2About Swift A200
TRBOnet Swift A200 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 Swift A200 can transfer voice and data to all connected
TRBOnet Servers over IP. Swift A200 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
Swift A200 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 Swift IP Gateways A001, A002 and A200 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. Please do not update your control radios beyond this version number if you
have A001 or A002 in the wireless (NRF) mode.
2. Swift IP Gateways A001, A002 and A200 in the wireless (NRF) mode do 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).
