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 Windows 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 PDN (Portable Digital Node) function:
1. Portable Digital Node Mode capable of Internet communication with digital stations.
2. Portable HRI Mode capable of Internet communication with both digital and analog stations.

Two forms of WIRES-X Access are supported, 'Direct Operation' and 'Access Point'.
1. In 'Direct Operation', the Portable Node station transceiver is used only without transmitting or receiving local 'On Air' radio signals.
2. In 'Access Point' the Portable Node station can be used to communicate 'On Air and relay nearby local C4FM digital transceivers, while simultaneously connected with the Internet rooms and nodes.
