General discussion forum / Re: Public WiFi hotspot connection via web page

« on: 2020-11-19, 04:23:08 »

This has been asked many times over the last few years, the basic answer is that the internal
WiFi card will not support networks that require a login (Radius Server), since there is no way
to enter them in a browser.

The best way is to buy a cheap external WiFi bridge that has an ethernet port and use that instead
for cases where a login is required.

You can find examples where searching terms like "hotel" and similar on the forum, or let us know if
you have any further questions.

Hi George,

I just saw your posting today, sorry.

The issues you describe are bugs in the implementation of the Yaesu Twin mode for that rig that
we discussed a couple of months ago. There is nothing in the RRC settings that will solve them.

The only solution is for Microbit to fix them with a new firmware version. Since we have been waiting
several years for this to be fixed, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting, sorry.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Help with configuring IC-7100 with Remoterig

« on: 2020-10-25, 11:32:26 »

Hi Roger,

Then something is wrong in the RRC configuration. It should show some kind of error message if you have things setup correctly.

Drop me a short mail at dj0qn (at) darc (dot) de and I will send you my networking checklist to help you set things up correctly.

Hi Roger,

I need to know what the status page on the RRC's say when you try that.

Roger,

I am personally not familiar with the 7100, but maybe I can help......

Looking at the manual, I see that pressing the power button on the control panel should turn on the rig and
no button on the web page is necessary. Could you please press the power button and let us know what the
RRC's should in the status section for errors?

Kari,

If it only stops working after some QSO's, then it looks like RF is getting into the network.

George,

No problem to turn bias on in the RRC, just look at the jumper settings in the manual.

To make VOX work, the RRC's must have RTP set to continuous.

Karl,

Try changing port 81 to something else and forward that port.

Karl,

I assume that the Webswitch and RRC web page are using different port numbers?

Hi,

No problem, you can have as many people as you want using the station, but obviously not at the same time. The group I am with has about 12 people using it that way. We have a logbook on Google Docs to coordinate who is using it and when.

We do not have a panel at the radio site. If one must use the rig, they need to use the computer or bring a panel with them.

General discussion forum / Re: connection problem, "UL" cw message

« on: 2020-10-13, 13:22:34 »

Hard to say what the problem is, except that it is 99% caused by something that changed in your
network environment. Maybe the provider started blocking things or the firmware was updated on
a router and changed something in the firewall settings. I have seen all sorts of things like that
over the years, but the RRC was never the cause.

If possible, I suggest moving the control RRC to another location and see if the problem occurs there
as well. If it does, then you can focus on the radio location as the problem, otherwise you will know
that the problem is on the control side.

Mike,

He doesn't believe us that it is his network and not the RRC.

Just reboot the routers and RRC's. That should hopefully
solve the problem.

Per,

Just place it in the "SIP Contact" field instead of the dynamic DNS address.
