About the DV Gateway function

Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway
function. The function has two modes, the Terminal mode and the Access Point mode.
LOther stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing.
LWhen using the DV Gateway function, you cannot make a direct 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
gateway control software 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.
Access Point mode
The Access Point mode enables you to use
another D-STAR transceiver and remotely*
make Gateway calls through an Access Point
transceiver.
* Within the transmit and receive range of the Access Point transceiver. The range will vary, depending on the operating
1
environment.
* Any model as long as the transceiver is D-STAR capable. Only one D-STAR transceiver can access the Access Point at the
2
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. 15-3)
• 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. 15-12, 15-13)
