Hi you did not answer if you have tested with both RRCs on the same LAN ?

yes, was tested on the same lan

I have no problem to resolve your DDNS hostname with 8.8.8.8 DNS so your Control side router must do something wrong

If you now the IP of the Radio-RRC router you can temporarily use it as SIP-contact IP then no DNS is needed.

I can see that the DDNS is updated a few days ago so that parts works but I can not browse the RRC at port 8000 so the portforwarding is not working properly or the ip has changed. Have you set port 8000 as TCP ?, and 13000,13001,13002 to UDP ?

yes, i am (pretty) sure they are correctly set...
you are free to have a look (if you wish i can give you team viewer number in pct)
(forgive my being sooooo newbie, mike)

Here i am again;
after few months, two deployments in Afghanistan and several other works around, i can breathe a little bit again and dedicate myself to our lovely hobby.
I still have tons of frustrations since the RR doesn't work anymore and i am too much newbie, unable to find a solution.

Well, i took an other screenshot, the port forwarding set of my remote router and my house one; i also took a pic of the radio control page and radio page while attempting the connection and when both are idle.
I attach also a screenshot of my home location (remote router) internet speed.
So, if ANYONE is able to give some hints, suggestions, donations, or whatever in order to let me get back my sleep during the night (instead of thinking and crying about the malfunction...) i will be really happy...

Open to any suggestions...
yours, desperately

Mike jumped in and suggested that we try to connect from here as we do not see something wrong as such with the configs.

Thanks for you patience, Jan
here attached are 3 shots of the radio side i got just checking in site what was happening
I left the system home ON, like "on beep tone" heard and radio-frontal mute/dead with the yellow LAN light steady (control side)
I took occasion of a visit to the remote site and found same situation: LAN (AUX/MIC) yellow light steady and took 3 export shots
in sequence you can see what happened after a while i was there; The first one with LAN (AUX/MIC) light steady, the second while the the 2 LAN light were steady on and the bird one with lights off.
Is any other test needed?
I also check the power source wires... just in case, but the were not faulty.

...

Have you checked the status pages on both the control and radio RRC? (Just after attempting to connect)

That's what i get...
seems like radio doesn't switch on (i think) but: i check the 706 in the remote location with the front panel and it works.

Thanks once more, Jan.

Is it your intention to have DHCP enabled on the Radio-RRC? Its IP address is 192.168.0.5 and not 192.168.0.228 if that is what you have used when forwarding the ports.

Jan,
that's what i did in the previous configuration on the router and repeated on this new one: assigned the RadioRRC the address x.x.0.5 on the local net.
It should work, since it did before.
But...


(thanks for the appreciated answer)

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / System doesn't come alive anymore

« on: 2014-02-23, 17:44:33 »

Sirs,
i post this message since i have something wrong in the system that cannot solve by myself.
I start saying that i recently changed the router in the remote location where i have a 706 and all the rig, lying there alone in a cold room in my country house.
the router's been checked online by a friend who said the system should be ok, since the door are properly forwarded and all the router setups are correctly made. (thanks M.  )
now, what i cannot understand is WHY the system didn't come alive again, and i post a video showing what i get when i push the button POWER on my 706's front panel in here at home.
I also include an export .html(.pdf) of both the terminals.

Can anyone give his own opinion? (or hints, or even offense... due to my ignorance in subject?  ) Something is wrong but can't figure out what.

I will appreciate ANY help,
Denis, IK5ZVE

I confirm... jumpers are in both boxes ok.
The connecting cable between ic-706 front and body is working properly if connected to the radio directly...
What else can be?
I say again, i can control the radio in remote, can send the tuner on and everything but... some ALC to get on the air, just a carrier 

Suggestions?

Thanks to Mitch and Mike suggestions (mainly Mitch's overlook to my configuration... a real guardian angel, Mitch!), my 706 is alive and kicking!
So, main problem was SOLVED (thanx)

I realized then that...something is not working properly.
I can receive, i can send the PTT input (TX commuted ON), but NO VOICE passing (no ALC moving and... i'm lucky enough to be able to listen to my remote transmission from home: can't hear my voice) and so no modulation from the 706 body at the radio site, only a carrier.

I opened the RR control box, checked the jumpers and it seems all right. Checked them with a tester and no one was bad. I have to check the jumpers in the radio RR box, but i can for sure exclude that the separation cable, properly cut and connected to the RJ connectors is not ok, since i tested it before plugging the 2 RR boxes on local LAN.

Any suggestions?

Again, i will appreciate any help.

Denis

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / [SOLVED] No TX-modulation!

« on: 2013-02-21, 22:37:05 »

Hello to all the Users and memebrs of this forum.
I'm really sorry to start my first topic on this forum immediately asking for help...

I recently got the RRC 1258, coupled them to an IC706MkIIG, cabled them and ... immediately tested them on the home LAN and everything was OK and running so good!
of course, very glad and excited, i moved to my small flat wit "no-antenna possibility" and... after rigging up everything, checking connection etc. i realized the IC-706 didn't power up 
all i can immediately notice is that aux/mic plug is blinking (orange led) and if i keep the power-on button of the 706 i can hear the "triple tone" twice.

here attached i paste the radio side status lines

FYI my ADSL router here in the remote site, and in the radio room, are both D-link 2750B

I will appreciate any help, considering i'm a newbie...

Thanks to you all in advance.
