General discussion forum / Troubles with connetion over internet

« on: 2019-06-17, 11:37:11 »

Hello
Few years ago I had succesfully established connection between my distant radio IC-7100 and control device at home.
Everything was working fine till last saturday. So I have started investigating what is wrong. At first I have checked configuration on radio and control. Nothing has changed except one difference that I found in status window on radio side. At "other party" I found strange IP that is different to my IP on Control side. On both sides I have public IP. Till now I had configuration with ddns.remoterig.com DDNS host name. I tried connection with DDNS switched off and Sip contact established to IP on control side. After pressing the button on control panel in status window on radio side appeared the right IP. Connection between radio and control was not established and after two or three tries in "other party" on radio side IP was changed to an IP strange to me. This IP is the same every time - 66.115.173.146. No connection between radio and control.
IP addresses on sites in both locations are untouched, that I checked carefully. If anybody had the same problem, please help me. 73

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / HRD & FT857D & Mic CAT signals

« on: 2015-01-10, 20:55:26 »

Hi there

I am using RRC-1258 MkII from You connected to FT857D.

But till now I never used it connected to computer with HRD installed on it. Now I want to use it.

I connected CT-62 cable but unfortunately my FT857 has damaged CAT installed in rear panel. It happened probably during storm.

Fortunately CAT thru Mic socket equipped with additional hardware is working  fine. I made it based on K6XX article  found here http://www.k6xx.com/radio/ft857ser.pdf . I made it without jacks for PTT and Mic.

Please let me know if this is possible  to send CAT signals  from microphone RJ45 socket over  internet and connect them to serial port (the best will be USB :-) ) on control RRC without necessity to use additional hardware.
Cable between Mic socket on FT857 and appropriate socket on RRC radio is equipped with whole wires.
Signals TxD and RxD are present on RJ45 Pins 1 and 2 respectively.

Have you implemented this possibility in hardware and software of RRC control panel?  I not found any information about it.

This possibility will be useful also for those who wants to use rear CAT socket for steering PA or other equipment

I will appreciate any answer.
