General discussion forum / Remote Rig 1258MkII Control and Radio RRC Jumper Strappings

« on: 2010-12-10, 14:12:38 »

Hi All:

Last night, I got my XYL to put the jumpers in place in both the Control and Radio RRC units. I'm a blind ham and required sighted assistance. 
1ST of all, is it normal to open both units and have no jumpers installed? This was the case with mine.
So, my XYL had to strap according to my radio, (Yaesu 2k type) the mic jacks.  As a result, she couldn't strap the RTS/CTS Comm 2 port together.
The reason is one of the required slots is taken up by the mic jumpers in each unit.
Will this cause RS-232 operation to not be possible? Did the mic jacks absolutely have to be strapped?
As I said above, there were no jumpers installed what so ever and with out them, I don't see the RJ-45 mic jacks functioning unless there's other
wiring you don't see. 

Thanks:

Michael

General discussion forum / Remote Rig 1258MkII Web Server Browsing Issues Solved

Good Day All:

Thanks to all who responded to my issue help wanted.
I had to configure the units to fit in my LAN and they initially weren't.
I used the Microbit Setup Manager, and checked DHCP and each unit grabbed a new IP.
I Can't wait to drop them into my HF station next week for real.
Now if there was away to power on and off the rig through the web server when a connection is made or dis_connection, that would be ossim! LOL
A suggestion Mikael? LOL HRD doesn't seem to support remote power on and off of allot of rigs accept, from what I know, Kenwood.

Good evening All:

Well my remote rig arrived today and I set about configuring for testing purposes, before I add them to my HF station.
I followed the instructions about connecting but I could only connect up one unit at a time because my other cables are out in the shack.
I managed to update the firmware in each unit by connecting the Control RRC to my PC, then I swapped out the control RRC for the Radio RRC and
performed the update.  Only had one LAN cable, so had to swap that as well.
The problem I'm having is that I can't browse each units web server when connected to my PC and LAN.
I receive a "server has timed out" message. I looked at my router settings and each device isn't showing up.
I'm starting to suspect that they maybe damaged, although each unit powers up and the ethernet ports light up as well.
Please advise on what root to take. Just as a note: do both units have to be connected to the LAN, at the same time?
I don't think so as I was able to connect one unit at a time and update the firmware with no problems.
The Microbit manager doesn't have any problems, just browsing the units web servers.

Thanks:

Would it be possible if someone could correspond with me via an email for tips and tricks?
I'm already corresponding with one Gentleman but maybe someone with some LAN experience could help as well.
Someone who is using the Remote Rig System with a transceiver that doesn't have the detached front.

General discussion forum / RRC-1258MkII, Ham Radio Deluxe and Yaesu FT-450

Hi All:

I'm new to this form and I require some step by step instructions on how to setup my RRC-1258MkII with Ham Radio Deluxe and my Yaesu FT-450.
Am I to understand that I don't require HRD to run on a PC, connected to the FT-450,  in the Shack, which is 45 miles away from my apartment, on HRD running on my PC here in my apartment?
How is this possible? In my previous setup, I required HRD at both ends. The client Running on my PC here in my apartment and HRD server running on a PC connected to the rig in my shack.  All tips and tricks welcome and if someone has step by steps, please email me off form at vo1ryn@gmail.com. 
We can also take care of this over skype once my RRC-1258MkII arrives and I begin setting it up.

Many thanks and 73:
