About Converter mode

If you communicate between the IP telephone and the transceiver, set the VE-PG2 to the Converter mode.
When you use the VE-PG2 in the Converter mode, an IP router (a third party product, either a SIP server or an IP-PBX) is 
required.
Set the extension numbers of the VE-PG2’s [TRX1], [TRX2] and [TRX3] into the IP router.

If  the  channel  for  transceiver  2 
and  transceiver  3  is  set  to  CH2, 
the transceivers can communicate 
with the IP telephone.

Example of the Converter mode operation: Calling the IP telephone from transceiver 1.

q

  Set transceiver 1’s channel to CH2, hold down [PTT], and speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.

 

•  If you set transceiver 2 and transceiver 3’s channel to CH2, transceiver 1 can also be heard on transceiver 2 and transceiver 3.

w

  When transceiver A receives a call from transceiver 1, it sends the voice signal to the VE-PG2.

   The VE-PG2 converts the voice signal to an RoIP signal, then transmits it from the [LAN] port to the IP router through the 

IP network, and the IP telephone rings.

e

  The  person  called  takes  the  IP  telephone  off  the  hook,  and  speaks  into  the  telephone  at  their  normal  voice  level. Their 

voice signal is sent to the IP router and the VE-PG2.

   The VE-PG2 converts the RoIP signal to the voice signal, then transceiver A receives it and transmits it on channel 2.
  Transceiver 1 receives the signal from transceiver A.

r

  When the IP telephone handset is put on the hook, or no audio is received from transceiver 1 or the IP telephone for 15 

seconds, the communication will be disconnected.

[NOTE]

  If  calling  transceiver  1  from  the  IP  telephone,  dial  extension  number “301”,  then  speak  into  the  telephone  at  your 

normal voice level.
