Before connecting the OPC-2357 to the PC

To use the OPC-2357 PROGRAMMING CABLE, you must first install a USB driver. The driver and installation guide are supplied with the programming cable. Read the guide carefully before installing the driver.

Connecting with PC

1. Be sure the transceiver is OFF, and Windows has completed its startup.
2. Connect the cable, as shown below.
3. Turn ON the transceiver.

The OPC-2357 programming cable connects the Main Unit to the PC via a USB connector. The diagram also shows a "Turn OFF" indicator on the Antenna Unit and a "To a USB connector" label for the PC.

Editing Network Setting

NOTE:

• To prevent data loss, you should first read all the transceiver's setting data into the EX-4241. Before editing or entering, make a backup file onto your PC. A backup file enables easy restoring even if the setting data in the transceiver is accidentally deleted. After that, enter or edit parameters using the EX-4241. If you write the setting data into your transceiver before reading, the settings are overwritten. See page 5 to read the data from the transceiver settings and to save the settings file.
• DO NOT turn OFF the transceiver or the PC, and DO NOT disconnect the cable while reading or writing setting data. Otherwise, the data could be lost or deleted.

1. Click "EX-4241" in the Start menu, and then click "EX-4241" to start the software. For Microsoft® Windows® 8.1: Navigate from to EX-4241. You can also start the software by simply double-clicking the EX-4241 shortcut icon on the desktop.
2. Click "Port Select" from the <COM Port> menu, and then select the COM port number that the programming cable is connected to.
3. Click, or select "Read <- TR" in the <Program> menu to read the data from the setting data.
4. Click "Network Settings" and set the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for the IC-SAT100M Main Unit and Antenna Unit.
5. When registering two or more IC-SAT100M to VE-PG4, set the Control Port and Voice Port.
6. Click, or select "Write -> TR" in the <Program> menu to write the setting data into the transceiver.

This is a default setting.

About basic operation

To read the data from the transceiver

Select "Read <- TR" in the <Program> menu.

To write the setting data into the transceiver

Select "Write -> TR" in the <Program> menu.

To reset to the transceiver default settings

Select "All Reset" in the <Program> menu. Connect the Main Unit and the Antenna Unit, as shown in the illustration on page 3. If you select "All Reset," the settings on the IC-SAT100M Menu screen are also initialized.

To save the settings file to a folder on your PC

Select "Save" or "Save As..." in the <File> menu. If you have a data file to write to the transceiver, select "Open..." in the <File> menu, and then select the file.

COM Port Searching

To Confirm the COM port number

1. Click the folder icon [File Explorer Icon] on the taskbar.
2. Right-click "This PC," and then click "Properties."
3. Click [Device Manager]. The "Device Manager" screen is displayed.
4. Double-click "Ports (COM & LPT)." The COM port for the Icom USB-to-Serial Comm Port will be displayed.

Connecting with the network devices

After changing the IP address of the IC-SAT100M, connect the black LAN cable (for network) and the network devices such as a HUB.

Black: for network

Gray: for the Antenna Unit

Connecting the VE-PG4

The following is an example of connecting the RoIP Gateway and Satellite PTTs (IC-SAT100M), that enables you to make a call between an IP transceiver and a client Satellite PTT in the set Talkgroup on the RoIP Gateway.

• Each IC-SAT100M connected to the RoIP Gateway is required to be assigned a fixed unique group ID.
• Enter only one fixed Talkgroup to the IC-SAT100M.

Two IC-SAT100M units are shown as 'Transceiver A' and 'Transceiver B', connected to the network and acting as Satellite PTT clients and IP Transceivers. Each unit has specific IP addresses, voice/control port numbers, and group IDs.

Connecting to the IP Network

Connect to the network, and then set up the connection and destination settings on the RoIP Gateway setting screen. This instruction describes as the IP transceiver setup has been completed.

1. Open the RoIP Gateway screen. (Connection Port Settings > RoIP Gateway)
2. In [RoIP Gateway Mode], set Mode to "Transceiver" in the RoIP Gateway (1 ~ 8) that you want to connect the Transceiver A (IC-SAT100M) to. (Example: RoIP Gateway 1)
3. In [RoIP Gateway], select a RoIP Gateway port (1 ~ 8) that you set in the step 2, and then confirm that the [Transceiver Model] is set to "IC-SAT100M." (Example: RoIP Gateway 1)
4. In [Transceiver Connection], enter the Transceiver A (IC-SAT100M) settings to Destination Address, Destination Port Number, and Control Port Number. Then click [Apply].
5. In [Transceiver Connection], click [Connect]. The Connection Status changes to "Connecting."
6. Do the same way in the steps 2 to 5, enter the Transceiver B (IC-SAT100M) settings.

Screenshots of the RoIP Gateway and Transceiver Connection settings screens are described here, showing fields for Mode, Transceiver Model, Destination Address, Destination Port Number, Control Port Number, and Connection Status.

Entering the Destination Settings

This instruction describes as the IP transceiver setup has already been completed.

1. Open the Destination Settings screen. (Destination Settings > Destination Settings)
2. In [Destination Settings], enter the settings for the Transceiver A (Name, Call Type, Destination ID, and IP Transceiver Controller), and then click [Apply].
3. Do the same way in step 2, enter the Group 00002 settings.

Screenshots of the Destination Settings screen are described here, showing fields for Name, Call Type, Destination ID, IP Transceiver Controller, and Communication Type.
