It was even easier: clearing the cache in the webbrowser...

General discussion forum / Need help for Rotator control

« on: 2012-11-27, 20:05:49 »

Hi there,

I just installed the RS-232 cable for rotator control into my Webswitch 1216H (Firmware version 2.10). I want to control a rotator using DCU-1 protocol.. Now I want to setup and use the rotator but it's not showing up on the web interface.. Looking at the manual there should be "Rotator" in the bar on the left below "Temperature" but "Temperature" is the last item..

How do I enable the rotator control (via RS-232)?? In the PDF manual for the RC1216H (which should be the same) it is written that you activate the rotator in the "Advanced settings" using "Function type" - but there is no function type for rotators and the page looks completely different than in the manual..

What do I miss??

Thanks for any help!

True Jan.. :-) I guess we need to see the settings of the Radio-RRC. In the posting there was only the Control side..

Hi Ziv,

it looks like your Gateway and DNS settings are not matching your network. The addresses for the RRC boxes are 192.168.1.227 and .228 but Gateway and DNS are 192.168.0.1 - the RRC cannot reach anything outside the Intranet. It should be 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the address of your router is).

Hi,

just a short question. Am I right that I can use a ready made RJ45 CAT5 cable to connect the TS-480 with the AUX/MIC connector on the RRC? Does it have the shield on the right pin??

Thanks and 73 de Mario, DL3LSM

Mode 4 should be used for Elecraft. The commands in the Elecraft protocol is ending with a semicolon ;
that is the sign which tells the system to send the message over the IP-net.

In mode 3 the message is sent if there is a pause in the incomming data or when the buffer is full it also works in most cases but mode 4 is more secure

Thank you Mike.. Now with 1 stop-bit it's also working in Mode-4..

With the help of Tom (K8TB - thank you again) it works now..

I duplicated his serial settings ("Mode 3" char-timeout and only 1 stop-bit not 2 as Elecraft is suggesting for the K2) and it worked using both HRD and TRX-Manager.

So the reason for the faulty transfer was my using of 2 stop-bits.. That's why TRX-Manager and HRD were working directly (because there I cannot set stop-bits) but not via the Remoterig boxes.. Simple reason, big headache.. :-)

Does anybody know if the char-timeout mode is recommendable for remoting via the internet (traffic wise)??

Thanks again for your help Tom, it was necessary for me to see a setup and the settings which are working to duplicate this.. The manual is a bit counter intuitive because I was tempted to use "Mode-4" first (it is saying Elecraft)..

I'm looking forward to do the actual remote setup using the K3 in some weeks (it's more then 400km away from me).

Just an addition..

When I set "COM2 mode" to "Mode-3" (char timeout), "Mode-1" (char-by-char) or "Mode-5" (user-def-terminator - using 3b ";" which is at the end of every CAT command) I can see the frequency of the K2 in HRD although the digits are jumping around.. I see nothing in TRX-Manager which I planned to use.. If I just use a terminal on the PC typing CAT commands manually I can see that the responses coming in are very much garbled which might be the reason that the frequency display in HRD is jumping..

I really cannot figure out what "Mode-4" (Kenwood, Yaesu, Elecraft) is supposed to do and there nothing is happening..

I'm using hardware version 5 and the latest firmware..

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

I know there are some members here who operate their K3s remotely. As this is is my goal too I'd like to ask some questions.

I'm testing at the moment using my K2 (as it is available to me right now, the K3 is far away). TX and RX audio and PTT are working but I cannot control the radio using TRX-Manager (it works if I connect TRX-Manager directly).

Serial cables are connected to COM2 on the RRC boxes - both straight standard cables.

My setup:

Radio settings: as described in the manual except using 4800 baud and 2 stop bits for the K2 (for the K3 this would be 38400 baud instead).

Serial settings (COM2): Mode-4; 4800 / 8-N-2

Any idea what I'm missing??

Thank you very much!
