Will the Remote Rigs work in the IPv6 environment if they provide a public IP address?

Can I trouble shoot the RRCs without having a K3 attached to the Radio RRC? The Control RRC would have a K3 mini attached.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Twin RRCs and VPN
« on: 2017-10-07, 16:16:35 »
This topic has been previously posted in 2016 with not much response.
Hoping that new experiences can be shared with me.
I have twin K3s, RRCs and NO public ip address.
Am exploring a VPN solution.
One recommendation from 2016 has been a Raspberry Pi. I'm not particularly interested in this approach.
I see commercial VPN providers and also commercial and free software for VPN implementation.
Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Palle.
My mistake. I had meant a Public ip address (I had mistakenly said static ip).
Anyways, my provider will not provide a public ip address for any amount of money. Just not their policy.
So, I will be controlling my remote K3 using TRX Manager at the remote site and interfacing it using Team Viewer.
This is the near term solution, as it worked in the past prior to me converting to RRCs.
In the interum I will be looking for alternate internet providers as well as VPN for the existing provider.

Thank you Mike and Mitch.
I had forgotten that there was a USB port of the control RRC !
Accessed appropriate windows and reset Port to 80. Back to normal.

Mitch.
Please disregard previous post re VPN software.
I have surfed the posts here and have found a path forward for implementing VPN. Probably going to go with a VPN router.

Would you have a preferential VPN software provider that can resolve my issue?

Thank you Mitch.
Turns out that is exactly what the provider has done. The external and WAN ip addresses DO NOT match.
Contacted the provider, and they will not offer a static ip address unless I change to a different product and lower speed (which is not desirable).
So. Path forward:
1) search for a new provider
2) install VPN
I will be perusing both.
Thanks again Mitch.

Xplornet is a rural internet provider in Canada.
I have been trying to get my RRCs working through Xplorenet.
Has anyone had experience and success wirh RRCs and Explorenet?
Teamviewer and Skype work thru Xplorenet. Why cannot the RRCs? What magic are Teamviewer and Skype using to allow them to work thru the Xplorenet router?

If I enter the ip address, without :79 response I get is "192.168..... refuses to connect".
If I enter the ip address, with:79 response I get is "This site can't be reached. The webpage at...... may temporarily....."

I stupidly set the port number to 79 on the control RRC and now cannot get into the menu of the RRC.
Any suggestions other than a reset of the RRC.
Thanks

New replacement cables arrived today.
Replaced the CAT and Serial cables on the Remote K3 = Problem resolved.
Traced the problem to 2 different serial cables I used to connect RemoteRig to K3. Both were defective !!
This now makes sense, as Palle, OZ1RH had explained. K3 turned on thru CAT cable and K3 turned off thru serial cable.
The major point I have with this setup, is that when things go bad, where do you start? I guess if one has experienced ALL the things that can go wrong, one can self direct oneself into finding the problem.
Has anyone developed a LOGIC diagram for problem solving this RemoteRig stuff? or is it too complex of a system that it cannot be boiled down to a LOGIC diagram?
But when it works it works great. Just wished it would work for 1000 years between failures.

I have cycled power on router. Problem not resolved.
I have replaced RS-232 cable between K3 and RRC. Problem not resolved.
Changed ALL RS-232 settings to 9600 in K3 and RRC. Problem not resolved.
Ordered new cables from Elecraft for both ends.

I have K3 twins - K3 with K3/0
I relocated my remote K3 and things did not work.
Brought remote K3 home and setup on local LAN.
I turn control K3/0 on. The remote K3 turns on. Control K3/0 locks up and VFO B window displays "TERM" . When I turn control K3/0 off the remote K3 stays on.
Any suggestions to resolution?
