To switch to Gateway mode
Press a customised soft key.
Alternatively follow these steps:
1. Press Menu then select Networks > Operating Mode.
2. Scroll to Gateway Mode and press Select.
3.
A large tick graphic is displayed and the gateway icon is displayed on the status line. After
various checks the top level screen message ‘Ready: Gateway’ appears. (If this does not
happen see the Tip above.)
If you do not see message ‘Ready: Gateway’, select a DMO talkgroup to connect to (described in
Selecting a talkgroup on page31). The radio remembers the last Direct mode talkgroup selected
for use in Gateway mode, and uses it automatically the next time the radio is switched into Gateway
mode.
When the radio is configured as a Gateway, the top level screen shows the TMO and DMO
talkgroups selected:
# Description
1 TMO talkgroup
2 DMO talkgroup
When in Gateway mode the radio makes no differentiation if the DMO talkgroup is a ‘Channel Only’
talkgroup. Please see DMO Mode on page71 for more information on DMO ‘Channel Only’
talkgroups.
Gateway states
A gateway can enter several states of operation, depending upon the status of calls through the
gateway, whether it has detected other gateways present or other users of the direct mode channel.
These states are reported as top level screen messages including the following:
Message Description
Monitoring Gateways Displayed when the radio is first switched to Gateway mode, or when the
DMO frequency is changed by requesting a new talkgroup or a previously
Occupied or Reserved channel is detected as free.

Occupied or Reserved.

been detected.
