Moin Mike, what I was trying to say: So far I had used an adapter that has a Sub-D socket at one end of the cable (connected to the CAT interface of the TS480), and a USB plug at the other end that went into the PC.

If I now use the RRC-1258MkII and want to continue using this CAT-USB adapter, I need a remote cable with 2x 9-pin female (that's how the manual describes it and that's what it looks like) from the TS480 to the remote RRC. But here on the Control RRC-1258 a gender changer is needed because COM2 is female, my USB cable is 9pin female.

Right?

Moin Mike, thanks for your answer.

I found the chapter, thanks for the pointer :-)
 
An other question (I can't experiment because the TS480 is 400 km away :-) If I go there soon everything should be fine.

The instructions say I need a cable with 2x female plugs on the Radio side. That fits, there is a male plug on the TS480, as well as on the RRC-1258 Mk II

That's why I used to use a USB to 9 pin Sub-D adapter with a female plug. On the control RRC-1258, COM2 is also a socket (female). That means I need a different USB adapter or a gender changer, right?

Moin,

I'm able to use my remote TS480 (SSB, Digimode via VOX). What I miss: The CAT Interface. Is there any way to use the RRC-1258 MkII for this 2nd task?

Moin Mike,

thank you for the information.
In advance: the cable was actually broken. I thought, I had ruled that out, since I had connected the two cables with the help of an Ethernet extension adapter - which then worked. But: after I exchanged the cable on the TRX side with another one, it works. I do not have to understand everything ;-)

General discussion forum / TS480 starts now no longer

Moin,

I am still setting up my remote station, the devices are still next to each other on the table in the same network. I was done with the jumpers and the wire bridges, CW and microphone were already working last week.

Today I wanted to continue, but the TRX can no longer be switched on.

Troubleshooting:

The two RRC1258MkII are connected (using autoconnect)
Shack-Side:
Status
Name   Value
P5.4   ON
Radio   OFF
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(20)

Radio-Side:
Name   Value
P5.2   OFF
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(45)

That brings me to the first question: What does this P5.2 stand for? It's off.

If I try to turn on the TS480, nothing happens. If I pull off the 6-pin cable to the control panel and connect it to the 6-pin cable on the TS480 itself using an adapter, the TS480 can be switched on and off. Then even the microphone works - that is, via the SIP connection.

When I connect the 6-pin cable from the RRC 1258 MkII radio to the TS480, I hear a faint click in the TS480 control panel.

But that's all. Am I doing something wrong? Have I forgotten something important to do since last week?

Thanks for hints.
