEWAY FUNCTION

About the DV Gateway function
Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can
make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway function.
There are two modes, the Terminal mode and the
Access Point mode.
L Other stations can also directly communicate using the
DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing.
L When using the DV Gateway function, you cannot make
a Local area call.
IMPORTANT:
• Before operating in the Terminal mode or the
Access Point mode, BE SURE to check your
local regulations or laws.
• Register your call sign (MY) at a gateway server.*
• Register the Terminal/AP call sign that is set in
the transceiver, RS-MS3A, or RS-MS3W to the
RS-RP3C as the access point.*
* Ask the gateway repeater administrator for details.
Terminal mode
The Terminal mode enables you to make Gateway
calls through the Internet.
In the Terminal mode, the transceiver does not
transmit or receive RF signals through the antenna.
When using the Internal Gateway function:

* 1 Within the transmit and receive range of the Access point transceiver. The range will vary, depending on the operating environment.
* 2 Any model as long as the transceiver is D-STAR capable. Only one D-STAR transceiver can access the Access Point at the same time.
NOTE: When using the DV Gateway function
• When operating in the Access Point mode, you need two call signs. One for the Access Point transceiver and
one for the Remote D-STAR transceiver. (p. 11-2)
• You need an Internet connection with an IPv4 Global IP address. If you use a cellular system, you need an
IPv4 Global IP address assigned to your Windows or Android device.
• When you use your Windows or Android device, read the RS-MS3W or RS-MS3A instruction manual in
addition to this document. They can be downloaded from the Icom website. (pp. 11-10, 11-11)
