QTH WIRES-X Configuration
WIRES-X network connectivity consists of a FTM-100DR connected to the HRI-200 via a data cable, connecting the FTM-100DR to the HRI-200 does not require registration of the FTM-100DR with the WIRES-X network. Connecting the FTM-100DR to the HRI-200 via the data cable provided with the HRI-200 provides local access to WIRES-X network via a simplex frequency I have chosen to use 147.550. 
 
Access to the WIRES-X network is accomplished locally by utilizing my handheld, FT3DR, and when I am away from my QTH but still local to my QTH access is gained via my FT-3200DR. 
 
Accessing WIRES-X while not local to QTH
Access to the WIRES-X network when I am not local to my QTH is provided by my handheld, FT3DR, connected via a USB cable to the WIRES-X software I have installed on a ASUS tablet. Connecting the FT3DR to the WIRES-X software installed on the ASUS tablet does require its registration with WIRES-X network. A RACCT Juke USB sound card is used with the ASUS tablet. 
 
In the event the HRI-200 experiences an operational failure the FTM-400XDR can be connected via a USB cable to the WIRES-X software installed on my HP desktop PC. Connecting the FTM-400XDR to the WIRES-X software on the HP desktop PC does require its registration with the WIRES-X network. Local access is provided by utilizing the FTM-400XDR's 'Direct' mode of WIRES-X operation when connected to the WIRES-X software. When I am away from my QTH but still local to my QTH access is provided by utilizing the FTM-400XDR's 'Access' mode of WIRES-X operation when connected to the WIRES-X software.
