Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Re: How to user the RRC setup from Hotel Room (Need to authenticate on website)

« on: 2011-09-21, 19:33:30 »

Thansk Mitch. The thread was very interesting. I will continue to follow. I am curious to try the bridge option. Now I am wondering if I can use my WRT54G on travel to connect the CAT5 from the hotel room, authenticate and then use one of the 4 ports on the router to connect to the RRC control box. Will do more reading.
I was able to connect the 2 RRCs to different ports on the same router at home and operate (basically I was in the same room). Now, I need to figure out the Dyndns setup and keep trying...

Thanks for your help!

What location is your new QTH Mitch? I guess you are trying to do everything remote...nice.
Will be at work in the mornings but will surely try to get in touch with you someday.
Mitch, the router you suggested is a WI-FI router. If we need to authenticate ourselves (Eg. Room # and password), how do we do that? Will I need my PC? Have you ever worked remote from a hotel room where you need to authenticate yourself before using the internet connection?
 I will look into the Micro PC client adapter because that may solve my problem (though I cannot twist and turn knobs). Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Hemanth

Thanks Mitch. You have done a great job on that Pelican case. Do you ever put that box in cargo on the planes (I am asking because I dont see a door/cover on the remoterig face at the bottom of the box). My ultimate goal is to be able to carry my stuff in a pelican case and check it in. Thanks for your skype ID. I will add it to my contact list. My skype id is hemanth369. I am in FL today and will be back home (PA) tomorrow evening. I should talk to you on friday and if I can figure this out soon, I will take my TS-480 faceplate with me to Dallas (TX) next week.
Honestly, good people like yourself make this hobby even more interesting; thanks again for offering help. I looked you up on qrz; you have a nice shack!

Hi Mitch,

Thanks for your prompt response. I was getting frustrated not being able to set this up and had resolved to sell my TS-480 along with the RRC kit. Now, I guess I am going to try and make this work.
I would be very interested to see a couple pictures of your go-box setup. I will surely research the PC client option; though I like to turn knobs on the radio...
I will look up the links you have pointed me to. Mitch, will it be ok if I need to talk to you on the phone? My personal email is hemanth369@yahoo.com.

73s,

Hi All,

I have the RRC kit and would like to use it with my Kenwood TS-480SAT. I travel every week on work and stay at hotels (Marriott, Holiday Inn etc) where the internet is free but we need to connect the CAT-5 cable to the ethernet port on the laptop and then authenticate myself on the hotel website before using internet on the laptop. I would like to get some help here so that I can make this setup and carry my radio setup.

Thanks in advance.
