HyTracks Manual Remote Gateway 1.5

Overview

The HyTracks Remote Gateway acts as an 'extension' of the main Server. The reason to use the Remote Gateway in a HyTracks system is to cover distant regions where the control stations connected to the main Server cant reach via RF.

The Remote Gateway is installed on a Windows based computer, and up to 4 radios can be connected via USB + audio cable.

It is required IP CONNECTION between Remote Gateway PC and Server PC.

The control stations connected to a Remote Gateway PC are displayed on dispatcher screen just like the stations connected to the Server. In other words, it is completely transparent for the dispatcher the existence of one or several Remote Gateways in the system.

Bellow is a example of how the Remote Gateway works in a HyTracks system:
