  • Page 3: General Features

    General features The FT636 IP Interface is used when you want to remotely use a two-way-radio. By using VoIP (Voice over IP) and RoIP (Radio over IP) practically unlimited distances can be bridged. As the AF-information and the control information are transmitted via IP and Ethernet, every local data network (LAN) and the internet (WAN) can be used for transmission.

  • Page 4: Examples

    Examples Two connection examples via local network (LAN) Major 6a Ethernet IP Interface IP Interface switch This example shows the operation of two radio circuits with an operation ter- minal Major 6a. The Major 6a can support up to 4 radio circuits , so that two additional IP Interfaces and two two-way radios can be added.

  • Page 5: Multi-Wire-Connection Of The Ft636 Ip Interface

    All before shown connections can be set up in 2-wire and in-multi-wire-technique. Therefore it is possible to fl exibly install the FT636 in existing infrastructures. Multi-wire-connection of the FT636 IP Interface The FT636 IP Interfaces are factory-set to support the multi-wire-technique. For this 7 wires are needed ( 4 x AF-In/Out, 1 x PTT, 1 x Squelch, 1 x Ground).

  • Page 10: Configuration

    Configuration General remarks The FT636 IP Interface uses TCP/IP via Ethernet for transmitting radio communication and control information. Be sure to note the occuring particularities. First the terms will be explained with an easy example, then some more complex confi guration examples will be illustrated. The easiest confi guration is that both involved IP Interfaces are installed in the same network seg- ment of the local network.
  • Page 11 You can now connect the first FT636 IP Interface for configuration (power and network). A web-browser is opened on the PC (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, ...) and the following is en- tered in the address bar: http://192.168.16.191 The configuration page of the FT636 IP Interface appears (see below). Select „Configuration 0 (TCP/IP)“...

  • Page 12: Preparing The Pc For Configuration

    Preparing the PC for confi guration As mentioned above the FT636 IP Interfaces are confi gurated with a web browser. It does not mat- ter which operation system (Windows, Linux, Apple Mac ...) is used on the PC. The web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera,...) can also be chosen freely.
  • Page 13 Linux PC The setting of a Linux PC is basically done in the same way as described in the Windows example. Of course the windows look different and also differ from Linux version to Linux version (Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, RedHat, ...). The following also applies here: If the PC is already attached to a network a second IP address will be assigned.

  • Page 14: The Ft636 Ip Interface Configuration Interface

    The FT636 IP Interface configuration interface The configuration of the FT636 is carried out on a website, which is provided by the device. To do this the IP nterface has to be connected to the network and the configuration PC has to be set up as described in the previous paragraph.

  • Page 15: Tcp/Ip Settings

    TCP/IP settings Here the adjustments of the network and for the AF transfer are made. Like the page shown above, this page also has some help texts on the right which explain the set- ting options. This shows the ex factory settings. These settings have to be adjusted to the respective defaults or operating conditions as explained in the following paragraphs.
  • Page 16 To save the setting please click „Apply“ at the bottom of the page. The device will then start with the new settings. COMMUNICATION SETTINGS Number of radio circuits One or two radio circuits can be operated simultaneously. Necessary bandwidth: One radio circuit: min. 96kBit/s Two radio circuits: min.
  • Page 17 Please note: The gateway only has to be entered, if the connection is made via WAN (by a rou- ter/ a gateway). Default: „0.0.0.0“ Primary DNS server Here you can enter DNS Servers for name resolution (for example www.funktronic.de). Example: „195.186.1.111“ Default: „0.0.0.0“ Alternative DNS A further DNS server, if the first cannot be contacted.

    In the local network, in different network segments Major 5a control head IP Interface Ethernet switch Router Two-way radio IP Interface Ethernet switch This example shows a configuration where the FT535 IP Interfaces and therefore the control head and the two-way radio are in different segments of the network. The segments are connected by a router.

The ethernet switches may or may not be available according to the requirements of the network.
  • Page 34 In this case the installation is more complex, as you have to take the DSL router into consideration in this configuration. The router mainly has two functions. One is to set up the connection to the DSL provider. The other function is to receive data from the local IP Interface and to transmit the data via internet to the remote location.
