m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII General Description The Remoterig RRC-1258MkII (RRC) is developed especially for remote control of Amateur radio stations via the Internet in a user-friendly and cost-effective way. The RRC units are used in pairs, one is connected to the radio (Radio-RRC) and the other is connected to the control equipment (Control-RRC). The system is unique in the way that no PC is needed for the voice and data communication it’s handled by the two RRC.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII IC-703, ICOM IC-706, IC-2820 and Alinco DX-SR8. You simply replace the cable between the control panel and the radio with the Remoterig system. You will get the same feeling and functionality as with the original setup. PC-based control The system also works very well for more traditional remote control from PC-based control software’s like HamRadioDeLuxe.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Step by step system setup Below follows a recommendation about how to proceed when setting up the system. 1. Spend some time to read thru this user manual to get familiar with the product. 2. Apply 12V DC (good stabilized power) to both units. 3. Connect both units with CAT5 patch cables to the same Ethernet switch or router as your PC which you will use to setup the system is connected. 4. Download the Microbit Setup Manager and the latest firmware from http://www.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII 13. When the connection is established, test the functionality. Check that you can hear the receiver audio, check that PTT is working and microphone level is OK to be sure that the strappings are OK. 14. When this basic functionality are OK you can go further connecting cables for CW, rotor control, PA-control etc.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Hardware Front PWR LED Green light is indicating normal status. When the green LED is flashing the unit is trying to connect to the Ethernet, normally it only takes a few seconds. If the LED do not end flashing it's probably something wrong with the network connection. USB The USB-interface is used to initially set up the IP parameters. It can also be used for downloading new software (can also be done via the WEB-interface).

m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII ETHERNET The unit can be connected to both 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet based TCP/IP network. The RRC can be configured for different connection types for Ethernet port, Auto, 10HDX, 10FDX, 100HDX, 100FDX and Auto-with-preferred-10FDX. Default is Auto-with-preferred-10FDX which works best in most cases.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Strapping and jumpers Before connecting the RRC to your radio you need to put some straps in place depending on your radio. Down below follows instructions of how to disassembly the RRC and pictures showing where to find the different straps. 1: Start with removing the screws holding the D-sub on the rear marked COM2. The tool should be 5 mm (3/16").
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII 3: Behind the AUX/MIC connector there is a strapping area which looks like an IC-socket. There are two rows with 9 holes. The row next to the AUX/MIC connector is connected to the connector. The strapping is done by connecting the red strap wires, supplied with the RRC, between the holes according to the description for the radio (see radio chapter). Normally the same strapping should be done in both Control-RRC and Radio-RRC.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII 5: Control-RRC only: JMP-2 is placed near the back of the RRC next to the RESET button. JMP-2 is used to select if the DC-power to the front panels should be 8 or 9 V. With the strap in place it will be 8V, which fits all ICOM radios. Without the strap the voltage will be 9V, which fits Kenwood TS-480 and RC-2000 panels that need 9V for the back-lighter. 6: JMP-3 is placed next to the rear D-sub COM2. JMP 3 is used to connect RTS and CTS together (pin 7 and 8) in COM2.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII 7: JMP-4 is placed behind the CW-pot, and is available only in the Control-RRC. JMP-4 is used to select between Speaker level or Headset level for the Main-Rx output. The Sub-Rx is always Headset level. (JMP-4 is only present in the RRC-1258MkIIs version) 8: When you are done you can slide the lid on the bottom part and put back the screws. Be careful the threads do not stand to much force. Microbit 2.0 AB 2010.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Configuration with Microbit Setup Manager The initial settings of the network parameters are easiest done with the RRC-Manager. The RRC-Manager is a software which runs under Windows on a PC and connects to the RRC via USB (an USB cable is supplied with the RRC). RRC-Manager can be used for: IP Settings and verification o IP-address o Netmask o Gateway o DHCP Firmware upgrade o Application o Bootloader Start with downloading the RRC-Manager from the homepage www.

m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Initial IP setup The default Ip settings from the factory is 192.168.0.227 (Control-RRC) and 192.168.0.228 (Radio-RRC). The net mask is 255.255.255.0. and the gateway 192.168.0.1. To be able to contact the RRC-units via the network you must configure the units to fit into your home network. You can check your network configuration from your PC. On the start menu select Run. In the Run dialog box enter cmd. You will get a DOS-window. At the DOS-promt enter ipconfig.
m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII The Netmask is 255.255.255.0 the Netmask in the RRC:s should be the same The Default gateway is 192.168.0.1 the Gateway in the RRC:s should be the same In this case all the default IP setting will be OK. In an other network, this is the result of the ipconfig command. Your PC IP address in this example is 192.168.128.10 this means that the IP of the RRC:s must have IP:s in the area 192.168.128.2 to 192.128.255. The Netmask is 255.255.128.

m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Radio-RRC: From the RRC COM2 connector to the radios KIO3 module connector (D-sub RS-232) you use a standard RS-232 cable. Between the RRC AUX/MIC connector and the radios circular microphone jack you need to make an adapter cable by yourself or buy one from e.g. a Tigertronics distributor (for Signallink), its article number is SLCAB8R. If you use Tigertronic cable you need to put the straps different.

m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII ALINCO DX-SR8 and DX-R8 General The technical solution for the transceiver Alinco DX-SR8 and the receiver DX-R8 is the same as for IC-703/706, TS480 and TS-2000. All those transceivers are built in the way that the control panel is working separated from the radio unit itself. We replace the cable between panel and radio with to RRC-1258, one connected to the control panel and one connected to the radio.

m crob t USER MANUAL RRC-1258 MKII Appendix A - Audio coding Quality 1 or 2 is recommended for short wave listening, they are good compromises between quality and need for bandwidth. Practical test have shown that quality 0 (G711) is not the optimal coding if the signal to noise ratio is low which is common on the shortwave bands. Quality 8 gives a very good audio quality even if you listen to music on FM.
