Configuration, RRC 1258 / COMExtra port number
« on: 2015-10-10, 21:04:50 »
On my computer COMExtra for FSK is port 17 - quite high since I have little attached to this computer.
I want to use FSK with DXLabs WindWarbler program.  I must select the PTT channel to be the same as the COMextra.  In Windwarbler my choices go 1 - 16.  It seems to me Comextra has a very high port number,
Is there a way to lower the COMextra port number?

General discussion forum / Not reaching my my home site
« on: 2015-07-21, 19:02:59 »
My URL changed.
Now neither ddns.webswitch nor ddns.remoterig will reach my site.  If I enter URL numerically it works.
Do I need to update something?

General discussion forum / N1mm on k0 to k3 remoterig hookup
« on: 2015-04-18, 17:37:14 »
I am reading instructions by Mitch on implementing N1mm for k0 to k3 operation.  Control site is where the RRC-1258-MKII is located.
1. Switch the use of COM1 at the MKII site to be mode 6 so CAT is via COM2 (back of the MKII)
2. Change the USB-computer connection to be used as COM1.
3. Connect the USB cable  between MKII and computer and restart the MKII with the new setup.
   

Question: Should this cable now go from the back of the MKII (Com2) to the computer  rather than from the front (COM1)  where it was before?

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / using ddns.webswitch.se
« on: 2015-02-19, 20:19:39 »
In the past "name".ddns.webswitch.se:81/ and "name".ddns.webswitch.se:2000/ URLs have been used to contact my rotor and amplifier pages.

I changed routers, and got a new ip address.  Now these URLs do not work.
It is the same model router as before, and the tables are the same.  Did my "name" portion of the URL change because of this?
Is there something I need to update? 

By the way, using "name".ddns.remoterig.com:81/ and :2000/ work  just fine.

I use an old wrt610n router which now has failing 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi, so I get another wrt610n to replace it.
I set up identical parameters in the new wrt610n.
All seems to work, except I can not contact it with the RRC-1258 MKii.

The URL is http://"my ip address":81/

In  the Single Port Forwarding section of Applications and gaming I have :
External port 81, internal port 81, protocols BOTH (TCP and UDP),  TO  ip address 192.168.1.171,  enabled.  This is the same in both routers.

This works for the old wrt610, but page is not found on the new one.
What have I failed to setup?

Fellows, I only know enough to get myself in trouble, so please bear with me.
I have a setup that works well in connecting to my own K3 home station.  I use the K0 mini and RRC-1258 MKII at the control station.
I have not touched it in a couple of years and have forgotten much of what I once had learned. (Getting old.)
I want to also setup so I can connect to other K3 stations.
First order of business is to not mess up what is working.  How do I save and load configurations for my control station?

General discussion forum / ddns for new 1258
« on: 2014-04-25, 14:54:45 »
I have changed 1258 units.  My old unit had been working with ddns.remoterig. just fine, but with the new serial number it does not.  I have been addressing it with the actual numeric address.  I would like to restore the ddns.remoterig service.
Do I need a new host name or can the serial number be updated?  I am looking for the instructions for proper setup.

This has to be soooo simple, but:
I moved the station, recabled everything.
When I bring up MSM, FW/HW says "unknown disconnected".
COM1 of RRC goes thru com to USB adapter to USB of computer.  Also have the FSK line running from left side to RRC (usb port) to the computer USB.  K3 is connected via RS232 to the rear RS232 of the RRC. Internet cable runs from Ethernet jack on back of RRC-1258 to the router (hard wire).   Both lights are on at the RRC internet connector, green light blinks,  and I get no disconnected tones.

I am able to remotely bring up both the amp and rotor, but the k3 does not connect. 
Everything has been restarted a couple of times.  Please point out to me how stupid I must be ...

General discussion forum / Network Problems
« on: 2014-03-16, 19:31:01 »
I try to display the "T" to control my equipment.  I have one for the rotor, and one for the amplifier.
I may get a display of everything but the face of the rotor.  If I click the "rotor" word in the left column, it will display.

Or, I may get the T displayed empty with a frown face the gives me a hover message "server closed without sending data".

Or I may bet a message at times "A network change was detected".  And no display at all.

The URL for the location is still the same.  Entering all numeric URL may produce these same results.

Usually repeated sending of the URL will finally get a complete display. 

Any ideas?

General discussion forum / Up and down Volume
« on: 2014-03-01, 00:43:53 »
I don't know if this is Remoterig, K3, or internet - But, I get sudden changes in volumes.  It may be 10 db. or so.
Sometime I hit the CW key and it picks up.
Anyone else?  Are there parms that help?

General discussion forum / new computer
« on: 2014-02-24, 20:50:57 »
At the control station I am moving to a new computer.
Are there gotchas to look out for?

It seems after transmitting, I have to touch rf gain to re-establish the correct volume level.
Is there a parm or technique that will help?  K3 to k3.

I have been contacting the home station my using xxx.ddns.webswitch.se:81/ for a couple of years.
This morning using ddns.webswitch.se I get a "page not found".
Attempting to address the amplifier, I also get "page not found."  If I enter the address in the URL numerically as
xx.xxx.xx.xx:81/ I get the expected face of the rotor, and I can manipulate it.  Simularly for the amplifier.
When I "display system info" for these devices, I get "Last dynamic DNS status error code=13".  I do not know what meaning this has.
I also hit the "restart device" but afterwards things were unchanged.

Now the bigger problem:
Normally I click the power switch on the rotor icon, and everything I need becomes powered on. Live update is green. Then I push power on for my transceiver, and in a few seconds, contact is made and all is well.  However today I am getting the three tones Low, Middle, High from the RRC-1258 indicating some connection is not being made.  I think this is "failure to connect" tone.

1. Is there anything I can do from here (Control) to trouble shoot this?
2. If I send someone in my home location, what should they look for?
3. Why is ddns.webswitch.se not working?

My "problem" with turning a Green Heron motor is minor, but I have not found a solution.
When I bring up the website for the rotor, it automatically starts turning to 45 degrees.
All I want to do is stop the turning until I input a value and start the rotor on my own.
I bet the answer is easy ... but I have not found it.
