' About Converter mode
If you communicate between the IP telephone and the transceiver, set the VE-PG2 to the Converter mode.
When you use the VE-PG2 in the Converter mode, an IP router (a third party product, either a SIP server or an IP-PBX) is
required.
Set the extension numbers of the VE-PG2's [TRX1], [TRX2] and [TRX3] into the IP router.

If the channel for transceiver 2

and transceiver 3 is set to CH2,
the transceivers can communicate
with the IP telephone.
Figure 2: Example of the Converter mode operation
Example of the Converter mode operation: Calling the IP telephone from transceiver 1.
q Set transceiver 1's channel to CH2, hold down [PTT], and speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
• If you set transceiver 2 and transceiver 3's channel to CH2, transceiver 1 can also be heard on transceiver 2 and transceiver 3.
w When transceiver A receives a call from transceiver 1, it sends the voice signal to the VE-PG2.
The VE-PG2 converts the voice signal to an RoIP signal, then transmits it from the [LAN] port to the IP router through the
IP network, and the IP telephone rings.
e The person called takes the IP telephone off the hook, and speaks into the telephone at their normal voice level. Their
voice signal is sent to the IP router and the VE-PG2.
The VE-PG2 converts the RoIP signal to the voice signal, then transceiver A receives it and transmits it on channel 2.
Transceiver 1 receives the signal from transceiver A.
r When the IP telephone handset is put on the hook, or no audio is received from transceiver 1 or the IP telephone for 15
seconds, the communication will be disconnected.
[NOTE] If calling transceiver 1 from the IP telephone, dial extension number "301", then speak into the telephone at your
normal voice level.
This guide describes the Converter mode, and includes a
connection example.
When you use only the [TRX1] port, you can easily setup
the VE-PG2 using the easy configuration wizard.
Read "PRECAUTIONS" first, if you have not read it.
