General discussion forum / Re: RRC-1258 works in internal network?

« on: 2017-04-16, 14:00:13 »

That is how I use mine most of the time.  I have the radio in my house and the control head in my shop next door.  It works perfectly over my internal IP network.

I have a second profile so when I go on vacation, I can access the radio (and it's antennas) remotely.

This is very much like the problem I was having with my IC-7100.  Are you using the Wall Wart to power the 1258 on the radio end.  If so try powering it from the same power supply as you radio.  I don't know why (ground loop maybe) but it completely corrected my problem.

General discussion forum / Re: 1258 powers down when volume level is increased on IC-7100

I tracked the problem down to data corruption in the cable between the radio and the 'RADIO' rig remote box.  The actual source of the problem seems to be that I was powering the radio with one power supply and the 1258 with the supplied power supply.  when I changed the data cable I also powered the 1258 from the same power supply as the IC-7100.  I went back and verified this several times using various cables and power supplies. 
I found that I could use any cable as long as I powered both the radio and the 1258 from the same supply.

hope this helps someone.

Tracked the problem down to data corruption in the radio to rig remote cable.  I was using the original Icom cable.  I replaced it with a one foot (12") long Cat.6 cable with a couple ferrite beads and all is well.

Back home.  I tried the config with 2.91 code but still have trouble.  Tried changing the ethernet connection from 'AUTO' to 'AUTO 10 Pref' (as well as 100 FDX, 100hdx, ETC) to no avail.  Switched power supplies at both ends and tried Wired at the RADIO end with wireless at the CONTROL end.

I went into the STATUS field and the control unit is throwing a SYS MSG of a missed call.
Still need help.

The replacement supply I used is a 75 AMP switcher.  I upgraded to2.91 from 2.90 but then i HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A HIP RE-REPLACEMENT.  i WILL VENTURE DOWN TO THE SHACK AS SOON AS THE HIP ALLOWS AND SEE IF THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE.

General discussion forum / 1258 powers down when volume level is increased on IC-7100

« on: 2016-12-20, 19:19:18 »

I have a pair of 1258 configured to work with the IC-7100.  They are local to my internal LAN and seem to be working as they should with one exception.  When I advance the volume on the control head the unit (Remote Rig Control end) powers down.  If I keep the volume down to a bare minimum all seems to work.  I am using the level converter/strapping header on the control end unit.  I verified all the strapping.  When the IC-7100 is connected via hardwire, I can turn up the volume to maximum without problem.
I have replaced the power supplies to no avail.  Additionally I replaced the short CAT.6 cable I use between the RR Control unit and the control head.  Can anyone help?

General discussion forum / WEP Security NOT working

« on: 2016-02-27, 17:55:54 »

WEP security is not working on my Remote Rig 1258 units.  I worked with Steve at HRO and we discovered the following:
The unit is working fine using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.  It is the latest hardware revision and running Ver: 2.87 microcode.  It is failing using WEP (either 64 or 128 bit).

The AP models tested were as follows:

Westel, Model: A90-327W-15-06
Rev: E, Serial Number:  04Z410240698

Hiro, Model: H50212
Serial Number:  1315000198

Hiro, Model Number: H50188
Serial Number:  1217004209

TP-LINK Model:  WA5210G
S/N:  Unkn

In all cases the unit failed when using WEP security.  Both 64 bit and 128 bet were tried with a passkey of 12345 for the WEP-64 and 1a2b3c4d5e6f7 for the WEP-128.

Is there a fix for such?
