I've been trying to configure the I/O ports to key a relay on the Radio end. I'm doing this on the bench without a radio. The two RRC units are connected via ethernet on a 'switch' with appropriate IPs so that I can access both boxes for configuration. That said, whenever I ground the appropriate pin on the 'control' end nothing happens on the 'radio' end. I've checked voltages on the pinouts and everything is per the manual. I suspect that the 'control' box needs to establish a relationship with the 'radio' box in some manner. I can't use the radio head 'on/off' switch since the radio is deployed elsewhere. How can I cause the 'control' box to 'call' the 'radio' box without having my TS-480 attached? The TS-480 is in use elsewhere and is using another set of RRCs. This project is the prototype to be used with the already functioning TS-480.
I really enjoy the remote operation that this system provides. The remote operation solved a huge problem for our agency.
Any enlightenment would be truly appreciated.
