Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: IC 7100 : JMP2 into RRC 1258 CTL : 0 ..really ?

...I've just finished the whole setup...JMP2 to 0 (non strapped)
..."Ta-da !"...it works flawless !
...I let it like that for now...

End of the story !

Cheers to you both Mike and Mitch.

Good Morning Mike,

Ok, perhaps I'am a little paranoïd suddenly !
I'll get a try without jump2.
I'm comforted by the fact there is a regulation into the control panel.
If 8v is not sufficient I'll do see it.

Enjoy the rest of your holidays !

Thank you very much for the infos, Mitch !

But :

Page 102 in "Connections", it is stated that "the signal" throught pin 1 from the standard CAT 6 cable is "8V power to control panel(only when radio is ON)".

In the "Open the box " tile from Microbeat website, comments along JMP2 picture recall the explanation about the effect :

"
JMP2 is placed near the back of the box next to the RESET button. JMP 2 is used to select if the DC-power to the front panels should be 8 or 9 V. With the strap in place it will be 8V which fits all ICOM:s. Kenwood TS-480 and RC-2000 panels need 9V for the backlighter to be strong enough. With JMP 2 not mount the voltage will be 9V.  (JMP 2 is only available in the Control-RRC)."

...so my question ...!

That said, it seems from this forum that 7100 owners have played with Remoterig units,yet.

I guess they had strictly followed the new intructions and connected the JUMP2 without smock !

... so you are probably right !

I'm going to try to wait for Mike comments ...if I am patient enough

...I intend to use very short cable bitween RRC control and 7100 panel ( about 20 cm)...so the Ohm Law will not shut down very much the signal...

Very nice from you Mitch for coming in .

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: IC 7100 : JP2 RRC 1258 CTL : 0 (9v) indeed ?

« on: 2013-07-20, 19:46:46 »

..I'm replying (partially) to myself...

...IC 7100 control panel does need 8v and not 9v like all ICOM.

But once again why JMP2 to 0 ? It was my configuration with new TS 480 to provide 9v !

...Or should we understand that  the strapping configuration is set up as to provide 8v ?

...I'm still lost....

See you soon

Best regards

Configuration, RRC 1258 / IC 7100 : JMP2 into RRC 1258 CTL : 0 ..really ?

« on: 2013-07-20, 17:11:27 »

Hello all !

I've just got an IC 7100 to replace my TS480.

Rev.A29 instructions for RCC_ Control Hardware configuration tell to set up JMP2 to 0 ( not connected).

Until now, previous manuals instructions tell to connect JP2 (1) to set 8v for all ICOM (against TS 480 which need 9v to power the control panel).

Are you really sure we have to set JMP2 to  0 for the 7100  ?

I don't want to fry my new toy , Hi !

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Congratulations Microbeat to be so quick to release these units !

best regards

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Re: Which IP adress through wifi client / bridge/ wifi adpators devices ?

« on: 2011-09-22, 18:29:17 »

Hi Mitch !

You was absolutely right !

At first, I've connected the two WINCE2001 units "out of the box", without upgrading the firmware because the comment about Livebox problems is write down about the release !

Then, I've just WIFI paired these two devices with the live box router - left in DHCP mode -, fixed Two  IP adresses in the DHCP range of the router, and put them into each RRC.

all is going well  !

Thank a lot for your help !

Hi Mitch !

Very nice from you !

I thought to simplify my set up and to keep only my Livebox as a main router and 2 WNCE2001 as adaptators within.

But it starts badly :

Then i've just read this on net gear website :

"Known Issues & Bugs:

Can't connect to internet if WNCE2001 connects to Orange Livebox mini (DSL router) directly.
Workaround: Use another router to connect to Livebox mini and let WNCE2001 to connect to this new router, then you can use WNCE2001 to go to internet without any problem.

"

It appears this device don't support WPA2-PSK security mode the livebox uses !

I guess I've no other choice : I'll do have to introduce at least one linksys router I also have got  "in the middle of the road"!

I'll be back when i do further investigations the week-end ( I hope to).

Seen you soon

Eric

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Which IP adress through wifi client / bridge/ wifi adpators devices ?

« on: 2011-09-12, 20:21:48 »

Hello all !

I'm new at wifi network.

I've been purchasing two units to control a TS 480 via wifi only  (radio and control units) but without attached laptops.

My plan is classic i presume :

+main router in the living room :
Orange Live Box  router 192.168.1.1 : DHCP on up to 192.168.1. 50, but fixed private IP assigments to WIFI devices is possible.

+TS480 radio + Radio unit behind a Wifi bridge /client/wifi ethernet adaptator

+TS 480 panel + Control unit behind an other Wifi bridge/Client/wifi ethernet adaptator .

I've got two new linkys units for that.( linksys E1000 with dd-wrt firmware in client or bridge mode)

The trouble :

Which fixed IP and which gateway adress to give to RRC units  in this network  ?

I've discovered that these WIFI units create their own sub network with new Ip class adresses, differents from these the main router use ! !

What is the path from main router to rrc unit ?

The problem is the same with netgear WNCE2001  I suppose : This unit will have its own ip adress but even  You assign it 

in the class of the main router which IP adress to assign to the rrc units ?

Hum...I'm lost  you see.

Thank you in advance for your help.

best regards

Eric
