Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / Re: ws-1216h access via lan (solved)

« on: 2023-10-31, 21:22:57 »

Hi all,
the issue is solved. I just used the same port as on webswitch.se.
In my age of 85 it's not so easy any more.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Radio-RRC1258: cannot login/remote administer via the web

« on: 2014-01-08, 01:21:00 »

One of Murphy's laws (or was it a corollary to it) stated: If you have loosened n-1 screws of n, you find that you open the wrong unit. 

In a radio-RRC there are three passwords and two usernames
(1) IP-settings: WEB-page user, WEB-page pwd;
(2) Dynamic DNS settings: User name, Password
(3) Radio Settings SIP-Password

Guess what I actually used and what I should have used.  Most users seem to set them all alike, violating their administrators' recommendation, but avoiding my problems.

Many thanks Jan and those discussing off reflector for putting me in the right direction!

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Radio-RRC1258: cannot login/remote administer via the web

« on: 2014-01-05, 20:22:24 »

In Belize we have an RRC1258 for remote control of V31YN's KWD TS-480.  Software version is "2.75 2013-10-31". All works fine so far with the exception of remote login to the radio RRC for remote administration of parameters like Jitter buffer, delay etc. In contrast to remote-switch, after entering the username and password that have been set up before we receive

http://xxxxxxxx.ddns.remoterig.com:xxxx
verlangt einen Benutzernamen und ein Passwort.
Ausgabe der Website: "E1200"

Is there a set-up-parameter allowing or prohibiting remote login? When exporting settings in html-format, after username and password, a line shows before the keyer parameters.
ENABLE: 0
Does this refer to remote login?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Resolved: ICOM-706 Connected/Transfering but Display remains off

« on: 2013-06-16, 12:54:20 »

Problem in my configuration when ICOM 706 does not come up again after POWER has been switched off: My DSL connection needs to be reset.  After switching the DSL modem off at the remote site and on again, the 706 responds immediately after pressing POWER on the control head.

The problem is still not resolved.  The radio eventually shows on the display, but it can take some time.  Meanwhile the statuses suggest that the UDP protocol is not working.  Both RRC's are connected to their modem by an Ethernet cable. The modem at the control unit is a T-Home Speedport W772V by German Telecom.

Control Status
Control panel OFF
Radio OFF
Connect Status Faulty
SIP status Connected/transferring
Last SIP error None
RTP/UDP audio status Stalled (2)
UDP cmd status Error (0)

Radio Status
Radio ON
Connection Status Faulty
SIP status Connected/transferring
Last SIP Error None
RTP/UDP audio status Error (0)
UDP cmd status Error (0)

After pressing the power button on the display unit, the yellow lamp at the AUX/MIC connector goes on and a beep is heard from the speaker, it makes no difference if the speaker is plugged into the display unit or int the RRC-1258MKII. 
With software 2.68 on both units the RRC's retry every 30 seconds and another beep is heard. 

As I wrote earlier, with both RRC's at the same location, but connected to DSL of different internet-providers, there is no such problem.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Jitter Parameter / Re: Audio Transfer Short Interrupts

« on: 2011-10-26, 13:39:14 »

Mike, thank you for directing our attention to a proper setting of the jitter-parameter.  As mentioned earlier, I use an ICOM-706 MK II.

Erik, thanks for mentioning that the same effect can take place in the reverse direction.  I have a question concerning the TX side where my CW dahs and dits seems to have no equal length.

In an activity day with over 100 CW QSO's it happened twice (< 2 %) that during reception of a call sign I heard a clicking noise and I missed one dit.  Remote and local Remetorig are connected with ethernet cable, no WLAN; providers supply 25 MBit/s one side, 30 MBit/s the other.  But there was additional activity by VNC/VPN with the remote computer and I do not complain about the RX side.  Nevertheless my question, if I can improve parameter settings.  The TX was keyed from two sources, (1) a PC contest program at the remote site, controlled via VNC and (2) manually with a paddle connected to the local Remoterig.  Some stations thought I would use a semi-automatic key, my dahs were not with uniform length.   

Is that also a Jitter-problem or what parameters should i check?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Audio Transfer Short Interrupts

« on: 2011-06-18, 16:14:32 »

Hello
using ICOM 706 MK II and RRC-1258 MK II, I notice that the received sound is interrupted with a slight klick very shortly from time to time.  Interrupt is less then 0.1 seconds, but enough to make CW hard to read, e.g. a Dit of the Morse signal is split into two short ones.

Is this a known problem?  Can I change settings to avoid this?  For example Audio Quality (presently set to 2 Lin 16 bit 8 kHz on both units)?

Or is it a problem of my DSL provider (25 MBit/s) ?

Regards
Gerd

It looks like a bad contact but probably not in the cables
rather something in the radio/display.
I think it would be wise to connect them without
RRC's and see if it happens also but since they are separated 700km
you need help from somebody in that area
who also has a 706 and connect his display to check it out
but then only one part is checked.

Guy ON4AOI

Guy,

I agree, bad contacts are the first thing that comes to mind and what has to be checked before we think about any more complicated causes.  The effect that pressing POWER makes the status of both RRC "Connected/Tranfering" but leaves the display dark is specific to my remote location and/or the nework structure of the two providers involved, Kabel Deutschland at the radio and Telekom at the remote site. 

I moved the remote RRC and the control head back to the location of the radio, now the  display comes up immediately.  To make the test more realistic I used again two separate WLAN-networks and two different providers, Kabel Deutschland and German Telekom -- everything perfect.  I am very staisfied with the qualitiy of the remoterig.

There is apparently a two stage process, (1) establishing contact and transfering control information.  When this is completed you hear a beep tone. (2) transfering data for the display and audio to the speaker.

Guy,

thank you very much for your reply; I appreciate your quick action.  I will return to the location of the radio RRC shortly.  There I have another identical ICOM-706 MK II.  I will let you know what difference exchanging of control-head and/or radio makes. 

After the first week of tests my personal impression is that the RRCs work very reliable and stable for tens of hours (after the POWER-ON/OFF-problem I leave them running day and night) - until or unless some non standard event occurs where we can not expect the units to have dedicated error-handling routines.  Shut down of the remote TRX with the POWER-button on the control-head and leaving everything else running should not be one of these events that prevent an orderly resume of operation.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / ICOM-706 Connected/Transfering but Display remains off

« on: 2011-05-13, 23:13:55 »

Hello,

I have a pair of RRC-1258 MK II, Software 2.35 and an ICOM706 MK II, its control-head and TRX separated 700 km.  Everything works very well for hours as it should, if everything has been switched off over night and they get reconnected by DSL the next day.  So the setup must be basically OK and please no advice to check cabling, port forwarding or else.  But, if I switch POWER off on the control-head, when I switch POWER on again, the display stays dark.  On the remote RRC-1258 the green PWR and yellow AUX-MIC are on, Status on both RRC is shown as Connected/Transfering. Nevertheless the display will not come up again, even if I switch off transceiver and both RRC temporaryly; unless under some unknown circumstances moving the tuning knob will bring it to life accidentially.  Should I refrain from using the POWER knob for swithing off?   

Thank you

General discussion forum / Re: No Receive Audio at Remote Site

« on: 2011-05-12, 15:22:43 »

I have had that happen once...the radio control responded ok, but no audio. So I rebooted DSL router/modem, and problem solved.

Hi

I also had this happen from time to time, not during regular operation, but when for example I try different setup options.  If you can't access the routers and modems, remove power from both RRC's and the transceiver, leave them alone for some time and it should come up with audio again.

General discussion forum / Re: 706 cable problem

« on: 2011-05-12, 15:02:22 »

I have converted the Icom-cable to the 8-pol Cat-5 cable and link the two sections together with an adapter to test the wiring.   Everything seems to work fine until I attempt to transmit.  When I do engage the push to talk on the 706 mkIIg the radio shuts down [powers off] Without using the extension cable the radio operates as it should.  Any idea what the problem might be?  Thank you in advance for your help.
Tom, W9AEB

Tom,

can you try another power supply?  I found ICOM-706 transceivers under some circumstances pull too much current for a very short time when you change to transmit.  I have no idea what circumstances, maybe stray RF on the cable or some sort of inrush-current depending on the length of the cable.   
Your power supply might have a very fast acting overload protection, shutting the supply off on too high currents.  I found this with my ICOM-706; using a different power supply helped.
