Does the RadioPro IP Gateway Support Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes.

The system uses a Gigabit Ethernet interface (1000 Mbps) and an asynchronous TCP socket architecture capable of high-throughput communication.

Actual throughput depends on deployment conditions and workload. In typical implementations, throughput can range from hundreds of Mbps under light load to lower sustained rates under heavier processing conditions.

It is important to note that RadioPro™ applications require relatively low network bandwidth (approximately 2.2 kBytes/s with audio compression, or 22 kBytes/s without), so Gigabit Ethernet provides ample capacity for reliable operation with significant headroom.

How do I sync the time servers of my gateways?

Use a Central Time Server or public NTP source.

There are several ways to accomplish this depending on how isolated your local network may be. If the network has no public internet access, consider using a Central Time server such as ATS (Absolute Time Server). However, if your network has open access to the internet consider using a public NTP source such as 'pool.ntp.org'.

Why is my Gateway status showing disconnected in the Dispatch Client?

There are several reasons that an IP Gateway would be shown as "disconnected":

  1. Each client and RadioPro IP Gateway must have compatible versions in order to communicate. For more details on version compatibility, see the Installation Guide page 22 "System Compatibility Considerations".
  2. The ethernet cable connecting the IP Gateway to the LAN or WAN may be disconnected.
  3. The IP Gateway must be powered on and must have completed its boot-up procedure. The boot-up procedure could take up to two minutes.
  4. Ensure that the router or switch between the PC and the Gateway has power.
  5. The Dispatch Client and the IP Gateway may be on different subnets. Possible Solutions:
    • Change the IP address and subnet masks of the Gateway and/or Dispatch so Dispatch can reach the IP Gateway
    • Configure Port Forwarding:
