VERVIEW

RadioPro™ provides remote access to 2-way radios via IP Networks. This “Dispatch over IP” (DoIP) solution consists
of PC-based software allowing voice and data communications between PC users and 2-way radio subscribers.
Communications with radio subscribers is also possible for remote mobile users using Android or iOS devices. A
RadioPro system consists of at least one RadioPro IP Gateway (server) and at least one client (Dispatch™, Solo™,
Talk™, or Talk for Mobile™) with an IP network connecting the RadioPro components.

1.1 System Components

CTI’s Dispatch over IP system is based on Server-Client architecture. System components are described below:

 RadioPro IP Gateway Kit (CTI Part # S2-61815) is the hardware

interface that connects a mobile radio (control station) to an IP

network. The IP Gateway is the Server for the control station radio

connected to it. Each control station radio used for voice requires one
IP Gateway. System components, such as IP Gateways and clients, may be located together or separated
geographically and connected via a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Virtual Private Network (VPN). Each
IP Gateway requires a static IP address. Each IP Gateway includes a cable to connect it to the Control
Station radio. For more information, see the following documents:

RadioPro IP Gateway - Installation and Con f i guration Manual, Document # S2-61781
RadioPro IP Gateway Data Sheet
RadioPro System Brochure

 RadioPro Dispatch Client (CTI Part #s S1-61770

Core, S1-61771 Voice Module, S1-61772 GPS
Module, S1-61773 Telemetry Module, S1-61774
Text Messaging Module) is a dispatch console for
PCs that provides voice dispatching to multiple
simultaneous radio channels or talk groups, as well as
GPS/AVL, Telemetry, Text Messaging, and Voice
Logging. Windows 8 Pro or Windows 7 Pro
operating system is required. This application can be
used with either Motorola MOTOTRBO or Kenwood
NEXEDGE systems. System components, such as Dispatch clients and IP Gateways, may be located
together or separated geographically and connected via a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Virtual Private
Network (VPN). For more information, see the following information:

 Talk™ for Windows PC is a software application for PCs and laptops that provides

voice dispatching to a single radio channel or talk group. Other features include Voice
Logging for 24 hours, Text Messaging, and channel steering. Windows 8 or Windows 7
operating system is required. This application can be used with either Motorola
MOTOTRBO or Kenwood NEXEDGE systems. System components, such as Talk
Clients and IP Gateways, may be located together or separated geographically and
connected via a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Virtual Private Network (VPN). For
more information, see the following documents:

RadioPro Talk for PC Data Sheet
RadioPro System Brochure

 Solo™ Client is the legacy software application for PCs that provides voice dispatching to a single radio

channel or talk group. It requires Windows 10, 8, 7, or XP operating system. The virtual radio head
duplicates the full functionality of a XPR4550/5550 control
station, including channel steering. Other features include
Texting and Voice Logging for 24 hours. For more
information, see the following documents:

TurboVUi Solo Installation Guide, Document # S2­61568
TurboVUi Solo User Guide, Document # S2-61432
RadioPro Solo Data Sheet
RadioPro System Brochure

 Talk™ for mobile devices is a mobile app for Android™ and iPhone™/iPad™ that

provides remote access to a 2-way radio system for voice communications. This
application can be used with either Motorola MOTOTRBO or Kenwood NEXEDGE
systems. The Mobile app is useful over cellular or Wi-Fi networks when you are on-the­go and outside the coverage of your radio system, yet still need radio communications. For
more information, see the following documents:

RadioPro Talk for Mobile Devices How-to-Guide
RadioPro Talk for Mobile Devices Data Sheet
RadioPro System Brochure

 Control Station Radio - A control station radio must be used as the interface to the radio system, and

connects to a RadioPro IP Gateway using the rear accessory/communications port. Each control station
radio used for voice requires one IP Gateway. Radio models that can be used for a Control Station radio
and provide full radio functionality from a RadioPro client include:

 Kenwood NEXEDGE: NX-700/800

NX-720/820 (see notes on Page 60)

 Motorola MOTOTRBO: XPR5550/5580 (North America)

DGM5500/8500 (Latin America)
DM4600/4601 (Europe)
XiR M8260/M8268/M8660/M8668 (Asia Pacific)

Other radio models may be used with limited functionality by using the “Basic RxTx” configuration. This
simple interface provides only talk and listen.

 Personal Computer or Workstation is required to host the RadioPro Dispatch, Solo, or Talk client.

Console accessories may include microphone and speakers (or headset), Push-to-Talk footswitch, and
touch screen monitor.

RadioPro IP Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide

1.2 Architecture

The IP Gateways interface the radio system to an IP network. One IP Gateway is required for each control station radio
used for voice. The IP Gateways and control station radios can be centrally located or scattered among different
locations using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) such as the Internet.

Each IP Gateway in a RadioPro system acts as the server for the Control Station Radio connected to it, and ensures easy
wide-area deployment. Since there is not a server PC, the architecture reduces “single point-of-failure” concerns.

A system may have a mixture of RadioPro Dispatch, Solo, and Talk Clients, as well as RadioPro Talk for Mobile apps
running on mobile devices. These Clients may be centrally located or scattered among different locations using a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) such as the Internet.

1.2.1 System Maximum Build-out

A RadioPro system may have maximum components listed below.

System Component Maximum

Dispatch™ Clients 20

Simultaneous Solo, Talk, and Talk for Mobile client connections per IP Gateway 80

IP Gateways 50

1.2.2 System Planner Document and Template

The System Planner (Document # S2-61645) includes examples for various radio network topologies, and should be
consulted if the RadioPro Dispatch client is being deployed.

Use the 8. System Planner Template Page 1 of 2 (located at the end of this document) in the planning phase of a

project to record IP addresses, usernames, passwords, serial numbers, and device names.

7

RadioPro IP Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide

1.3 Environmental Considerations

The operating environment for the IP Gateway must be within limits noted in the specifications, as well as other
conditions. Do not install equipment in an area where any of the following exist:

 Extreme temperature and humidity beyond limits listed in the specifications
 High EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) or RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)
 High dust concentration
 High ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
 Extreme Vibration

1.3.1 RF Interference

To prevent RF interference, Mobile radio antennas should be kept a minimum of 24 feet from the RadioPro IP
Gateway when in high-power mode, or a minimum of 12 feet when in low-power mode. Portable radios should be
kept a minimum of 6 feet from the RadioPro IP Gateway.

1.3.2 Lightning and Fire Protection

Lightning protection should be implemented at both the equipment and at the point of entry of the building. Lightning
protection and power transient protection should be implemented to reduce the risk of fire caused by these phenomena.
Circuit breakers and fuses offer the best methods for preventing extended over-current and over-voltage conditions.

1.3.3 Power Requirements

When using the supplied AC power adapter, each IP Gateway requires 100-240VAC, 200mA maximum.

When connecting a DC supply directly to the IP Gateway, each IP Gateway requires the following input, depending on
the IP Gateway Serial Number:

IP Gateway Serial Numbers Voltage Range

1000 through 3153 11.5 – 12.5 VDC

3154 and higher 12.0 – 32.0 VDC

1.4 RadioPro Version Match

RadioPro Dispatch clients and IP Gateways must have compatible versions in order to communicate with each other.
Compatibility can be ensured when the first two digits of the version match. (The third digit indicates a minor revision,

and does not need to match.) See section 6.4 Appendix – System Compatibility Considerations on page 55 for more

details.

8

RadioPro IP Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide

1.5 Static IP Address

Each RadioPro IP Gateway requires a static IP address. The IP Gateway must have IP Network Parameters
configured using ICU.exe (IP Configuration Utility) before connecting to an active network. Contact the IT
administrator in order to provide a static IP Address for each RadioPro IP Gateway, along with its Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway.

1.6 Accessing the RadioPro IP Gateway using Port Forwarding

If RadioPro clients (such as Dispatch, Solo, Talk, or Talk for Mobile) will access an IP Gateway from a different IP
network, then the IT Administrator must configure port forwarding within the firewall or router(s) that separates the
RadioPro IP Gateway from the clients. This is also true when one or more of the clients listed above will connect to a

RadioPro IP Gateway from the Internet. See Step 5. Configure Port Forwarding on Firewall Device on Page 51 for

more information.

1.7 Licensing

1.7.1 RadioPro Dispatch Clients

Each PC that runs the RadioPro Dispatch client requires a unique software license file to be imported during installation
of the software. The license file specifies the number of IP Gateways that a RadioPro Dispatch console can connect to,
as well as licensing for GPS and Text Messaging options. Connections for additional IP Gateways can be purchased
and added to the license file at any time.

1.7.2 RadioPro Talk and Solo Clients for PC, and RadioPro Talk for Mobile Apps

For client types other than RadioPro Dispatch, a license file is factory-installed on the IP Gateway, and allows Client
Connections from Talk and Solo clients (for PCs and Notebooks) and Talk for Mobile apps (for Android™ and
iPhone™/iPad™). Client Connections can be purchased when the IP Gateway is purchased, and can easily be added to
an IP Gateway that is already installed. The number of Client Connections on the license file is the maximum number
of simultaneous users of Talk, Solo, and Talk for Mobile Devices.

The number of Client Connections installed on the license file is indicated on the serial number label located on the

bottom of the IP Gateway. It can also be determined using the ICU.exe utility. See Step 3. Configure RadioPro IP

Gateway on Page 43 for more details.

Additional CPS Setup for Connect Plus Channels

In a Connect Plus radio, the Connect Plus Option Board is configured with the various Talk Groups of the
radio system. The Connect Plus Option Board CPS is used to configure these various Talk Groups, or
“Zones”. However, for a radio that is used as a control station, since the Connect Plus Option Board cannot
pass this information out the rear connector, an application (such as RadioPro Dispatch, Solo, Talk, or Talk for
Mobile) does not have knowledge of these Connect Plus “Zones” (talk groups).

Further, MOTOTRBO CPS is used to configure a radio for only one digital “Channel”, i.e., “Transportation”.
Control of the talk group selection is passed to the Option Board by enabling two options described in Step 7h
below.

In order to allow selection of a talk group from a RadioPro client, the following configuration must be
performed for a Control Station radio using MOTOTRBO CPS.

h. In the Channels folder, add a quantity of channels to match the number of zones configured in the

Connect Plus Option Board. In the following screen shot, Channel1, Channel2, etc., have been added
to match the number of “Zones” configured in the Connect Plus Option Board. The Channel Names are
not important since these names are not transferred out of the rear connector of the control station radio;
only the generic names of “Channel1”, “Channel2”, etc. will be sent to a RadioPro client.

i. For each of the added channels, enable both the Option Board and Option Board Trunking

parameters. It is not necessary to change any other parameters.

After writing the CPS configuration to the control station radio, the radio will send messages to the
RadioPro IP Gateway and indicate that the radio has been programmed for the “additional” talk groups.

ICU.exe can be used to view and configure the IP Gateway for zones and channels as follows:

i. Use the Zones/Channels tab in ICU.exe to view Channel names as they will appear in

RadioPro clients. By default, they will be generically named “Channel1”, Channel2”, etc.

ii. If it is desired to display more descriptive channel names, right-click on a channel name to edit it.

8. Writing CPS Parameters to Radio:

After writing the CPS parameters to the MOTOTRBO Control Station radio, remove the programming cable from
the Control Station radio. A programming cable connected to the front mic connector on the Control Station radio
will prevent communications to a RadioPro IP Gateway from the Rear Accessory Connector. Therefore, when a
cable is connected to the Rear Accessory Connector to connect a RadioPro IP Gateway or a PC (during
programming), ensure that the programming cable has been disconnected from the front mic connector.

iii. If it is desired that a channel or zone not be displayed in a RadioPro client, click on the zone or

channel, and then uncheck the Visible parameter near the bottom of this tab page.

iv. Write the new configuration to the RadioPro IP Gateway by choosing Write Settings from the
