Configuration, RRC 1258 / New Cable modem
« on: 2016-10-19, 21:29:39 »
Had the RRC-1258 up and running for quite some time.
Today, I had to have a new cable modem installed. Now my Dad, W8JFQ, cannot access the RRC at my QTH.
It has to be the new modem.
We were using the SIP.
What are the quickest steps I need to do to get this back on line for my Dad?
Nothing has changed at his QTH.
Thanks

General discussion forum / Moving the unit.
« on: 2016-05-06, 22:33:24 »
My father has a remote rig set up and running from his apartment to my QTH using my antennas.
There is a possibility in the future that he is going to have to move to another apartment.
We are SIP Contact for the units to communicate.
When this move happens, do we have to totally reprogram the unit that he has or will it just connect back up and find the right IP address?
Thanks

Problem solved.
It was my error. A few days ago I was using the antenna that is connected to the remoterig radio.
I forgot to turn the switch back.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Possible Win 10 Upgrade problem
« on: 2015-12-17, 04:45:19 »
My Dad just contacted me about his remotrig setup not connecting to my qth.
He is running an IC-706. We had everything up and running on his Win 7 computer. He upgraded to Win 10 and now he cannot get it to connect to my QTH.
I will be looking into this tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it is something on his end since he updated.
It should not be anything on my end because the remoterig is not connected to my Win10 computer.
If anyone has had an issue like this please let me know how you fixed it or where i should start looking.
I'm guessing it may have something to do with the com port assigned to the remoterig at his QTH.
He had and issue with another program after the upgrade and it was a com port issue.
Thanks for any other help in advance.

Mike:
So far everything was still working since my last post.
Yesterday, we hooked up the Signalink and had it transmitting and receiving digital.
Funny story, my dad was in the middle of making his first QSO on digital when the power went out.
Everything was on back up power accept the Signalink and the RCC Control head.
Now everything is on back up power. It was just one of those things we missed in trying to get everything to work.
The other ham did email and they confirmed the QSO.
Thanks for all your help and patients getting us through this.

Was able to get the radio and the CT-17 to my dads QTH today and get them hooked up.
At first they were not working as in HRD would not recognize the radio.
We changed cables and it made the connection!!!
Brought everything back to my QTH. Hooked everything up and it is working!!!
I have told my Dad to play around with it all today and make sure everything is working.
Tomorrow we will hook up the siganlink and see what happens.
Thanks

After thinking this over, you want me to take the Radio body and the CT-17 to my dad's QTH and hook it up to the computer and make sure it will connect with HRD without Remoterig.
Correct?

I understand what you are trying to have me do.
But, the radio is at my house and the PC is at my dad's.
Which settings are you having me check, the radio or the Computer or the CT-17??

Here is where we are at right now.
Still no Connection between Radio and HRD.
The IC-706 is set for 9600 baud and the CI-V is set at 48H.
HRD is just not finding the radio.
I am investigating the Cable from the CT-17 to the RCC. It has a DB25 that plugs into the CT-17 then it changes to a DB9 to plug into the RCC.
The instructions for the CT-17 says that it needs a RS232C cable.
I have no idea if this cable is what they are saying it needs. Researching the cables there are 2 types: Null Modem rs232 and a programming rs232.
I do not know what I have in my cable. I do have a null modem adapter.
What are your thoughts??

So we should be using Mode 2 instead of mode 1 like you stated first.
Now I will go in and make sure the 706 is set up right.
So the CV-I address should be 48H. CV-I baud should be manually set to 9600.
Si will make sure those are right then let you know.

I am not asking for support for the RRC-nano.
The Support is for the RRC-1258 for this entire thread.

Have the CT-17 in place and hooked up as per your instructions.
That's no problem. Connect a ICOM CT-17 CI-V interface betwen the Radio-RRC com2 and the Radio CI-V connector. Setup com2 in both RRCs to mode 1 and set the same baudrate as the IC706 is set to (9600 is OK). Connect the PC to Control-RRC com2.
So far we have not been able to get HRD to connect to the radio. We even tried the Mode 2 (Icom CI-V) but got the same results.
So was are back to mode 1.
We have the cable from the radio plugged into port 5 on the IC-706 which by the manual states that it is the CI-V port. The other end is plugged into port 1 on the CT-17. Yes we have power to the CT-17.
Tried setting the detects in HRD to Auto for Com port and baud rate. that failed to connect also.
We tried to input everything manually accept the Com port (auto) and that failed too.
Is there something that we are missing or did not do??
