Hardware, Cabling, Installations / KPA500 ver1.33 and RemoteRig, issue with KPA500 serial port handling

« on: 2014-01-11, 19:21:55 »

Hi all,
 We have a TS480+remoterig and has always worked real well.
 We recently added the Idiom press Rotor-Ez and voila, works well too.
 I basically tunnel the Serial over IP and then bring it to a USB/Serial dongle
 and run LPRotor and control the rotator.

 Now the KPA500 has been a problem.
 I can kill the power to all the station components using a remote power switch.

 When i kill the power and turn it back on, the KPA500 serial port does not respond
 at all via the remoterig. However, if i get someone to push the front panel ON
 button on the KPA500, the serial port then springs to life.

 I thought ver 1.33 of firmware for KPA500 will fix this, but so far not. Anyone
 have a depolyment with a similar use case, have solved the issue? The KPA500
 is under warranty, so i have notified elecraft.

 Please let me know if there is a fix or i might have missed something.

Hi all,
 If you have a board with the processor working via the USB interface and only unable to connect to the internet because
the NIC is dead, i would like to purchase the broken board.

 Please drop me a note.
