Configuration, RRC 1258 / Remote set-up

« on: 2016-11-03, 12:46:27 »

I've had everything working on my LAN and am trying to set it up now on the internet (there are potential router problems, but that is separate issue),

I've been following the instructions outlined in the manual.  In step 16 on page 12, I move the remote RRC to the local network at the remote site and connect a PC (different one than I used on the LAN setup).  I download the setup manager, but it can't find the RRC unit.  I have changed cables, etc to make sure that isn't the problem.  Any idea what is going on here?

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Huawei B315S-22 not usable?

« on: 2016-11-02, 21:06:00 »

I have a Huawei B315s-22 modem/router.  It is a wireless modem and works extremely well.  I have to use this to connect to the internet as I have no hard wired internet access at my remote shack location.

I've set up my K3 etc with the RRC's on my LAN at the control site and all works well.  However, when I try to configure the router for the remote location, there doesn't appear to be any settings that allow for port forwarding, or any of the other setting I would need to change.  Has anyone had experience with this router, and if so, how did you go about making the changes? 

I talked to the local provider (Digicel) tech rep and he said he wasn't aware of any way to do port forwarding.  However, his focus is clearly on voice communications, so I 'm not sure of his knowledge level.  On an island you sometimes don't get the best!

If the router can't be changed, is there any work-around or am I just SOL?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3 mini RRC CW Keying

« on: 2016-09-11, 03:01:29 »

The keying is crazy.  The dots seem OK, but the dashes are basically the same length as the dots.  Makes it pretty hard to work anyone!!

I can't seem to find anything in the Keyer settings which would impact this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Configuration, RRC 1258 / profile vs exporting BIN file

« on: 2016-09-10, 21:20:47 »

Is there any major reason to save different settings in Profile as opposed to exporting a BIN file?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3 Mini won't turn on K3. but all works well after K3 turned on manually

« on: 2016-09-03, 21:14:31 »

I've had the K3 Mini working over my LAN to my K3 without a problem.  All of a sudden, when I turn the Mini on, the K3 doesn't come on.  If I turn the K3 on manually, then the system works fine..... I can control everything from the mini.... including shutting it and the K3 down.  However, when I go to turn it on again, the same thing happens .. the mini fires up but I have to turn the K3 on manually.  And once I do, the system works perfectly.

I've checked and double checked all the settings and cabling, and they seem correct to me.  Anyone have an idea what is happening?
