RRC with IC-7100 will not connect

[N4KJ]

Hi:
New installation using two RRC-1258 MkII with new IC-7100 has never connected. Directly connecting radio to Icom control head works correctly.

Configured Radio side as IP 192.168.1.102 and control side as 192.168.1.103. Circuit board plugged correctly into control side and jumpers installed (and rechecked) into RRC on radio side. Both control and radio RRC connect to my router and I'm able to set all parameters using web-based browser.

Radio and control sides "Radio settings" are set as prescribed in manual and confirmed

The most common error the customer makes is that when they change the ip-number of the Radio-RRC they forgot to change SIP contact IP in the Control-RRC to match the new Radio-RRC IP. Router settings has no effect when both are on the same LAN

If it's not the SIP contact problem send exported settings (html) files from both unit as personal message or emal

Thank you for the reply Mike. The radio IP address is 192.168.1.102, and the Radio settings for the control side matches this as shown below:

Sip contact(Radio RRC IP/hostname)   192.168.1.102

Do you see anything else that's not right in the control radio setup?

Yes, current "test" setup uses common router.

Exported setting to follow.


Thank you!

Sorry, don't see a way to embed a file. Here's the exported HTML text from both sides:

The settings looks ok, If you use wifi. Try with cables. Wireless isolation might be active in the router /mike

[N4KJ]

Mike:

You mean use the USB connection to check setup?

Jerry

[sm2o]

No ethernet cables

Mike

[N4KJ]

Yes, sure, sorry. Brain freeze. Each through the router or 1258s back to back through Ethernet connection?

[sm2o]

Both works but it's better to connect both to the router so you can check what the status pages says when you press the PWR on button on front panel

Hello Mike:

I think you're in Europe, so getting late there so no need to respond today.

Connected both ways, back to back through straight-through Ethernet cable and both unit connected through router through individual Ethernet cables. I can still connect through WiFi and view setup and change setting using laptop on network. I see no change in Status when power button is pressed. What should I see? I also tried DHCP assignment. Seems pretty simple, but just isn't working.

Of course I can ping both units from networked PC, no issue. Is there a way to ping one unit to the other? Could I have a defective side? If so, how would I know which side?

I'll be busy until weekend, but do let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again de N4KJ

[sm2o]

Hi when you press power on the yellow LED over the Mic/Aux jack should light up and the and later the panel should start. Have you connected the Controlpanel to the Mic/Aux Jack of the Control-RRC, (the one with the CW-speed knob) ? Have you placed the and turned the 1258M adapter PCB correct in the same RRC, you can post a pciture ?

[N4KJ]

No functionality whatever when connected through remote rig. All functions correctly with control head connected directly to radio. Yes, all cabling to head and radio are correct. Pictures of jumpers are attached. Can I send any other photos?

[G3TKF]

Is this sorted now Jerry ?
I was looking at my 7100 connections over a network as I have intermittent audio on TX and trying to trace why that is happening (unsuccessfully!)  - and there are a few differences although nothing major I can see ...

I would personally never use the WiFi module again though . That was nothing but a headache !

Hello Robin:

Thanks for considering my post. I should have closed this issue on the forum. Yes, all working now. My bad, stupid connection problem As for IC-7100 installation, never plug the microphone into the RRC 'MIC' connector. Microphone connects to the radio control head, In my case, nothing connects to the TTL port on the RRC.

My WiFied connections seems to be performing fine. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Hi Jerry

Glad you are fixed.

I still have an intermittent audio problem that is driving me nuts.
Tx audio (SSB and FM) dissappeared 6 times during a 3 hr VHF (50Mhz) contest tonight. Using N1MM as logger.
Resetting either control or radio briefly resolves the problem ... switching off remote 12v does the same.

When the fault is on, audio sometimes can JUST be heard under low level clicking (almost a purring sound)

I have changed the IC 7100 radio as I have a spare - both ends ...the fault still occurs.
It's beginning to look like a RR1258 unit fault (snr 11960)

Any ideas greatfully accepted !!
