present status of set up is still not connecting.   
We exchanged the 250U Sprint because it would not acquire an IP.  The new one will.
Also exchanged the router for a cradlepoint MB95 which is known to work with a lot of
remote 3G aps.
I have bypassed my hawkings repeater by running 200 feet of CAT5 cable to shop.
Everything works thru the shop router, and DJ0QN can connect with my radio with his TS480
control head from Germany but my TS480 control head will not connect thru (the 3rd 3G Router). 
Now it looks like there must be a problem with the RRC Control box?? Even though it works
thru the shop router,  it does not connect via 3g.  Since I am not an IT guy,  someone
please tell me!  HI

After receiving the APN, password, info from John I bought another zoom and tried it. But evidently my local at&t server uses different info.  I called Zoom tech support and the technician gave me about 5 more sets of APNs, Dial ups, Passwords Etc for at&t but none of them worked.  I could access the internet via the laptop thru the zoom, but at&t must have the ports blocked.  As for the CTR500 router, it appears to assign an IP to the ATT stick, but it never connects to the internet.  Now I have a Sprint U250 and will try another router monday.
There is a tech named Vic at the 3Gstore who is working with me on this.  He has set up hundreds of remote cameras, alarms etc,  and will send another router that they have had
good luck with.  As for the Sprint U250, it has a static IP, and should work eventually.  What a mess, will be glad to see it work.

Hello John

Was on the phone for 1 hour today with zoom tech support and we tried about 5 or 6 combos of
APNs, Usernames, dial ups, passwords etc, but still could not get it to work with the
308 stick. In fact the 308 never locked on to the signal.

I also have a Cradlepoint CTR500 router and the 308 connects immediately, and I can
ping the IP address thru it, but can not connect to the radio.

Pulling out my hair HI

John K7FD do you have a commercial account with ATT, i.e. I2GOLD account? or just a personal account?

Make reasonable offer. I can't get it to work period. The experienced operators have tried to help me, but
no success. It works directly through the shack router, but not with the mobile router and Sierra 308.
So I have no other use for it.

General discussion forum / I Need a good working IC706 Profile

« on: 2011-08-21, 00:54:59 »

I was using IC706 no problem thru my shack router, but turned on DHCP once to try a 3g modem (which did not work either). Then had to go to Microbit to turn it off so I could talk to the box with browser.
Since then I can't get the 706 to switch on Just the busy signal.
I tried reloading the firmware. No luck.  Must be overlooking a set up feature.
Someone send me a profile or screenshot please! for both local router use and for the USB Modem?
73 and Kind wishes

Hello John
Great set up with the 3G. This is what I want to do.  But in learning curve with very limited experience with IT stuff.
Can you Send me a block diagram of your 3G set up, and;s  Answer below question:
     1.  Am I correct assuming that the SIP technology is all that is needed to connect with the 2 boxes?
      2. Do I need to put passwords in the box set ups?
 
I had the 2 boxes working (running my IC706) with both boxes connected to myshack router, but now I am in SF with the control box and 706 panel but all I get out of the hotel eithernet cable is a european busy signal. HI.
Appreciate any help you can offer.
