I can’t help with whether the ports are hard coded or not … but I can give you a neat solution.
You can use a low cost raspberry Pi with a couple of USB to Serial adaptors to link to the KPA500 and KAT500 The free software ser2net will give you a direct interface from the TCP/IP to the serial ports. Configuration is pretty easy and basically two lines like 4626:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:19200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner 4627:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB1:19200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner You can connect to the TCP/IP side of the Raspberry Pi through WiFi or Ethernet from your main router, but you would have to open those ports inside the router. I run my KX3 remotely like that without problems ( higher baud rates work well for me ) John G7LTQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
