OK John, congrats on getting it to work. Most of those settings do not
apply to keying, but some will apply to getting N1MM+ working.
Without N1MM+, unplug the USB cable from the front panel of the 1258.
Get into Control Panel-->Device Mangler-->Ports and plug in the USB
connector to the computer.
You should see 4 virtual COM ports appear, named:
RRC1258 COM0(XX)
RRC1258 COM1(YY)
RRC1258 COM2(ZZ)
RRC1258 COM Extra(UU)
The number in parens is the number assigned by Windows. The RRC1258
COM1 port is the CAT port to the remote radio. Start N1MM+ and go to
Configure-->Ports. If you get a "Radio not responding" message, cancel
it. In the first configuration line, select "YY" [windows assigned port
for RRC1258 COM1], K3, uncheck, uncheck, and click on Set.
In the window that comes up, 38400, N, 8, 1, Always Off, Always Off,
Radio 1. Uncheck Allow ext interrupts, uncheck the next 4 boxes,
Footswitch=None, Polling rate=50% slower, OK. The next row should be
for your Winkey if you're using one. Find the COM port # by unplugging
and see which one goes away in Device Mangler and select it. None,
check CW, Set. In set window, Always off, Always off, VFO 1, PTT
Delay=20, uncheck ext interrupts, and check Winkey if that's what you're
using, and None, None, OK
Close N1MM+ and restart. That should do it for you. Remote operation
involves a lot of "moving parts." The odds of getting it to work on the
first try are slim, if you do, go buy a lottery ticket. The CAT on the
remote K3 must be 38400, N, 8, 1. Nearly all of the buttons and
controls on the K3/0 should work as if you were at the real radio site
including the MIC and PHONES connectors. I'm not sure you can record CW
or Phone messages in the memories from the control site, I've never
tried because W7RN is a shared multi-user site. Typing a frequency into
the N1MM+ CALL field in the Entry window will [or should] send you to
that band/frequency.
Let us know your progress.

SUCCESS! I now have the external keyer working with the K3/0-Mini and
RemoteRig boxes. Many thanks to Chuck N8CL for sending me his settings.
Here's what he sent.
I/O:
INO mode=keyer
out 0=keyer
out1=keyer
out2=keyer
USB RTS as PTT=com 0
USB DTR as PTT=com 0
Keyer:
enable=yes
iambic=b
all those number entries in order: 30/600/40/100/50/10/40
Serial:
com 1 mode = mode 7, cat to com 2 (remote)
com 1 baud 38,400
data=8
stop=1
parity=0
com 1 RTS/cts=no
hex=00
USB com port as com 1 = yes
com 2 mode=logical parallel with com 0
baud=38400
8-1-0
hex=00
USB com port as com 2=no
com 3(extra) mode (USB-com fsk)=mode-10 baudot rtty
I have no idea which ones worked, but the end result is that if I plug
the output of the external keyer into the KEY jack on the back of the
K3/0-Mini it works.
The next challenge is to get the RemoteRig client box to send
frequency data to N1MM+ on my computer. Help always appreciated.
