4.6 Bridge mode
The RG-1000e Bridge Mode can be used for interconnecting multiple radios and/or repeaters in a single radio
network. It creates a simple "geographically distributed" repeater. In the Bridge Mode, mobile radios and/or
repeaters (analog or digital) are connected to the RG-1000e using five wires: PTT, CSQ, RX Audio, TX Audio and
GND. The Bridge Mode does not support any signaling systems (CTCSS, DQS, MDC1200, QT, Select V, DMR,
dPMR) and does not use digital links (USB, RS-232) to exchange commands with radios/repeaters.
In Bridge Mode, the RG-1000e s communicate with each other directly via IP networks, creating transparent links
for audio streams and PTT/CSQ commands. SmartPTT radioserver does not take part in this process. The
following figure shows how the RG-1000e can be used in Bridge Mode:
