• NRF for the wireless connection to a MOTOTRBO radio
• USB for the wired connection to a MOTOTRBO radio
• LAN for the wired IP connection (Ethernet 10/100Base-T, 100 Mbit/s)
• Micro-USB port for programming
12V DC power supply
OLED display
Support for flash cards with capacities up to 32 Gb
Quick and easy connection and setup
Unattended operation that does not require regular maintenance
2.2. Capabilities
A gateway from a radio channel to an IP network
A MOTOTRBO radio connected to Swift A200 can transfer voice and data to all
connected TRBOnet Servers over IP. Swift A200 performs no encryption of the
transferred voice and data traffic.
Remote control
TRBOnet control room operators can control a connected MOTOTRBO radio
remotely by sending commands (power on/off, channel and zone selection) over
IP.
Self-check and alarm notification
Swift A200 performs continuous monitoring of all connections and physical
parameters (interior temperature, battery status). When an error is detected, the
device shows the corresponding information on the display and sends an alarm
notification to all connected TRBOnet Servers. The notification is displayed on
the screens of TRBOnet control room operators.
