General discussion forum / UDP cmd status error on control RRC

« on: 2015-10-04, 14:01:21 »

Hi,

I'm not able to use my remote setup anymore. I hear some popping sound on the radio side, but the screen doesn't work.
Status on the control RRC is:
Control panel   ON
Radio   ON
Connection status   Faulty(See below)
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   Error(0)
SIP command timeout   0
Rx Jitter buffer size   4
Rx Jitter delay   3
Dual Rx   0
Current audio packet size   20
...
DNS status OK

on the Radio RRC status looks ok:
Radio   ON
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(45)
SIP command timeout   0
Rx Jitter buffer size   7
Rx Jitter delay   6
Dual Rx   0
Current audio packet size   20

Since I only see some error message on the control part, I guess this side is somewhat suspicious.
I'm using a TS480.

what does "UDP cmd status   Error(0)" on the control side actually mean?
It seems connection is ok, except for the UDP cmd?!? part.

Please help

Thanks!
Johan.

Hi,

Anyone experiencing a DDNS problem? I can connect to remote webswitch and radio by using <ipadres>:port, but not via <ddnsadress>:port
I worked for months, but today not.

The result of the ddns query via http://ddns.remoterig.com/status/resulthost.php gives me the remote address which I can use to connect to all devices, strange isn't it?

Any idea?

I had the same thing. It sounded as if you were listening to a station with strong flutter/aurora-like audio.
Never found what the problem was, but it got solved when I performed a full reset of the radio.
Did you try that?

went to the remote site, unplugged all cables, and connected everything again. Also performed a hard reset of the radio.
PROBLEM SOLVED! Amazing.

Hey Mitch,

Yes RTP is set to continuous on both ends..
I increased the jitter buffer size to 7 and jitter delay to 6, even tried the max. values without any improvement.

Hi all,

Everything seems to be working ok, except the digimodes.. Using a Signalink USB at control side I can send and receive, but the rx audio is very distorted.
If I look at the waterfall screen of DM780 for instance, I see that all signals are much broader then they are supposed to. RTTY should be 2 vertrical lines but instead I see very thick noisy lines, also PSK looks much thicker and not clean.
Also when listening to the signal myself, I hear it's not sounding like a clear RTTY or PSK signal.
Voice also sounds a bit more aurora-like. Not disturbing, but this clearly has an effect on digimodes.
Tried with different jitter settings, but no difference at all. Also tried another codec, without luck.

Anyone has an idea what this might be?

Went to the remote site today:
- installed a seperate power supply for the RRC
- Transciever is grounded
- installed ferrit clips around serial and MIC connector as close as possible to the transciever.

Still the same problem: I'm still hearing sounds of data transmission from the moment I connect CAT interface (I use USB on control side and COM2 at remote side)
I also tried with a serial to USB cable at the control side (insteadl of USB to USB) to check if it's not the USB part that causes the problem. Still the same issue. On the serial connector I see led's flashing each time it communicates to the other side. The flashing leds correspond exactly to the digital noise/rythm I'm hearing on TX, so it's definitely serial signal that is heard.
Any other ideas please?

Hey Mike,

I guess you are referring to the radio site? Not clear since you are referring to a PC, which I only have at the control side...
Well I guess on the radio side I might have made 1 mistake: I'm using the same power supply for radio and RRC. It initially (without using the CAT) worked so I figured I didn't need a seperate power supply. So this might be the issue, no? (what are the symptoms of using 1 power supply by the way?)
I have a laptop power supply which is also 12V, so this might work. By doing so, it will be fully isolated as well.
Is this what you mean?

Hi all,

When I connect to the CAT COM port on the remote side through HRD, I'm getting this digital noise in my TX audio as background. Hard to explain, but I'm sure the origin is digital..
So not really RFI, but actually the other way around. When I disconnect my local USB cable (and hence disconnect the CAT session) the distortion is gone.
When I don't setup a remote CAT session via the virtual COM port, I don't have this problem.
Seems the problem is located on the remote side, but I wonder how to solve this? Any idea what causes this?
(strapping is made according the the manual, the right TS480 model has been taken into account.. )

Hi Mitch,

Thanks very much for the reply. I finally got it working when I enabled port forwarding on the control side. very strange! Maybe because my ISP already provides a modem with build in router, and hence I actually have 2 routers one after the other at the control side.

Thanks for your help!

General discussion forum / can't turn on remote rig (ts480)

« on: 2013-12-14, 17:46:00 »

Hi,

Everything is working fine if I connect everything (remote and control RRC) to a router on the remote side.
Problem starts when trying to connect remotely via internet.
on the control side, I can access the webswitch and the radio RRC via http (port forwarding). I did put remote and local rrc both in DMZ on the router. If I turn on the radio RRC I hear a beep on the control panel, so they do see each other, but I can't turn on the radio.

On the control side status I see:
Name   Value
Control panel   ON
Radio   ON
Connection status   Faulty(See below)
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP/UDP audio status   Stalled(18)
UDP cmd status   Error(0)


On the radio rrc I see following status:
Name   Value
Radio   ON
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(44)

So it seems to be something on the control side? Any idea please?
