Thank you for purchasing the VE-PG3. The VE-PG3 is a network converter that allows you to connect Icom radios or repeaters to a VoIP network. This guide describes the basic settings to operate the VE-PG3. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using. 1 Connect the devices to the VE-PG3 in order of q to y. • Do not connect to the IP network before the configuration is finished. • A HUB which supports 100BASE-TX or better is recommended. Otherwise, an unexpected failure of communication may be caused. • The VE-PG3 can be directly connected to the PC using a MDI-X (crossover) type Ethernet cable. y Verify that the LEDs light When the [LAN] LEDs on the rear don't light, verify that the LAN cable is securely connected. qw LED indication: q Lights: Full duplex Doesn't light: Half duplex w Lights: Connected to the network Blinks: While the line is communicating q Attach the cushions Cushion Sheet (Supplied with the VE-PG3) w Attach the ferrite EMI filter Power cable Ferrite EMI filter (Supplied with the VE-PG3) Wrap the cable once around the ferrite EMI filter.
