Title: Help configuring Remote Rig with TS-480SAT
Post by: kb6vtu on 2012-04-23, 14:13:49

Hi All,
I just bought a Remote Rig and TS-480SAT. I am very excited to get this up and running. Configuring the router part shouldn't be any problem.

I am a bit overwhelmed at the instructions and what I can skip when setting the Remote Rig units. All I want to do is remote the radio head. I'm not using the IO or serial ports. The instructions seem comprehensive, but I'm confused as to whether I should try to get the networking part working first, or if all the jumpers should be put in first. I'm also not sure if I need to put all the jumpers in for the serial cable and IO ports if I'm not going to use them.

Where do I start and what sections can I skip?

Any help is appreciated?

Hi Josh,

Don't worry, it isn't all that difficult   ;)

Do the hardware stuff first (jumpers, etc.). If you drop me a mail at dj0qn (at) darc.de
then I will send you a checklist to make the networking stuff a bit easier.

Hi Mitch,

I think I've set everything up correctly, but when I turn the power button on the radio nothing happens. It is all on the same network. I can connect to both web interfaces.

I upgraded both firmwares
I setup the jumpers as per the instruction for the TS480

everything is on the same internal network so I don't think there could be a networking problem

Where do I start debugging?

Thanks,
josh
