Configuration, RRC 1258 / Unable to resolve remote rig.com

« on: 2012-07-10, 22:42:08 »

Another motel and the same problem--access tot he station did work for several days but I have had problems the last two nights.

Please see the attached file for the configuration information:

If I detach the Ethernet cable attached to the control RRC I can navigate the web and also ping my remote station location using its IP address.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Configuration, RRC 1258 / CW using the USB port

« on: 2011-12-17, 17:23:59 »

I need some help please.
I have the RRC-1258 MKII units installed and running with a Kenwood TS-480.
The units have the latest software and firmware installed and work nicely using paddle CW however I need to implement software controlled CW and I am not having any success.
I’d prefer to use the USB/DTR connection to accomplish that.
Configuration thus far is as follows:
Control RRC:
Serial Settings:
Com1: Inactive
COM2 mode: Mode-4, Kenwood, Yaesu. Elecaft   
COM2 baudrate: 9600   
COM2 data bits: 8   
COM2 stop bits: 1   
COM2 parity: 0 - Off   
COM2 terminator (hex): 00   
Use USB Com Port as COM2: No

I/O settings:
IN0 mode: Keyer
Out0 mode: I/O
Out1 mode: I/O
Out2 Mode: I/O
USB RTS as PTT Disabled
USB DTR as CW Disabled

Radio RRC:
Serial Settings: Same as above

I/O settings:
OUT0 mode: Keyer
OUT0 on/off: OFF
OUT1 Mode: I/O
OUT1 on/off: OFF
OUT2 mode: I/O
OUT2 on/off: OFF

The manual makes the following statement:
Use USB Com Port as COM0    COM0 can be connected to the USB interface instead of the normal serial interface. When installing Microbit Setup manager a virtual Com port called “Microbit RRC Virtual Comport (COMX)” is installed. That’s the one you should connect to when using HRD or other softwares.
Yes or No (default = No).

How do I find the number of this virtual Com Port since I am guessing that that is an import part of the configuration?

In all honesty I really like the hardware but I do have difficulty with the manual. I really wish someone would put together a “cookbook” with configuration and cabling information for basic configurations new users might want to implement.

I would appreciate any help offered to solve my problem and Happy Holidays to all of you in the forum.

Thanks,
