Control unit is now "Radio version" in Setup manager

[LB8IB]

Hi,

I am trying to set up my remote with the K3/0 for the first time.

After having everything working at the remote location I am now home with the RRC Control unit (The one with the CW knob)
When attaching  the RRC control unit to my home network it shows up in setup manager as the Radio version?

When I browse the device I get the radio version settings page and I am stuck...

Can someone clarify what is going on here?

Looks like this problem in reverse:

Thank you Mitch


I changed to "type=control" in the web address and now it is showing control version again in setup manager

However, all my settings done at the remote site on the control unit is gone...

Maybe I should change to the latest firmware
I received them with version 2.88

Olaf,

That is impossible. I suspect that you were accessing the radio RRC the whole time and not the control RRC.
What URL were you using to make the changes?

Hi

There is a handful before you who have manage to change the type by accident, That's why we introduce a way to change it back, We have never been able to find out how it can be done by misstake.

It has nothing to do with firmware version.

Hi Mike and Mitch,

I will try to clarify

I configured both units and everything was working perfect inside the network at the remote QTH with some help from Mitch :-)
The radio RRC has been offline since i left the remote last Thursday 

I went home happy with the control unit and connected it to my home network with LAN cable and USB cable to my home PC
When i opened setup manager it showed up as radio version in  "Netinfo/find - find devices" in Microbit set up manager"

When I clicked on "browse device" the URL showed  http://10.0.0.83 with the radio version page

I then changed my control RRC back to "control version" using the recipe "RecoverControl/Radio unit" on this page  http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=1695

After doing this my control RRC now shows up correct as the "control version" , but all the settings have disappeared..

Not sure if this is related, but another strange thing after this issue is that the PWR led is blinking on the control RRC and the browser DNS status field states:
"No DNS server configured" or  "OK, remoterig.com = 213.180.92.20"

I am using  DHCP in my setup
The "Net info/find tab" looks like this:

MAC       : 00:1e:fd:01:9f:95
IP address: 10.0.0.83
Netmask   : 255.255.255.0
Gateway   : 10.0.0.138
DNS       : 193.213.112.4

I would like to get things sorted out at the control site before I try to connect to the remote

I did a factory reset on the control RRC and the PWR LED now has a steady light and the RRC still shows up as the control version
The DNS status field shows:  OK, remoterig.com = 213.180.92.20

Maybe things are looking more promising..
I will continue tomorrow

Olaf,

You may wish to use my networking checklist to set things up first. Just drop me a short mail
to dj0qn (at) darc.de and I will send it to you.
