15� ABOUT THE DV GATEWAY FUNCTION
About the DV Gateway function
Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway
function. The function has two modes, the Terminal mode and the Access Point mode.
L
Other stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing.
L
When using the DV Gateway function, you cannot make a direct Local Area call.
IMPORTANT:
• Before operating in the Terminal mode or the Access Point mode,
BE SURE
to check your local regulations or
laws.
• Register your call sign (MY) at a gateway server.*
• Register the Terminal/AP call sign that is set in the transceiver, RS-MS3A, or RS-MS3W to the RS-RP3C
gateway control software
as the access point.*
* Ask the gateway repeater administrator for details.

Within the transmit and receive range of the Access Point transceiver. The range will vary, depending on the operating

Any model as long as the transceiver is D-STAR capable. Only one D-STAR transceiver can access the Access Point at the
same time.
NOTE: When using the DV Gateway function
• When operating in the Access Point mode, you need two call signs. One for the Access Point transceiver and
one for the Remote D-STAR transceiver. (p. 15-3)
• You need an Internet connection with an IPv4 Global IP address. If you use a cellular system, you need an IPv4
Global IP address assigned to your Windows or Android device.
• When you use your Windows or Android device, read the RS-MS3W or RS-MS3A instruction manual in addition
to this document. They can be downloaded from the Icom website. (pp. 15-12, 15-13)
