1 System purpose
The RG-1000e GATEWAY is used in SmartPTT dispatch systems for remote control of MOTOTRBO control
station(s) or radios through the SmartPTT Radioserver (hereinafter referred to as radioserver) in the corporate IP
network or Internet. It is required to use MOTOTRBO Radios: EMEA region DM46**e, DM44**e, DM46**, DM44**,
DM2600 ; APAC region XiR M8600i, XiR M8600, XiR M6660 ; NA region XPR 5***e, XPR 5***, XPR 2500 ; LA
region DGM 8***e, DGM 5***e, DGM 8***, DGM 5***, DEM500.(*)

The RG-1000e GATEWAY provides the conversion of audio signals and radio control commands to IP packets
and the transmission of these packets over the network.The usage of the RG-1000e GATEWAY is an alternative
to direct connection of control stations to the radioserver via a USB interface.

The figure below shows an example of remote control using an RG-1000e GATEWAY.

Fig. 1 MOTOTRBO control stations: remote connection to SmartPTT dispatch system

* Note 1: low tier Mototrbo radios DM1400/DM1600, CM200d/CM300d, DEM300/DEM400, XIR M3188/XIR M3688
can not be used with RG-1000e. The 1st generation of Mototrbo radios can not be usedwith with RG-1000e.

Note 2: due to Mototrbo firmware limitation middle tier radios DM2600/XPR2500/DEM500/XiR6660 can not setup
outgoing All Call. Indicated middle tier radios may receive incoming All Call and play feedback. This limitation may
be eliminated using non-typical TG ID for All Call feature.

2 System structure
The system of remote management of the control station consists of the following components:

RG-1000e GATEWAY,

radio connected to the RG-1000e GATEWAY, and

SmartPTT software based on ClientServer technology.

The RG-1000e GATEWAYs are connected to the SmartPTT server-based application, which manages the RG-
1000e GATEWAY, and interact with this application. For IP network connection, RG-1000e GATEWAY has the
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface with auto detection of the cable type. For the interaction between the
system components, the RG-1000e GATEWAY and radioserver get a static IP address and the TCP and
UDP/RTP port numbers, which are used for the radio control commands and audio transmission from the dispatch
console. The RG-1000e GATEWAY can be used in the following cases:

As a remote dispatcher's workplace outstation in digital networks without repeaters (Direct Mode
communication).

In the conventional or trunking MOTOTRBO networks, where the direct IP connection to the repeaters is
unavailable.

When the connection to the repeaters in MOTOTRBO networks is based on the hybrid scheme, where the data
interchange is performed via the NAI interface of the repeaters and the voice data transmissionvia the pool of the
control stations.

This system offers the following advantages:

It allows you to organize the dispatching system in the networks, where the direct connection of the dispatching
system to the MOTOTRBO repeaters via the IP network is unavailable.

It allows you not to place radioserver close to the control stations within the radio network coverage area.

It allows you to avoid interference and induced noise between neighboring control stations.

When planning the system, it is required to take into account the packet delivery delay in the IP network, which
causes the corresponding radio response delay to the control commands and voice data transmission.

3 Structure and operating principle


The simplest configuration includes the remote RG-1000e GATEWAY with one connected control station,
radioserver and the dispatch console.

The dispatch console does not interact directly with the RG-1000e GATEWAY. Instead, the dispatch console
transmits data and audio to the radioserver, which then transmits them to the RG-1000e GATEWAY.

The interaction between the dispatch console and the radioserver is not considered in this document, as it is
described in detail in the corresponding SmartPTT software documentation.

The operating principle of the RG-1000e GATEWAY is based on the following elements:

1. Receiving and transmitting radio control commands intended for the management of the control station.

2. Receiving and transmitting the audio signals.

3. Transforming the radio control commands and audio signals into the asynchronous flow of digital data.

4. Encoding of the asynchronous flow of digital data and its transmission to the radioserver via IP network.

To work through the IP network, the RG-1000e GATEWAY and radioserver must be given static IP addresses.
After the connection is made, the IP communication channel is established that provides the transmission of the
following data via the UDP protocol:

radio control commands between the control station and the radioserver;

audio signals from the radio receiver and from the microphone of the dispatch console.

The radioserver may host multiple RG-1000e GATEWAY gateways. Their number is limited only by the license
conditions or by the technical constraints of the communication channels.

To establish the IP communication channels between the RG-1000e GATEWAY and radioserver, the TCP protocol
and UDP/RTP protocols are used. The TCP protocol serves to transmit the radio control commands. The RTP
protocol is used to transmit audio, registration messages (ARS), short text messages (TMS), etc.

To separate the channels on the RG-1000e GATEWAY, each channel is assigned a corresponding IP address
and UDP/TCP port number from a range of 1024...65536. When the IP channels of the RG-1000e GATEWAY have
equal values of IP address and UDP port, the connection is performed in tandem on idle IP channels.

To process the signals of the radio audio path, compression is used in the RG-1000e GATEWAY. The built-in
compressor receives and transmits audio signals using 64 kbps Mu-Law PCM encoding.

Below you will find examples of network topologies and configurations when the RG-1000e GATEWAY and
radioserver are connected. The details about how to connect the radioserver to other equipment or to the dispatch
console are not shown in the examples.

The RG-1000e GATEWAY network interface meets the 10BASE-T (IEEE 802.3) / 100BASE-TX (IEEE 802.3u)
specifications and may be connected to external equipment that meets the same network interface specifications.

Below you will find examples of network topologies and configurations when the RG-1000e GATEWAY and
radioserver are connected. The details about how to connect the radioserver to other equipment or to the dispatch
console are not shown in the examples.

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


11

The Ethernet port can work with both automatic and fixed cable type detection, thus, both a straight-through cable
or a crossed Ethernet cable can be used.

Both the radioserver and the RG-1000e GATEWAY must have a static IP address.

The example of the network configuration for the radioserver and the RG-1000e GATEWAY is shown in the figure
below.

Fig. 2 Connection of the radioserver to the RG-1000e GATEWAY (single radio) via the local data transm ission netw ork

In this example, the radioserver is connected to a single RG-1000e GATEWAY to manage one control station,
which is connected to the RADIO interface. Only one configured IP channel is used to transmit data to the
radioserver.

RG-1000e GATEWAY IP channel 1 is programmed to be linked to the RADIO interface, so that all control
commands and audio signals between the RG-1000e GATEWAY and the radio, connected to this interface, are
transmitted to the radioserver via IP channel 1.

The IP address and TCP (XCMP) port of the IP channel are specified in the remote control station settings.

The radioserver initiates the connection with the RG-1000e GATEWAY via TCP protocol linking to preset the IP
address and TCP port. The radioserver selects a random port from a range of 1025...65535 as the TCP source
port.

After establishing the TCP connection, the RG-1000e GATEWAY and the radioserver exchange data packets,
containing the parameters of each of them. Particularly, the RG-1000e GATEWAY sends the following settings of
the ports: audio signals and service data.

When a package with the RG-1000e GATEWAY parameters is received, the radioserver opens the required
number of UDP ports on its side: one UDP portfor audio signals, and one UDP portfor each corresponding

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


12

port of data transmission services. The numbers of these ports are also selected randomly. Then the radioserver
starts data exchange with the RG-1000e GATEWAY.

To control the connection and the entries in the NAT table, the radioserver and RG-1000e GATEWAY exchange
with UDP packets via the corresponding ports every 3 seconds.

The step-by-step process of the connection establishment is shown in the figure below.

Fig. 3 The process of establishing the connection


betw een the radioserver and the RG-1000e GATEWAY

If the radio is used for voice transmission with the Mu-Law audio encoding mode, the required bandwidth is 128
kbit/s per one channel.

The required bandwidth of the channel that is used for managing the radios is about 15 kbit/s.

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


13

The total network bandwidth that is required for establishing the communication channel is calculated as follows:
The required network bandwidth = (number of IP channels * 128 k bit/s) + 15 k bit/s

If the control station is used for data exchange only with the radios (GPS and text messages), the required
bandwidth is 11 kbit/s per one channel. In this case, the total network bandwidth is calculated as follows: The
required network bandwidth = (number of IP channels * 16 k bit/s) + 15 k bit/s

The example of configuring the radioserver for its connection to two RG-1000e GATEWAYs, is shown in the figure
below. In this example, RG-1000e GATEWAY 2 manages one radio via IP channel 1.

Fig. 4 Connection of the radioserver to tw o RG-1000e GATEWAYs via the local data transm ission
netw ork

The Remote control station 1 settings on the radioserver are used to connect and manage the radio of RG-1000e
GATEWAY 1, the Remote control station 2 settingsto connect and manage the radio of RG-1000e GATEWAY
2.

When more RG-1000e GATEWAYs are connected to a radioserver, they are configured correspondingly.

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


14

Each RG-1000e GATEWAY can be connected to two radioservers: primary and redundant. The RG-1000e
GATEWAY IP channels can be separated by using both the port number of the TCP/UDP protocol and the IP
address of the IP channel. The diagram of the IP connections for managing one radio from two radioservers
simultaneously is shown in the figure below.

Fig. 5 Connection of tw o radioservers (prim ary and redundant) to one RG-1000e GATEWAY

A separate IP channel is configured for each radioserver. In this case, the RG-1000e GATEWAY will replicate the
data and audio signal, received by the radio, in order to transmit them to each of the radioservers. In case of a
primary radioserver failure, all data and control commands will be transmitted via the redundant radioserver.

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


15

The IP channel connection in the RG-1000e GATEWAYs can be established in the following ways:

Dynamically, in this case all IP channels have the same IP addresses and port numbers. Under these
parameters, connection of the radioservers is performed serially on an idle IP channel.
Statically, in this case each IP channel has an individual IP address and/or port number (as it is shown in the
figure below).

Fig. 6 Connection of the radioserver and RG-1000e GATEWAY via the netw ork w ith NAT

To operate via a public network (for example, the Internet) with the address transmission on adjacent routers, the
external interface of router 2 must have a static IP address in the gateway network while the external interface of
router 1 can have a dynamic IP address in the gateway network. In the example in the figure above, router 1, the
radioserver default gateway, has the 192.168.1.1 IP address of the internal network interface and the 1.1.1.1 IP
address of the external network interface. Router 2, the default gateway of the RG-1000e GATEWAY, has the
192.168.2.1 IP address of the internal network interface and the 2.2.2.2 IP address of the external network
interface.

The radioserver and gateway are assigned the 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.2.110 static IP addresses, respectively.

The NAT Overload (Port Address Translation) service is configured on each router. Additionally, you must
configure the rules on router 2 allowing the transmission of the TCP and UDP packets with its port numbers
arriving from the external network. These port numbers are used in the settings of the gateway to its internal IP
address, in this example it is 192.168.2.110.

4.3 Installation and operation check


Before installing the RG-1000e GATEWAY, it is required to perform a visual inspection of the delivery set in order
to detect the mechanical damages of the casing or connection elements. Before connecting

a radio, it is required to preset the RG-1000e GATEWAY interface. When connecting a radio, use the interface
cable from the delivery set only.

RG-1000e GATEWAY can be placed on its rubber feet or can be attached to any vertical or horizontal surfaces.
For rigid attachment of the RG-1000e GATEWAY to the surfaces, use the brackets from the

delivery set. A radio may be fixed on the upper housing cover with the use of a standard radio bracket.

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


4.3 Installation and operation check 18

The external parts, that are fastened to the RG-1000e GATEWAY casing, must be attached to the RG-1000e
GATEWAY with the screws from the delivery set only. Longer screws may damage the board or its elements. The
areas of mounting the clamping elements to the RG-1000e GATEWAY casing are provided in Appendix II.

To configuration and operation check, perform the following steps:

1. Make sure the RG-1000e GATEWAY is powered down (POWER button on the front panel should be

unpressed) and the RG-1000e GATEWAY is unplugged from any devices.

2. RG-1000e may get power in 3 different ways.

Attention!!! Decide carefully how RG-1000e w ill get pow er:

via Pow er socket

via Radio1 socket or Radio2 socket

via both Radio1 and Radio2 sockets

There are some tips w hich help you to deliver pow er properly:

if only one Mototrbo radio is connected to the RG-1000e it is better to get pow er from a connected
Mototrbo radio. KM300-DM46 radio connection cable contains necessary w ires for delivering pow er to
connected RG-1000e. Just connect the RG-1000e to the Mototrbo radio using cable KM300-DM46.

if tw o Mototrbo control stations are connected to the RG-1000e you may get pow er from both
connected Mototrbo. In this case it is strongly recommended to use a shared DC pow er supply for
both connected Mototrbo radios. 13.8 VDC pow er supply w ith 30A current load is sufficient for this
task.

Option " getting pow er from connected devices" may be turn-ON and turn-OFF by changing RG-1000e
softw are settings. Factory default setting is ON. You may disable this option using CPS RG-1000e,
open and change Radio1 or Radio2 settings (see the figure below ). If option " getting pow er from
connected devices" is OFF on both Radio1 and Radio2 ports RG-1000e may get pow er only via Pow er
socket. So, before turning-OFF this option you should deliver pow er to RG-1000e via Pow er socket.

Fig. 9 Disable getting pow er from a connected device

RG-1000e Remote Gateway User Guide


4.3 Installation and operation check 19

Attention!!! If RG-1000e and Mototrbo radios get pow er from independent pow er supply units the
negative leads of all pow er supply units must be connected together using the copper w ire of at least 2
mm2 section !!!

3. Connect 12-14 VDC power supply to the RG-1000e GATEWAY. Connect the positive lead (+) of your power
supply with +V gateway power socket pin, the negative lead (-) of the power supplywith -V gateway power
socket pin. Recommended power cable diameter is 4-7 mm. GND pin of the gateway's power socket is connected
to the casing and the ground protection of the USB interface and LAN interface.

The picture below shows how conductors/wires should be stripped and released from the power plug.

5. Turn on the RG-1000e GATEWAY via POWER button on the front panel. Connect the RG-1000e GATEWAY to
a PC (with installed "CPS RG-1000e") using USB A-miniB cable from the delivery set. Run "CPS RG-1000e" and
configure the RG-1000e GATEWAY Ethernet network parameters and the RG-1000e GATEWAY Radio ports
parameters.

6. Power down the RG-1000e GATEWAY using the POWER switch on its front panel and connect the RG-1000e
GATEWAY to the IP network equipment.

Note: Don't use Ethernet cables installed outdoors. Only indoor Ethernet cables are allow ed !!!

Note: It is highly recommended to use shielded Ethernet cables !!!

7. Specify the IP address and XCMP port of the RG-1000e GATEWAY to configure the SmartPTT radioserver.

8. In accordance with the configured operation mode of the RG-1000e GATEWAY interface, connect the required
interface cable to the RADIO 1 or 2 connector, which is located on the rear panel of the RG-1000e GATEWAY,
and to the corresponding radio connection jack.

9. Connect the power cable and antenna to the radio.

10. Connect the radio's power cable to the RG-1000e GATEWAY power supply unit.

Note: The RG-1000e GATEWAY and radios must receive pow er from a shared pow er source. In case of
separated pow er supplies, connect the negative leads of those pow er supplies together using the
copper w ire of at least 2 mm2 section !!!

Note: Pay ex treme attention to the reliability and quality of connection of the negative radio supply
lead to the pow er supply terminal. Its emergency shutdow n can lead to the RG-1000e GATEWAY failure
!!!

11. Turn on the RG-1000e GATEWAY and radio power supply. Power up the radio station and RG-1000e
GATEWAY. The equipment is ready for use.

12. Run SmartPTT radioserver. Wait for 3-5 minutes.

be able to operate on more than two frequency channels simultaneously, more RG-1000e GATEWAYs with radio
stations can be connected to the radioserver.

In digital mode the control stations support receiving data (ARS, GPS, TMS, etc.) from the subscribers,
transmitting control commands to them and voice message exchange. In analog mode the radios support only
voice message exchange with the subscribers.

The control stations can be programmed with a number of channels and they can change to the required channel
with command from the dispatch console.

To transmit and receive the subscriber voice calls, the control stations must belong to the same talkgroups as the
radio subscribers. Private Calls between the radio subscribers will not be received by the control stations and
therefore they will not be transmitted to the radioserver and dispatch console.

You can find more detailed information on the settings of the control stations in the "MOTOTRBO SYSTEM
PLANNER" (System Topologies chapter), "SmartPTT Basic Installation&Configuration Guide" documentation
and the "SmartPTT Radioserver Configurator" software help file.

5.2 Capacity Plus legacy trunking network


The figure below shows the typical topology used when building the dispatching system on the basis of the
SmartPTT software in the Capacity Plus Legacy trunking network without the use of the MOTOTRBO Network
Application Interface protocol (hereinafter referred to as the NAI protocol). The given mode is called Capacity Plus
Legacy.

Fig. 16 Capacity Plus netw ork in Legacy m ode: connection via the pool of the rem ote control stations

In this connection method, the radioserver is connected to the repeaters directly via an IP network. Repeaters
transmit the voice calls (both Group Call and Private Call) and data received from the radio subscribers to the
radioserver over the IP network.

The radioserver, in turn, transmits the control commands and voice calls from the dispatcher to the radio
subscribers via control stations. This transmission is performed via the pool (in the given example, 4 units) of the
remote control stations connected to several RG-1000e GATEWAYs.

The number of the remote control stations depends on the number of required simultaneous calls from the
dispatcher/dispatchers. In general, the number of the remote control stations must not be greater than the
number of the trunking voice channels (in the given example, 4 voice channels) in the Capacity Plus network.

More detailed information on the configuration of the control stations in Capacity Plus Legacy mode is contained
in the MOTOTRBO SYSTEM PLANNER (System Topologies chapter) and Capacity Plus Deployment

5.3 Capacity Plus trunking network with NAI Data


(hybrid mode)
The system topology in the connection mode to Capacity Plus is shown in the figure below. In the given
connection mode:

data exchange with radio subscribers is carried out via the MOTOTRBO NAI protocol,
the pool of control stations is used to receive and transmit voice messages and control commands.
This mode is called hybrid mode (Capacity Plus Hybrid).

Fig. 17 Capacity Plus netw ork in Hybrid m ode: connection via the pool of the rem ote control stations

NAI DATA license must be installed on each repeater in the Capacity Plus network. The data exchange between
the radioserver and radio subscribers is carried out via the NAI protocol by means of the installed MNIS and
DDMS services.

For Group Calls and Private Calls, the pool of control stations is used. One single control radio station is used for
each talkgroup in which the dispatcher/dispatchers must participate. Additionally, one or more radio stations are
installed to make Private Calls to the radio subscribers. In the example above three control stations are used to

make and receive Group Calls to talkgroups 1, 2, 4. Radio station 4 is used to make Private Calls to the radio
subscribers and receive Private Calls from them.

You can find more detailed information on the configuration of the control stations in Capacity Plus Hybrid mode in
the "MOTOTRBO SYSTEM PLANNER" documentation (System Topologies chapter) and the "SmartPTT

Data (hybrid mode)
When connecting to a Capacity Plus Muliti-Site network in hybrid mode, the principles of system topology and
building the system are the same as those when connecting to a Capacity Plus network in hybrid mode.

The remote control stations can be located in the radio coverage area of any site of the network.

5.5 RG-1000e Repeater mode 29

5.5 RG-1000e Repeater mode


The RG-1000e GATEWAY may be configured to work in Repeater mode, that allows to create simplest distributed
radio networks. In Repeater mode mobile radios and\or repeaters (analog or digital) are connected to the RG-
1000e GATEWAY just using 5 wires: PTT, CSQ, RX Audio, TX Audio and GND. Repeater mode doesn't utilize
any signaling systems like CTCSS, DQS, MDC1200, QT, Select V, DMR, dPMR and doesn't use digital links
USB\RS-232 to exchange commands with radios/repeaters.

In Repeater mode the RG-1000e GATEWAYs communicate to each other via IP networks directly, creating
transparent links for audio streams and PTT\CSQ commands. SmartPTT radioserver doesn't take part in this
process. Following picture shows how the RG-1000e GATEWAY may be used in Repeater mode.
