MOBILE SET-UP

1:  Using the KPG111D configure the radio for GPS ( if required) and text messaging. You can download a sample .dat file from our website.   This set-up the mobile radio which will communicate with a local network or local NXR-700/800 repeater. 

BASE SET-UP

2:  Connect an NX-700/800 to your base computer where DataGate is installed using COM-1 in the NX-700/800. The base radio will communicate with a local network or NXR repeater.

3:  Install DataGate and Kenwood Source (download from our website) http://www.avl-software.com/Downloads/  in the base computer.  We also recommend that you install a copy of DataHost in the DataGate server for testing and monitoring purposes.

4: You will also have to configure each radio to process data. The required KPG-111d configuration settings for each radio can be found here. It is very important to set the group and unit IDs correctly allowing the network to route data to the appropriate radios. 

5: In the DataGate computer, start Kenwood Source (you should find it in the Datanet directory)  select View/Options set IP address as 127.0.0.1 Port should be 3607  enter a password ( your choice).  Under COM settings, select the port the base radio is connected to. Baud rate should be 9600,n,8,2  Timeout should be 60 seconds.

6: In DataGate select View/ Data Source. Click on the antenna in the top left corner to create a new source. Name it Kenwood.    Enter the same password you used in Radio Source program.  In Network, select radio and OK out of that screen.  Also OK out of the Data Source program and it should show “connected” 

7:  In DataGate, add a new device. ( refer to the DataGate Operators Manual)  As an Asset ID enter an xxx.xxx.xxx address, e.g. 100.1.1  ( each can be 000 to 255). Under Hardware Type, select Kenwood Radio and OK out of that screen. Double click on the line you just created to open up the configuration screen.  Give it a name, i.e. Mobile-1. Select Modems. Depending on whether you are using NXDN Digital or Fleetsync Analog you will enter the mobile radio group ID (if required) or only the radio unit ID. Select Kenwood in the Kenwood Source window and OK out of screen. Note: If you want to use "canned messages" from Mobile Radios to the Base DataHosts you would enter the messages in the Status Message panels. Refer to the Kenwood Manuals for more detail.

NOTE!  You can connect multiple Kenwood Source programs to the DataGate computer. This would apply where you had remote sites with a base radio and internet access. Attach a basic windows PC to the base radio and to the internet. Install a copy of Kenwood Source in the PC and enter the remote DataGate IP address and a password. At the dataGate, select View/DataSource and add another Kenwood Source as outlined above. It could be named Site-1 as an example.  Radio Sources and an internet link allows multiple Analog Fleetsync remote sites to be linked to a base over the Internet. This is for GPS data an text messaging only.

12:  At this point you should install DataHost which is the workstation program providing two-way messaging and GPS tracking on a map screen.  Download DataHost from our downloads webpage. Also refer to the operators manual on our technical support webpage. After you have installed DataHost you can route data from Mobius via DataGate to your DataHost.  

You should now be able to send messages between Mobius and your DataHost.
