Is Windows firewall on or have you created exceptions in the firewall for the MIP5000?

Dorf411

Should be easy then, just plug in all of the gateways and connect to a network switch and turn on the PC's also connected to a switch and you should see the channel icons on the screen and hopefully they will be there without the large X over them. The tough part may be the lack of passwords to acce...

Make sure you have the USB channel license dongle. Find a copy of the MIP5000 manual and start reading, it is actually very intuitive and straight forward. I may still have a PDF copy of an older version but I have not messed with them for over 4 years. Start with the CSDM and configure the paramete...

Dorf411

It has been a while since I have done any configuration on the MIP5000 but as I recall when in the CSDM after you make changes you need to tell it to generate config files. That will place the new config files on the CSDM computer for the gateways to download when they boot up. So then you would nee...

Note that the Motorola way of doing the TX and RX naming of the wires is not what you would consider logical. TX from the L3276 is actually the RX audio going away from the L3276 to the tone remote. RX audio would be your TX audio from the tone remote going into the L3276. I am pretty certain I have...

I think the key problem here is the computer and software upgrade, what was the old version of MIP software and what is the new version? What was the process to do the software upgrade, did you follow the upgrade procedure to the letter? I have had issues upgrading from ver 3 up to ver 4 and have le...

Yeah, I think now that you mention it the card was an 8 channel E&M as it had signaling but we just used the 4 wire audio and skipped the other stuff.

Dorf411

In 2 applications we used Bayley MUX equipment over a T-1 with I think an FXS or FXO card I don't recall which one, the telco card was capable of being setup as a 4 wire full duplex circuit and it has worked great so far. I don't know if Bayley is still available but I think RAD makes some similar p...

I figured I would update this post, we did the project and I decided to go Zetron 6302. I would have to say they couldn't have made them any easier to setup and configure. We had the network guy setup the network path through various cisco devices and it works great with extremely easy connections. ...

If it were my first time setting an ip link up, I'd go with either the NXU or the Zetron. The Telex has a learning curve. To me looking at the manuals of all 3 the Telex appeared to be the most straight forward and obvious, what kind of learning curve are you talking about? A call to Telex and they...

I think I am leaning towards the IP-224 which is the replacement for the IP-223. I think I should be able to setup the near end for 4w tone control and hopefully the far end with local control with TX, RX Audio, PTT and COR. After a brief look through of the manual it appears I can choose not to use...

I have a project where I believe we will want to use some sort of IP Radio Gateway. I am considering the following: Telex IP224 IDA 21-28 Zetron 6302 JPS NXU-2A In the application that I intend to use them, I would want to connect the radio gateway to a console on the local end using 4 wire half dup...

I would start with putting a speaker on the consolette or using a MC3000 digital deskset to verify there is no missed audio caused by the consolette. Then assuming the radio is working properly I would look at the RX detect threshold in the CSDM configuration for the digital channels and maybe make ...

Dorf411

I would say it is still related to the Sonic Wall and Multicast traffic configuration. You will probably need a really good and patient network guy to get that going.

Dorf411

You need to tell the MIP5000 which audio to use, when off hook it needs to route your audio through the headset to the phone. Then when you you press the PTT and/or are back on hook the MIP will send your audio to the radio. Also when off hook it should route the rx audio to speaker vs. the headset.

The pics show the "basic" DDN9492 heasdset box, which gives gooseneck/headset/footswitch capabilities. For telephone interface capability, you would need the "Enhanced" headset box, part# DDN9493, which has an extra "Auxilliary" port where the telephone audio would int...

Why are you using a XTL5000 consolette with a W9, I thought that was only to be used with the digital junction box and related equipment like the MC3000? If you are tone controlling a consolette you should be using a W7 configured XTL5000.

Is there a way in the CPS to turn off the off hook monitor on these radios? I looked all over and could not seem to find it. I have more then a few trucks without grounded mic clips and the monitor stays on all the time. Thanks Why don't you just add a wire to ground the clip? Jim IF you read the F...

Thanks tvsjr. I knew it had to be some place in there. Jim, its not my truck, not my install, and they not going to pay me to fix the local M shop installs. But since I do have to add some new channels why not fix it the easy way. Take no offense, but by changing that feature in the CPS may not be ...

I looked for it and couldn't find it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I also did a search in help for "handset" and came up empty.

Yes, do you have a specific question?

Dorf411

There should be no problem using a simplex frequency and yes you would simply setup a base radio connected to a computer to receive the gps data. A very simple to use program is the Streettrek mapping and they provide some examples of codeplugs to help you get them setup properly. Another good thing...

I still think the Avtec Scout is an affordable option especially compared to someth...

Dorf411

I have put together some MIP5000 consoles at sites that only needed one or two positions. It is an okay console but is lacking in some areas like audio quality on the PC. You would probably be better off with a MCC5500 or maybe even something like the Avtec Scout.

Anyone else notice reduced sensitivity as compared to a Min5? I did some limited testing after programming a few 6's and felt they didn't receive as well as the 5's do. When at CPE this week, one of the friendly dealers near us said they did some extensive testing and feel they 6's are at least 3dB ...

Perhaps my assumption is correct, that there is no difference between the IS and non-IS pagers and batteries aside from price. I did however expect the IS pagers to have the green dot though.

Why wouldn't a computer be updated to XP SP3? I loaded it on one of our XP machines w/SP3 and it appeared to be running okay.

An alternate option is something like the Vertex VXR7000 that supports multiple PL codes out of the box for less money.

According to the NAPA site, the ST-95 is a starter solenoid. As such, it may not be rated for continuous duty.

Specs we found on NAPA ST-95 is 80 Amps, 16-20 ohm coil and continuous duty with copper contacts. Those relays do look like a good option as well.

APX4000 fits price wise just a little higher than the XTS2500, there will be an APX4000lite but I don't recall the projected availability. If I recall it will cost a bit more than the XTS1500 but yet less than the 2500, I think around $2,000.
