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. LLOther stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing. LLWhen 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: Other station Internet IC-9700 D-STAR repeater Connect to the [LAN] port When using the External Gateway function Even if you cannot connect the transceiver to the Internet directly, or you want to use a cellular system, you can use the DV Gateway function by using a Windows or Android device that is running the RSMS3W or RS-MS3A application.

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.
