2TRBOnet Swift A200 – User Manual
2About TRBOnet Swift A200
TRBOnet Swift A200 (also referred to as the "A200 gateway") is a hardware radio-over-
IP gateway designed to interface your TRBOnet Server to a MOTOTRBO or non-
MOTOTRBO control (donor) radio, or a MOTOTRBO repeater in the analog or digital
mode.
2.1 Features
Compact size and light weight
Wireless and wired connection with control radios
Support for 10 connections with TRBOnet Servers
Interfaces:
7 I/O contacts for external hardware (SCADA, sensors, and other)
USB interface for wired communication with MOTOTRBO control radios and
repeaters
NRF interface for wireless communication with a MOTOTRBO radio
Audio interface for wired communication with non-MOTOTRBO control
radios
LAN interface for the wired IP connection (Ethernet 10/100Base-T, 10/100
Mbit/s)
Micro-USB port for programming
12V DC power supply
OLED display
Support for flash cards with capacities up to 32 Gb
Quick and easy connection and setup
Unattended operation that does not require regular maintenance
2.2 Capabilities
A gateway between a radio channel and an IP network
A radio connected to the A200 gateway can transfer voice and data to all
connected TRBOnet Servers over IP. The A200 gateway performs no encryption
of the transferred voice and data traffic.
Remote control
TRBOnet control room operators can control a connected radio remotely by
sending commands (power on/off, channel and zone selection) over IP.
Self-check and alarm notification
The A200 gateway performs continuous monitoring of all connections and
physical parameters (interior temperature, battery status). When an error is
detected, the device shows the corresponding information on the display and
sends an alarm notification to all connected TRBOnet Servers. The notification
is displayed on the screens of TRBOnet control room operators.

2.3 Restrictions
1. Due to changes introduced by Motorola into recent MOTOTRBO firmware, we do
not recommend that you use the A200 gateway in the wireless (NRF) mode in
conjunction with MOTOTRBO radios that have firmware version 2.60 and higher.
The latest firmware that can be used in this mode is 2.05.60. The A200 gateway
can work with newer firmware in the wired (USB) mode.
2. The A200 gateway in the wireless (NRF) mode does not support revert channels
and data repeaters. The A200 gateway in the wired (USB) mode must be used
instead.
3. We do not recommend to install any Swift IP Gateways in the same subnet as
trunked repeaters (applies to Capacity Plus and Linked Capacity Plus).

Figure 8: Connecting the option board to the main board of the radio
Align the option board to the mounting holes ensuring that the flex tabs are
against the chassis alignment posts.
Using a T6 TORX™ driver, tighten the three screws to 0.28 N-m (2.5 lbs-in) to
secure the option board to the chassis.
Assemble the control head seal on the radio. Assemble the control head to the
radio chassis by aligning one side of the control head assembly tabs to one
side of the radio chassis tabs and then rotate the control head assembly until
the other side engages.
Note: Verify that the control head seal is not pinched and not visible. If a pinch is
found, disassemble the control head, reseat the seal and reassemble the
control head.
3.1.3 Configuring the Radio
After you have installed the option board into your MOTOTRBO radio, configure the
radio using the MOTOTRBO CPS software.
