Introduction
What is WIRES-X?
WIRES (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internet communication system which expands
the range of amateur radio communication. WIRES-X uses local nodes (stations connected to the Internet via PCs)
as access points to relay communications of conventional amateur radio stations. Mobile stations using WIRES-X can
communicate with amateur stations all over the world by using a local node access station operating within an amateur
band. WIRES-X supports the new C4FM digital communications mode, enabling C4FM digital signals to be repeated
without deterioration of the communication quality. In addition, several new functions making use of digital formats are
also made available.
What is WIRES-X Portable Digital Node Function?
Using the WIRES-X Portable Digital Node function, you can operate a WIRES-X digital node station by directly
connecting a compatible C4FM digital transceiver with a PC. The HRI-200 Internet interface kit is not needed and no
fixed or dynamic global IP address is required.)
There are two operating modes of the WIRES-X Portable Digital Node function:
Portable Digital Node Mode capable of Internet communication with digital stations.
Portable HRI Mode capable of Internet communication with both digital and analog stations.
Portable Digital Node Mode
（Supports Internet communication only in C4FM Digital Mode）
Requires a Yaesu C4FM Portable Digital Node capable transceiver (FT5D, FT3D, FT2D, FTM-400XD/D or FTM-100D)
an SCU-19 USB Connection Cable (FT5DR/DE, FT3DR/DE or FT2DR/DE) or SCU-20 USB Connection Cable (FTM-
400XD/D or FTM-100D) and a PC with WIRES-X Software and Internet connection.
Two forms of WIRES-X Access are supported, “Access Point” and “Direct Operation”.
In “Access Point” the Portable Node station (FT5D, FT3D, FT2D, FTM-400XD/D or FTM-100D) can be used to
communicate “On Air and relay nearby local C4FM digital transceivers, while simultaneously connected with the
Internet WIRES-X digital rooms and digital node stations.
In “Direct Operation”, the Portable Node (FT5D, FT3D, FT2D, FTM-400XD/D or FTM-100D) station transceiver is
used only for WIRES-X Internet communications without transmitting or receiving local “On Air” radio signals.
Access Point
In this mode, WIRES-X C4FM communications are made by either directly using the USB connected Portable Dig-
ital Node Station transceiver PTT, microphone, and speaker, or via another local C4FM transceiver communicating
on frequency with the USB connected Portable Digital Node Station transceiver. The Portable Digital Node Station
transceiver connects directly to the PC and the Internet, and then communicates with WIRES-X Nodes and Rooms.
The Portable Digital Node Station transceiver relays the local C4FM stations and signals to the Internet and trans-
mits the Internet Node and Room signals to the local stations. This mode allows the flexibility to operate the Portable
Digital Node directly from a single USB connected Portable Digital Node Station transceiver, or to access WIRES-X
Nodes and Rooms from one or several local C4FM transceivers.

Requires a Yaesu C4FM Portable Digital Node capable transceiver, a USB Connection Cable, audio cables and a PC
with WIRES-X Software and Internet connection. (The HRI-200 interface is not used).
In the Portable HRI Mode configuration, either the Access Point operation or the Direct operation may be activated:
Access Point
（Portable HRI Mode）
In this mode, WIRES-X C4FM and Analog communications are made via another local C4FM transceiver
communicating on frequency with the connected Portable Digital Node Station. The Portable Digital Node Station
transceiver relays the local C4FM and Analog signals to the Internet and transmits the Internet Node and Room signals
to the local stations. This Node mode allows the flexibility to operate the Portable Digital Node to access WIRES-X
Nodes and Rooms from one or several local C4FM transceivers.

Direct Operation
（Portable HRI Mode）
In this mode, you can communicate in digital mode or analog mode via the Internet. WIRES-X communications are
made directly by using the USB connected Portable Digital Node Station Transceiver. The microphone signal is sent
only to the PC and the Internet. The Internet signals are heard only in the Portable Digital Node Station transceiver
speaker. (When communicating in “Direct Operation” on “Portable HRI Mode” using FT5D, FT3D or FT2D, the Inter-
net signals are heard only from the PC speaker.) In this Direct Operation, the Portable Digital Node Station transceiver
does not transmit or receive over the air.

Transceiver settings (Access Point only)
When using “Access Point” of Portable HRI Mode, set the operating frequency and parameters etc. of the transceiver
by using the following procedure:
It is not necessary to make these settings when using “Direct Operation”.
When using “Access Point” of Portable Digital Node Mode, only the “Hide frequency settings” item can be set using the
following procedure. When the transceiver is connected and operation of the “Node Mode” is started, the other items settings
are transferred from the transceiver and can only be confirmed.
1. From the “File” menu, click “Transceiver”.
The “Transceiver” window will appear.
2. Set the operating frequency of the Portable Digital Node Station.
Frequency
:
Enter the operating frequency.
Narrow
Deviation
:
Select if using narrow deviation operation.
（default: Unchecked）
DG-ID
:
Select the DG-ID (Digital Group ID) number 00 to 99 (default setting: 00)
When the DG-ID number is set to “00”, the node becomes an open node. The subcode on the right
can be set from “00” to “26”.
When DG-ID number is set to “00” and subcode is set to “00”, C4FM digital signals of all DG-ID
numbers are relayed.
When DG-ID number is set to “00” and subcode is set from “01” to “26”, C4FM digital signals without
the matching subcode will not be relayed. The C4FM digital transceiver accessing the WIRES-X
DG-ID “AUTO” node station is automatically set to the same subcode and can communicate while
accessing it.
• By setting the DG-ID number to “00”, the station becomes an open node station, and can be
connected from all transceivers with the WIRES-X DG-ID setting “AUTO”. When using a node
station in a restricted group, set the DG-ID to a number “01” to “99”, and then set all the group
transceivers to the same DG-ID number.
• The DG-ID Subcode cannot be used or set in Portable Digital Node mode.

you do not want split operation.
（default: blank）
Reverse
:
When unchecked, reception (uplink) at the operating frequency and transmission (downlink) at the
offset frequency are made.
Hide frequency
settings:
When remove the check mark, the operation information (frequency and squelch setting) will be
displayed in the node list. It takes about 10 minutes for the setting to be reflected in the node list.
