Re: MIP5000 Gurus???

What model gateways did you get? If they're TRBO Gateways you'll need a radio connected to the gateway in order for the resource to go green and not error out on the console.

You should be able to fire up the PC, make sure the DCPM is running with no errors and then launch the MIP application.
