Configuration, RRC 1258 / I plan to buy my set in a couple of weeks and have a question

« on: 2015-01-01, 03:10:21 »

From what I read so far in the manual - the default IP config for these units is 192.168.0.227 - - 228.

My home network (which will be the remote connect location) has a 192.168.2.x configuration.

My son's house (where I plan to have the antenna & radio body) has a network configured as 192.168.1.x.

Do I set up both units to work on my son's network IP range or mine? I will be using my TS-480sat for the remote.

Thanks in advance & 73 de w8BNL - Tom

All very good points - thanks for the input. This is probably going to be a lengthy project since I don't have the funding to just go all out and buy everything at one time. Thanks again.

Barefoot for now. I would like to (at some time perhaps) add a small (500 watt max.) amplifier.

The idea behind wanting to "disconnect" is (as you probably know) to protect the radio in the event of a thunderstorm.

This would be a great addition to my remote setup however - I have a question or two.
1. Is this available for fewer antennas (two to four max.)?
2. Is this available in a "desktop" or "indoor" type of switch?
I currently operate my TS480 remotely using the Kenwood KNS software but plan to use the RemoteRig style in the future. With only two antennas at the remote location - it would be great to have the capability to turn off (or disconnect) the antennas from the radio via the Internet.  Finally - here is a link to an article I posted on eHam which shows an aerial shot of my remote setup.

Many thanks and 73 to all de W8BNL - Tom
