This is controlled or monitored by the admin on the IP Gateway through the ICU.exe utility. This utility is used to configure static IP address, as well as User Names and Passwords for the Mobile app users. User Names and Passwords may be created and deleted using this utility.

See the RadioPro IP Gateway Installation Guide page 16 “Solo/Talk Mobile Clients”.

As many as you want.

Question 7

If someone connects, does it stay connected until they disconnect or does it time out?

ctiproducts · Accepted Answer

They stay connected until they choose to disconnect.

If the connection is temporarily lost while in a moving vehicle due to a change in cellular data, or switching reception from cellular to Wi-Fi, the app will continue to attempt to reconnect to the IP Gateway until a connection is re-established.

Question 8

Why does the connection drop and not reconnect when switching from cellular data to Wi-Fi?

ctiproducts · Accepted Answer

A RadioPro™ Talk app connecting through the Internet(cellular), may pass through a different set of firewall rules than a RadioPro™ Talk app connecting through a Wifi connection.

It may be necssary to have 2 connections set up in the RadioPro™ Talk app. One for the Wi-Fi connection that looks like 10.xx.xx.xx or 192.xx.xx.xx and the other that has the static IP address exposed to the internet.
The Network infrastructure that hosts the RadioPro™ IP Gateway may need a modification to allow access through the Wifi Firewall. The documentation for Port Forwarding may be helpful in this case as well. Please See the RadioPro IP Gateway Installation Guide page 19 "Configure Port Forwarding".

Question 9

Why does the connection drop and not reconnect when switching from Wi-Fi to cellular?

ctiproducts · Accepted Answer

The cellular network that your phone is switching to may not have enough bandwidth. RadioPro Talk™ App V.1.8 added an option to enable data compression.
The IP Address of the RadioPro™ IP Gateway may not be reachable from your cellular network. Configure Port Forwarding. See the RadioPro IP Gateway Installation Guide page 19 "Configure Port Forwarding".
