General discussion forum / AS-1289 Cannot update firmware

« on: 2024-09-23, 21:18:33 »

My remote system includes the K3 Twin with RRC-1258 MkII and a Microbit AS-1289 antenna switch. All has worked well for a couple years.

When I recently visited my remote QTH I browsed the Microbit website and saw what I believed was an update for the firmware. I was confused by the firmware offered for a AS-1289 vs a AS-1216. I must have installed the wrong firmware because the switch now comes up as a rotator configuration and I cannot restore it.

The AS-1289 manual is ambiguous and mentions the AS-1216 so I installed the latest firmware 1216H_WebSwitch_Ham-CRC-NEW-2024-06-04-v4.94.bin. The setup manager connects OK.

However, the 1289 does not work as an antenna switch after this installation. So I looked further and found firmware specifically for the 1289 on the web site. I downloaded AS-1269_1289_v4.59_2019-12-10_v4.59.  The setup manager shows: version 003; Firmware: 4.59; Bootloader: 1.13; HW: 003. Also correctly shown is "Device connected!" and 3648==3648.

So the update appears to be successful. However the "System Info" on the web page shows RC-1216H as the device and v4.59. I have tried several times to install the firmware for the AS-1289 but no success.

So I screwed up with the update! Is there a way to reset the AS-1289 to clear the firmware and then install the correct firmware? Or maybe another way?

Thanks

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Set up remote KPA1500 communication using remoterig ddns service

« on: 2020-09-09, 17:59:21 »

Is it possible to use the xxxxx.ddns.remoterig.com service with user name and password to communicate with a remote Elecraft KPA1500 amplifier?  How may that be done?

KPA1500 Remote application doesn't seem to be configurable to accomplish this.

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / AS-1289 Webswitch Remote Access via DDNS

« on: 2020-07-06, 19:40:52 »

My AS-1289 is working on LAN at the remote site.  I am unable to reach it remotely from my control site using "Own host name" http://xxxxx.ddns.webswitch.se as specified in the manual and receive the error "This site can't be reached".  (xxxxx is the name assigned by the webswitch).

Port forwarding is setup at the remote router.  When I go to ddns.remoterig.com/status/ the response is:

RRC DynDNS Result

User:  ws1216H-3648
Host Name:  xxxxx.ddns.webswitch.se
IP Address:  50.50.244.222
Last update:  2020-06-30  o2:46:12
Update count:  7

Further, RRC-1258 MKII is working nicely with K3 Twins.

Help is appreciated!

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / AS-1298 No Ethernet Link

« on: 2020-01-24, 21:33:54 »

I just received an AS-1289 antenna switch.  Communication with the device via USB and Microbit Setup works fine.  I assigned an IP address, netmask, def gateway, etc.
However, I cannot communicate with it via an ethernet connection to my router.  Have tried several different cables.  Further, there is no flashing ethernet Link LED as I would expect. 

No problems with similar RRC1258MkII ethernet setup and connection.

Any suggestions?  TNX
