ICOM IC-705 Terminal Mode

How to connect an ICOM IC-705 to the XLX257 reflector in Terminal Mode, step by step.

Network and port forwarding

1. Connect the transceiver to your Wi-Fi network and give it a static IP address. Once connected, an icon appears on the screen.
   
2. On the router, forward UDP ports 40000 and 12345-12346 from the internet to the transceiver's IP address.
   

Connecting to XLX257

3. Now set up the connection to the XLX257 reflector. Open the DV Gateway menu and set:
   
   DV Gateway -> Gateway Select -> Internal Gateway (WLAN)
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> Gateway Repeater (Server IP/Domain) -> xlxd257.uw0wu.com
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> Terminal AP Call sign -> U1ABC T (your callsign + spaces + T)
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> Gateway Type -> Global
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> UDP Hole Punch -> on
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> Allowed Call Sign -> Disable
   DV Gateway -> Internal Gateway Settings -> Allowed Call List -> empty

Terminal Mode

4. Leave the settings and switch on Terminal Mode:
   DV Gateway -> Terminal Mode. (The transceiver exits the menu.)
5. The source route (From) is already set. Now set the destination “To”:
   tap -> the value in the “To” field
   in the window that opens choose -> “Direct Input UR”
   enter the destination on the XLX257 reflector -> /XLX257A (no spaces)
   briefly press PTT to link to module “A” of XLX257.
6. Watch incoming and outgoing traffic via the icon on the transceiver's screen.
   
   Note: the ICOM IC-9700 and ID-52 connect the same way.
   
   Note: other reflectors and reflector modules are connected the same way.
